Mik Kaminski from heyday ELO - violin (got to meet him --- very pleasant)
Louis Clark ( I consider him an original member) - Played additional string and choir embellishments on a Korg Triton
Louis Clark, Jr. (^his son!) on cello and acoustic guitar
Eric Troyer from ELO Part II on keys/vox
Glenn Burtnick from later era Styx on bass/vox ( I talked to him -- cool and funny guy)
Parthenon Huxley on guitar/vox ( also a cool guy)
Gordon Townsend on drums (also a cool guy -- played a 4-piece kit)
Cool. I still can't believe Kaminski is not being included in the Hall Of Fame induction. Criminal if you ask me.
are you kidding me? i didnt know that...thats bullshyte
Not a surprise. When Louis Clark came in, and they started recording with a full orchestra instead of just the three string players, those three were demoted from band members to hired-hand touring musicians.
still, he and Kelly Groucutt were the only members that were part of all the incarnations of the group ( I dont think Bevan played in any incarnation of The Orchestra or Orkestra).....but they have Roy Wood being inducted. Yeah, ELO was a brainchild of Wood/Lynne but he bailed after the first album -- even made sport of them with Wizzard (Bend Over Beethoven, which was written by Hugh McDowell, cellist for both ELO and Wizzard)
would be nice if the RRHoF committee actually researched the history of the acts they induct
What is "The Orchestra?"
Ex members of ELO and ELO Part II doing ELO songs.
Do they really call themselves The Orchestra? Pretty good restraint, actually.
I have never seen them, but yes that is what they call themselves.
are these guys touring? hard to find any info.
Yes, and they even have an album out, No Rewind, they put out in the 00s that sounds a lot like Beatles/hey-dey ELO
I get the impression that they just play sporadic shows here and there.
...Which is OOP and now going for $190 on Amazon. Dammit! This always happens to me.
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
I'd like to see them tour with Jeff Lynne.
