THE TEDHEAD E-MAIL DIRECTORY


On a point of clarification for the title of this directory, "Tedhead" is a very broad term, and not necessarily an accurate description of everyone's association with Ted. In the not-to-distant past, the term "Tedhead" did develop a sort of reputation, and, despite Ted's recent renewed use of this term, some list members have informed me that they do not wish to be listed here for that reason. "Newbies" - and those who live very far away from the US - who have yet to meet this wonderful man (hopefully, many saw their dreams fulfilled during the last A.D. (nee "Farewell") Tour (2006-2010), and/or are seeing them currently fulfilled during Ted's JCS engagements in Rome, Italy and The Netherlands (2016-2022)) - probably fall more under the "generic" meaning of the term "Tedhead," while others, like me, DaGirLS, some friends in LA and certainly those in Ventura, CA - (where Ted has spent a good deal of time with, and without, his family) - fall, more accurately, under the category of "friend," which is the term Ted prefers when referring to us. However, in the interest of needing a "generic term" for what we all initially had in common, and the fact that this term is now being referred to as a phenomenon (Variety Weekly - 8/10/06 ), Ted's current usage of the term as part of his recent projects, and though I prefer the term "Ted Family," I am using "Tedhead" here as the title of my correspondence directory, until we can find a better, more universal term to use.

With Ted's list of followers continuing to grow almost daily now, it occurred to me that I had not been listing the "original" or older Tedheads already on the list when I began this site. The Original Ted-Neeley Yahoogroups List (312 members at last count on or about 4/25/07) was removed for unknown reasons from the Yahoogroups website, however, at the request of some of those list members, I have started a replacement group for that list, the First Ted Neeley List, which, after only 10 days, had 133 members, and has already celebrated it's 15-year online anniversary, is still growing rapidly - last count is 312 members as of 8/7/22 (the same as the final count on the original list!). Many of the original list members and First Ted Neeley List members are listed here, some are not yet listed here, as I do not have enough information on them to be able to list them at this time, or they choose not to be listed here. There are also some Tedheads listed here who are not yet list members, but who have written to me and may be joining at any time.  Here, then, is the entire list of Tedheads, with complete information, that I have at this time, myself included.  If you would like to e-mail these really great folks, they'd love to hear from  you!  I've listed them alphabetically by last name/initial, and by country and/or state (when given), in case anyone is looking for a "Tedhead" who lives close-by.  As always, if anyone would like their e-mail address/pictures added to  - and/or removed from -  this section of my page, let me know at my e-mail below.

Ted continues to be touched by the continuous additions to our "Tedhead Family", and, through Kathy, Ted sent this welcome to our Italian contingent, in honor of the release of their Rasputin site:

Hello again, Kathy,

Please say a new hello and thank you to Silvia Toselli, Raffaella, Claudio and Mari in Italy.  And welcome each one to our growing family of friends.
TN.

And upon hearing of the incredibly happy response to his first message by our Italian Contingent, Ted forwarded me this response:

Hello Cindi,

I love that Raffaella and Silvia are happy about our connection.  I look forward to the continuing relationship with our very special new Italian friends.

Thank you Cindi, for keeping the circle turning.
TN.

 

 

LA TEDHEADS INTERVIEWED FOR BRITISH JCS DOCUMENTARY

Imran and Julie Jackson (JulieJ@zigzag.uk.com) of Zig Zag Productions in London, England, and some of her crew, contacted a number of us about a JCS Documentary they were putting together. Here's the e-mail Julie sent me back on 9/8/05:

Hi Cindy,

I got your name from Imran who you've had previous contact with regarding JCS.  We are now looking for a group of JCS fans in LA (or maybe NY) who meet regularly (outside of cyber space..) to discuss, watch, sing songs from JCS.  I'd really appreciate your help on this.  We are looking to film in LA mid-september and it would be great to have some people to interview.
Many thanks

There seem to be various ways that this interview came about, but regardless of how it happened, they reached a good group of folks who had a good interview, and, hopefully, one day we'll all get to see the segment. Meanwhile, you can read the e-mails below from Judy and Jenn talking about it: 

Hi Cindi,

Of course you may post the emails. Looking forward to La Mancha. I'm sure we'll see you then.

Judy

Hi Judy,

Thanks for the e-mail! I was wondering, might I post yours and/or Jenn's e-mails on this on my website - with your credits, of course? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Good morning Diane and everyone, Greetings from not so sunny California. We're in the middle of a huge thunder, lightning and rain storm. We can use the rain though.

The interview was last night at my house. Three young men, Rory, Jason and Tom came from England. They are doing a movie about how Jesus and religion are portrayed in movies so it is not just about Ted and JCS, but many different movies and performances. They have interviewed many different stars, directors and producers. They were going to see Norman Jewison later this week. They also tried to track down our ever elusive Ted but were unable to hook up with him. They wanted to get the perspective from some fans and that's where we came in.

They arrived about 5:30. Jenn was still there and was able to talk to them, but unfortunately not on camera. She and Kat brought their collections of memorabilia. The crew was very impressed. The interview went well. They asked us to talk about how JCS came into our lives, when we first heard the music, saw the movie , saw the play, favorite song (Gethsemene) for both of us. We told them about the wonderful fans all over the world and mentioned many of you. They were amazed to know there is such a following. And, of course we talked about Ted and our experiences with him.

All in all it was a lot of fun. I think we were good representatives for "our group" When completed sometime in December, it will only be shown in England, but they said they would get us a copy. Our segment will, I'm sure be very short, as they are talking to many many others. I'm sure Kat will also post to everyone.

Love and peace,
Judy

YOU MIGHT BE A TEDHEAD IF.....

On 2/7/01, Michelle Owens (MAY121961@aol.com) came up with this idea on Ted's list.  Here, with permission, are some of the VERY FUNNY - and - VERY TRUE responses:

From Michelle Owens (May121961@windstream.net):

    hold them up during "Could We Start Again Please"
 ...You thought of having any song from JCS played at your wedding, or funeral 
 ...You have had dreams about JCS...or perhaps nightmares like when you dream you are cast as Mary
    Madeleine and then when you ask the casting director who will starring as Jesus and your fingers
   are crossed hoping he will say Ted Neeley and he says.......Neil Diamond. (TRUE STORY...A
   nightmare I recently had while taking cough syrup with codeine.)
(NOTE:  HEY MICHELLE - NO
   FAIR!  I'M ALSO A DIAMOND FAN FROM WAY BACK!!!)
...You have seen Ted graciously accept a Jiminy Cricket gift that you know for a fact that he has a
   dozen of already!
...You got caught taking pictures during the show and an employee of the theater tried to confiscate your
    film, and you lied and told them they couldn't have the film because the beginning of the roll contains
   the baptism pictures of your Godchild...Hail Mary Full of Grace I said 10 of them for that lie.
...You traveled at record breaking speeds to see a show in the next state were still running late and had
   to roll you hair and put your makeup on in a local Laundromat because it was on the way to the
   theater
...You baked Ted a pecan pie

   few seconds ago?"

   knows you drove from Oklahoma to Kansas to see JCS on the same day he put the braces on
...You borrowed the JCS guitar player's tuning instrument to pull the rubber bands from between your
   back molars so you could enjoy the last half of the show because you were in so much pain! What was
   his Name BOB?
...You once sent Christmas cards to some friends you new wouldn't be offended that said "Merry
   Christmas from our family" on the front with a photo of your family and when you open it up there
   was a picture of Ted with a line that said "and from a man who looks a lot like Jesus" (Sorry Father
  Lahr)
...Everyone you know calls you on the telephone when JCS is playing on television and you don't let
  them know you watch it every morning when getting ready for work
...Your Mom looks at you seriously and asks "You do know that he isn't really Jesus"
...You wait outside the theater so long that the tour bus leaves and then after talking with Ted, he leaves
   in a limo to do an interview with a radio station...and then out comes a cast member and you HAVE to
  give him a ride back to the hotel and you get lost (Give me the map babe, We love you Anthony!)
...Your friend who knows how obsessed you are has to go to MD Anderson for Cancer Treatment in
  Houston (Bless her Heart! She's Cured) calls to get Ted's address so she can take a picture of his house
  for you

From Liz Turner (Tedhead4life@aol.com):
 ...If you made your husband drive from Tulsa to Fort Worth Texas for an overnight trip to get a tattoo of the Two Angels from the album cover on your ankle.  I did in 1999.  Michelle Owens has photos if you are interested. 

 From Linda Holloway (linda.holloway@starzencore.com):
 ...You spend an inordinate amount of time during the tour writing little letters, calling the production
    company to get the "next stop" info and fed-exing them to Ted, timed to arrive at each and every stop
   on the tour. (that's not obsessive is it?)
...You drive your friends and family, (who just don't "get it") crazy trying to convince them of what a
   wonderful human being Ted is.
...You spend time trying to reach the old friend from 1973/74 that turned you on to JCS in the first place.
   Nancy Alexander, are you out there?
...You cry each and every time you watch and/or listen to the "Gethsemane" part.
...Being from Dallas, Texas, you're sure if you had just taken a drive past Ft. Worth and hit Ranger,
  Texas, way back before Ted took off for California, you could have been the present Mrs. Neeley.
  (ladies, I'm sure you can relate to this fantasy, ha! ha!)
...You contact strangers on the internet to try to connive them out of "all the videos that Ted had any
   appearance in even if they are really bad".
...Totally, out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever, you have a dream that includes Ted.
...You force your poor child (because he has to "mind you") to stand in freezing weather for 45 minutes
   outside of the theatre in hopes of getting your  "Ted-hug".
...You won't allow anyone to borrow your JCS videotape..."it's mine, and what if something happened to
   it?"
...You respond to a list with the open-ended question "you might be a Ted-head if..."


From Debbie Meeker (dlmeeker@juno.com):
...You just CAN'T GET THROUGH THE DAY without hearing "Ithaca" at least once before you go to
   sleep....
...Your twelve year old looks at you funny as you are about to put the needle on your 1974 AD album,
   AGAIN...
...When the subject of relationships comes up with your children, you know You might be a Tedhead if
   your kids say, "We know, Mom; You have told us before," as you tell them of how old Ted was before
  he got married and how he met his wife as an example of how waiting to get married is a good thing...
...You taped all of Ted's albums onto a cassette so that you can hear them in your car...
...You record onto a cassette tape your  3 favorite songs from Ulysses over and over again so that you
  don't have to keep putting the needle back on the record...

Here are mine:
...You flew 3,000+ miles to see anything that Ted is performing in.
...You spend all night voting for Ted on any FreeVote voting booth.
...You pay an ATROCIOUS amount of money for something related to Ted on ebay like:
     A ticket to a 1968 Teddy Neeley Five concert in Ranger, Texas (right Jan?).
     A copy of the LP Teddy Neeley Five (guilty).
     A copy of the JCS program book (guilty).
     A copy of "Rock Opera: The Creation of Jesus Christ Superstar from Record Album to Broadway Show and 
                       Motion
Picture, by Ellis Nassour and Richard Broderick" (right Judie?, and - slightly guilty).
...You are out shopping and spot anything with Jiminy Cricket on it and buy it thinking, "Well, the next time I
    see Ted..."
...You set-up a website and Ted is at least part of it (right Denise, Kathy, Debbie, Stormy, Raffaella, Silvia, and
   okay - guilty).
...You've saved anything that you have related to Ted (like my 22-year-old Tommy program) and know EXACTLY
   where it is so that you can bring it next time you see Ted.


And - here is Maribel Navarro's (maribelnm63@yahoo.com) hilarious/horrendously frustrating account of her struggle to get the JCS 1973 film on DVD, which may make her one of the biggest "Tedheads" of all:

Hi Cindy:

It has been so hard for me to get the DVD that right now I cannot think about anything else than looking at it. The story behind the DVD makes me a real "Tedhead", I will just write a summary:

- First try, May 2002: Spanish Web claims that they have the 1973 for Region2. I order. There is a problem with the post code. They get the DVD back.

- Second try: I change the address to my personal one. I phone them to make it sure that it was the 73 movie, they say YES. I received a couple of weeks later the Glenn Carter stuff. Send it back to them. I was paid back, but terribly disappointed

- Third try: A French colleague (that lives in Paris) goes to US on holidays. We order the DVD from Amazon to her relatives address. No news yet...

- Fourth try: I order it from one web. After a week they asked me to send all my data (including bank accounts) BY E-MAIL : I rejected (I am crazy about JCS and TN but still not that stupid)

- Fifth try: I order the DVD from dvd.com. After two months I am told that nobody knows what has happened to the order. Never get back my 25$

- Sixth try (November, 2002): I order again from dvd.com. After 10 days I have the paper from the Post Office. They have tried but I was not home. Go to the Post office and they do not find the box. I started shouting like crazy. I insisted so hard that they looked in every single shelf. I was about to cry when they found it. IT WAS MINE!!

Then I needed some extra help from a friend to get some program that eliminates the "region problem". And since last week I am just crazy about it...

Well, sorry for the long story, but every single word is absolutely true..

But the important thing is that after 6 months I have the DVD with me and I am able to share all this fantastic shots with everybody.

Cheers and take care.

Maribel.



TEDHEADS MEETING TED

 

UPDATE 12/13/03

On December 13, 2003 in Ventura, three of our friends, Jenn and Judy Bernbaum (on Ted's right, respectively) and Veth (VJ) Javier (on Ted's left), were lucky enough to have lunch with Ted at the Pierpont Inn, as arranged by newest list member, and RTC co-founder, Karyl Lynn Burns.  Below are their posts on the lunch, and the wonderful day they had.  So...all you Tedheads who haven't met Ted yet, hang in there, it can, and will, happen to you!  Below are a few more shots that were taken that day:

Jenn Bernbaum (J_bernbaum@yahoo.com):

hi all--

well, it was a great day! lunch with ted was wonderful... sharing conversation, laughs and hugs...what more could a girl ask for. ted looked awesome! when we saw him last, ted was nearly bald, had a horrible scar over his eye and looked very tired...true, he was in make-up from the play 'murder in the first' but it was a shock to see him like that. yesterday he looked great. hair was long again, eyes were twinkling and he looked well-rested.

veth, my mom and i took a lot of pictures and i promise to get them to you sometime today. out of three cameras, we should have some good shots. have to get them developed and put on cd. my mom is actually going to do that this morning. veth used a digital camera so i'm sure as soon as she gets a chance, she'll download them and get them out as well.

it was great to meet veth in person. as all of the ted friends have proven to be, she is very kind and friendly.

our lunch ran a little late. karyl lynn arranged for us to go to the matinee of 'defying gravity' which began at 2:00 but at 2:10, we were still deep in conversation with ted. he had already seen the performance and had other plans for the day so we tore ourselves away from him, said our good byes :-( and headed to the theatre. we were almost a 1/2 hour late and were snuck into the theatre. the play was great. if there is anyone on this list living in so. california who hasn't seen it yet, i highly recommend that you do. i think it runs for another week. afterwards we found karyl lynn, thanked her for arranging all of this for us. karyl lynn, you really are a sweetheart!!!!!!! thank you again for everything. it was a fabulous day from beginning to end. i'm glad you and the cast enjoyed the tray of sweets. i love to bake. in fact i used to be a pastry chef. i would be thrilled to submit a couple of recipes and i'm sure my mom would as well.

ted really enjoyed the guestbook. i took a couple of pictures of him reading it...he was really touched.

one more thing, i asked ted about carl and ted said he was actually going ot visit carl today at the hospital with jim o'neil. carl is undergoing more medical treatments. i know this goes without saying, but keep sending all those positive thoughts and energy his way.

what else....
veth, fill-in what i have left out.

you were all definitely there in spirit...we talked about you throughout the lunch.

ttys,
peace,
jenn

Veth (VJ) Javier: (vjla@netzero.net)

TED HAS TO BE THE NICEST MAN...just want to say to Jenn, great meeting you and Judi.   I ate half of your pumpkin bread on the way home.  YUMMY!!!!

The pictures Susan and Mikey sent did not print well so I used a pic from the CD from Geth scene.  Similar to Mikey's pic.  Ted told us how he felt about being on that mountain.  Now Gethsemane even has more meaning to me than just being the best scene in the movie.
 
My pictures are coming out really huge when I send them out. I will get help from my office to get them smaller so it will be easier to receive them.
 
I reminded Jenn about Denise's dare during one of her many hugs.  Jenn did not do it but Ted must have caught on because he gave her a kiss on the side of her face and I have a picture of it (to follow later.)
 
I had a list of questions in my head and was able to ask some of them.  I am sure some of you would like to know.
 
I knew he lived near me in the 70's and 80's...Stormy, when you went to Texas looking for Ted to marry him, he was living about two miles from me and a block from my best friend in Los Angeles County.  (I could have been stalking him and Leeann if I would have known. HA)
 
Ted talked about moving back to Southern California when his son graduates from high school.  To me that means he will be doing more theatre work in the area.  Yeah!  Tessa is in college in Texas and his son (I am horrible with names) is out of high school in a year and a half.  Tessa, like her mother is a ballerina and can sing but only for herself.  His son, Ted says, sings to everything around the house but both of them don't seem to seek out careers in performing arts.
 
He said he has not slowed down.  Still constantly writing and being an artist.
 
He loved the notes.  We told him about all of you who we could remember and where you are from.  Laura, when he signed the picture for you I told him for Laura.  He said "Is this for Laura Da Costa?" 
 
I also told him about my niece who he met when she was five.  Her first big performance was at age 11 when she sang the "Star Spangled Banner" at a Dodger game.  My niece, a huge Ted Head, on the way to the Dodger Stadium kept singing the JCS song.  We had to tell her several times to be quiet and save her voice.  She was also saying "this is for Ted" since the Dodgers were playing Houston.  She is now  in her second year at L.A. County High School of  the Arts.  If you want to hear the National Anthem...for Ted...    
 
Jenn, thanks for letting me hang out with you and Judi.  Your relationship with your Mom reminded me of mine.  Karyl, never ending thanks.
Veth

As of 5/1/03, some of our Tedheads have been posting some wonderful stories about first meeting Ted.  My story is posted above in Ted's introduction, but I thought I would post some of their stories here.  Tedheads, as always, if you would prefer your story remain on the list and not be posted here, just let me know and I will gladly remove it.  Enjoy, everyone!

From:  Stormy Porter-Reiley (stormy62@abingdon.net):

Hi guys,

Today while corresponding with another Ted Neeley fan (who apparently is not on our list yet), I found myself telling her of my first encounter with Ted.  I have never shared this story with you folks.  I have never really shared the story with anyone before today, because that time in my life and that night are all mixed up with a lot of other emotions that until today I never really thought out, or put down on paper (or keystroke).  Once I did, there it was.  Don't know really why I didn't share this story before now.  Here it is.

Let me tell you what I did the first time I met Ted. Got to remember now, this was about 1994. I'd carried this torch for him since '73.  I found out they were doing the JCS 20th anniversary tour.

I am so excited I about pee my pants the day of the concert.  My then-husband (now x) takes me to Charlotte, NC to the show.  You'd have to know the control freak my x husband was to really appreciate the dramatic "coming out" with my independence I pulled that night.  This is the kind of husband who drove me to work because he was so jealous. For ten years he drove me to work and picked me up!   He wouldn't let me take Spanish classes on Tuesday nights at the local community college because there were "men" there.  Just a real insecure guy who was probably out doing what he was constantly accusing ME of.  Spent over ten years in this marriage to this guy who made me take one of the kids with me to go get groceries (so I wouldn't be going somewhere I shouldn't)...Geeze, I could kick myself now, years later when I look back at the girl I was then.

Anyway, I tell you this so you can see the frame of mind I was in, the kind of life I was living etc.  So anyway, he knew when we began dating back in about 1981 that if Ted Neeley ever came along, I was gone.  I said it jokingly on our third date, proudly showing off the photo album I had of pictures I'd collected of Ted as a young child and teenager.  I hadn't heard anything about Ted since the 1978 album Ulysses came out, and I'd spent time on the phone calling places, and  writing to "Hollywood" trying to find out where Ted was (this was way before internet came along).  I pretty much figured he'd dropped off the face of the earth.  So saying that if Ted ever DID come along was sort of just a joke because at that time no one I knew, knew where he was or even IF he still was.

This husband was also a remote control warrior and we always watched what he wanted on TV, with me (again jokingly on the sidelines) meekly saying "well if something is on with Ted Neeley we are watching that"....he would just roll his eyes and tell me to get over it.  Ok, so life goes on, move from the early 1980's to around 1994.  This controlling husband has only agreed to take me to the JCS show because for once in my life I stood up to him and said I was going no matter what he did. Ok, so I bring my camera and we get to the show.  They had a program on a table as we went in telling what songs were being sung, and having a picture of the scene from the movie.  I grabbed a handful and stuck them in between the photo album I had brought that I had since childhood containing all those clippings of Ted I'd collected.  

We had back row seats.  When we get there, the lady at the door said I couldn't use my camera.  Never having been to any concert in my life, I was "in the dark" about the rules when one goes to a concert.  I was sadly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to take a picture of Ted, but I complied with the rule (like I did with everything in my life then).

At the end of the show when they all came back on stage to take their final bow, I told my husband I was going to get up close to the front there, so I could at least SEE Ted.  He said ok, and told me he was going to the lobby to the bathroom.  Well I walked up to the edge of the stage, Ted and Carl both happened to look at me.  Eye contact!  I mouthed the words "will you sign my book" holding up my photo album.  Ted nodded and at that point all 20 or more of those programs I'd grabbed on the way into the concert fell out of the book and scattered all around me!  Talk about looking like an idiot!.

Within moments the curtain dropped and Ted and Carl had disappeared.  I don't know what happened to me but at that moment I was like a women possessed!  I made a straight line for the stage door, and the guard told me I couldn't get in.  I tried to look all official and serious and what I had hoped was my "intimidating look".  I announced that "Ted was expecting me".  He firmly told me to leave.  I then began to cry and to beg and to plead.  "mister PLEASE you don't know, I have followed this man since 1973, I just HAVE to meet him, please sir please"....I must have been a pitiful site because he took mercy on me and said "ok, you can come in but stand here and don't move.

I stood for 20 minutes. Remember the controlling husband?  I didn't.  I forgot I even had one!  

It was then that Ted and Carl came out and I walked up to Ted and said how much I appreciated his music and his performance not just tonight but throughout the years, and how I just wanted to shake his hand.  He smiled and said "no handshake, a hug".....at that point I was enveloped in one of Teds famous hugs.  It was also about this time that my husband who had been scouting the parking lot, the lobby, the rest room and the auditorium finally wandered back to that stage door and found me.  Did I care?  Not at that moment.  In fact this meek controlled women, handed him (husband) the camera and said "pictures, take pictures, NOW!"....and he did!  There are some of them posted on my web page.  

Life goes on still further and not long after that show of independence,  the husband and I split up.  Not because of that night. Not at all, but over something much more serious that he had done.  I am no longer that submissive women.  I never will be again.  I am remarried now to an awesome guy who knows how to show love, to trust and to communicate.  I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world.  I often look back on that night though.  It was not only the highlight of my life having finally met Ted but was symbolic of my own "declaration of independence" as well.  It was a pivotal point in my marriage and in my own growth into the women that I am today.

From Kate Yuvasheva (kittyu@comcast.net): (This is  actually a story about meeting Carl):

Stormy, your story made me think of how I was looking for Carl after the show this February (I actually came there to meet him... well, but I liked the show, too... when Sebastian was silent for a while.) I was kind of trying a "backstage crusade", never succeeded, got mad and disappointed, and when I finally give up and about to just get out of the building - there he is! I just stood there with my mouth wide open, but at least managed to make myself look OK when he turned around and looked at me... (not sure this will be the case if I EVER got to meet Ted... I would just stand there... unconscious. and happy)

It's so nice to read the discussion that's going on... thank you, everyone! You are great!

From VJ (vjla@netzero.net):

Hello Stormy, hi everyone.  I have been a silent Ted-Head listening to all your stories.
 
I just read Stormy's sweet story.  Reminded me of the time I met Ted.  I was too sick to go backstage, but made it to three JCS shows in Los Angeles.  Then a friend taped a "48 hours" show for me that featured the company touring.  My then boyfriend took the name of the theatre and called to see where they were going next.  Anyway, to make a long story short we found out they were going to be in San Diego in about a month.  Made it to San Diego early that day to get tickets for the evening show (different boyfriend by this time.)  This couple handed me a couple of tickets for the matinee show about to go on in 1 minute.  Went in still in T-shirt and shorts.   After the show,  went back stage and waited.  Leaped when Ted came out.  (This was all unplanned--I will email pictures later.)  He was wonderful.  Yes, got a Ted-hug.  Another Tedhead met me at the lounge where he was staying that evening.  He had coffee (he drank water) with us.  We knew he was tired and missed his family, but he was so nice to stay up with us.   He knew it was the biggest thrill for us.  Found out he only lived a few blocks from me when he lived in L.A.  Anyway, went to a few more shows and a few more theaters.  Everytime he saw me, he made me feel like he had known me for a long time.  I took my 5-year old niece to one of the shows in Pasadena later.  She also became a Ted-Head.  I would like to say JCS inspired her.  She is now attending Los Angeles High School for the Arts studying to be an opera singer.  That is my Tedhead story.
 
Stormy, your ex-husband reminded me of Ted Neeley's character in "Of Mice and Men."  I finally got a copy.  If anybody wants to see a mean Ted Neeley with short dark wavy hair, tight jeans and tight shirt getting on and off a horse...what a cutie.  It looked like a late 70's movie with Robert Blake.   
 
Bye for now

From Kat (I believe this is Kat Finnson -Kat, correct me if I am wrong - (KATFINNSON@aol.com )):

...I'm 47, and an old Ted Neeley fan. Met and saw Ted and Carl after JCS myself - my pictures look just like yours!!!! How 'bout Carl's winter coat, huh? He gave me a bearhug and I almost died in there! LOL

From Shelley Malo (housemouse70@hotmail.com):

I guess I became a Tedhead when I was 13 and saw JCS for the first time.  You didn't see or hear much about Ted in Canada after JCS, so you can imagine my delight when I found out the show was coming to Calgary with both Ted and Carl. I won tickets off the radio for the first show. My sister and sat there with our binoculars watching Ted's every move lol. It was only later that week when my niece told me she had met Carl that i realized people were able to go to the backstage entrance and meet the actors. The only thing left for me to do was buy 2 more tickets and go again lol. My sister thought I was strange but she agreed to go again. The lineup after the show was horrible but I was bound and determined to be there to say hi. Finally after about 2 hours the actors started coming out. Most people had because it was going on to 1 am and it was a Monday morning lol. Carl Anderson was the first out, I watched as he chatted with people and then shyly went up and introduced myself. We chatted for a few minutes and then he left. I went back to the front of the line as there now were only 4 people left, Me, my sister and the security guard and his friend lol. Then i turned around and there he was, I was shell-shocked. I mean here was the man who i had been dreaming about meeting for the last 22 years. He came up and said hello there, and I guess I just stood there with mouth open until my sister nudged me. I told him how great it was to finally meet him and asked if it would be ok to get a pic. He agreed and the picture was taken. Then it was over, he was gone and I was broken-hearted lol. I was the first one at the mall the next day waiting to get the film developed. When the pics were ready i tore into the pack and there it was, normally my pics are terrible but this one turned out perfect. My sister wanted a copy so i got her one not knowing she had an ulterior motive. She went down and got the pic put on a coffee cup for me, now I guess you can say I have coffee everyday with Ted. The feeling you get meeting him is so different. I have never met such a kind, soft spoken, down to earth person in my entire life. My sister always says What's the big deal? I'm still trying to figure that out, but all I know is once you meet the man you never want to stay out of contact with him as i'm sure you and all others well know lol. I was able to see him 3 more times after that first meeting and the last was when I gave him the half of the dollar bill. Wow wouldn't it be something to be able to put the dollar back together again!

AND SOME PICTURES AND STORIES FROM ANOTHER MEMBER OF OUR ITALIAN CONTINGENT: ANTONIO COSTE BARBE:



TRANSLATION:
In the 40th anniversary of the JCS rock phenomenon, Ted Neeley is in Rome performing at the Sistina theater. The town of Novara, in the Piedmont region of North Western Italy, is proud to have contributed to the JCS success in Italy. Back in 1975, precisely on March 10, Antonio Costa Barbé and his group, the “Singoli Steli d'Erba”, were the first ones to represent the JCS rock opera in Italy. The Coccia theater in Novara hosted the event which immediately had a huge, unexpected success. The Coccia theater, an institution in Northern Italy for lyrical music and drama lovers, opened its doors to rock music and young people, who patiently waited in line to be admitted, filled every single available seat. Antonio Costa Barbé born and raised in Novara, was the first Italian singer who played the role of Jesus in Italy! With him, a group of students from this same area were in the cast. After having performed in various theaters, the “Singoli Steli d'Erba” broke up and in 1990 Antonio Costa Barbé and Flavio Guidetti (both part of the former ”Singoli steli d'Erba”) formed a new group: “La Goccia”. Antonio and Flavio were the two singers who, alternatively, interpreted the part of Jesus (in 2014 "La Goccia" group can count on the fresh, amazing voice of the young Daniele Lagrasta as Jesus). In 2006, thanks to the “2006 Passio Project“, Novara hosted again the Jesus Christ Superstar rock opera at the Coccia theater. Antionio Costa Barbé after 31 years, abandoned the role of Jesus to become Pontius Pilate. In these days, Antonio Costa Barbé is heading to Rome. He cannot miss the JCS at the Sistina and hopefully the two “Jesus”,Ted Neeley and Antonio Costa Barbè, will eventually meet.

Per Antonio:
Ted and Tessa had read this, and when I met him in Sistina at the end of the show, HE said to me :"Antonio you are the first italian Jesus and now Pontius Pilate, I have that picture you sent me of you playing Jesus." I was like of criyng for excitement, and I said: "You are a KING!"

History of Jesus Christ Superstar and de Novara INDIVIDUAL STEMS OF GRASS .
May 8, 2012 at 12:35 pm

In 2006 he returned to the Teatro Coccia Novara Jesus Christ Superstar, the musical about the life of Jesus that caused a sensation in the 70's, still among the performers Antonio Costa Barbé: dismettava after 31 years clothes in favor of the messianic role of Pilate. As rock -opera JCS is among those that most have left their mark among young people, with wonderful songs by Tim Rice and music known worldwide for AndrewLloyd Webber (destined for future glories).

Just in Novara, the only city in the whole peninsula, the JCS phenomenon took on a new significance in 1975 and formed a large cultural event in 2006, at a distance of thirty-one, was repeated in the same place where it was presented for the first time, the Coccia Theatre, on the occasion of the "Project Passio 2006."


Indeed, the theatrical performances of the musical (or rather Rock Opera ) have occurred with renewed success up to the present day, the film made in 1973 by director Norman Jewison is a celebrated cult movie. And, as we shall see, the city of Novara aben law can claim to have helped to fuel the legend. For over thirty years JCS has made headlines, captivating millions of listeners and viewers of all ages with its engaging and provocative reinterpretation of the last days of Jesus' life through the most famous gospel episodes and the beauty of some passages as poignant I Do not Know How to Love Him, the desperate Gethsemane, the airy Superstar, the 'maverick' (substantively speaking) Heaven on Their Minds. Without forgetting the peculiar fictionalized, stylized to the extreme perquanto always engaging, it combines in an unprecedented and explosive cocktail visual culture hippies (from the costumes to the yearning to pacifism), modernism (the Roman soldiers in camouflage and with machine guns, tanks and jet in flight), the Christological heresy (the drawing of Jesus grasped in its exclusively human and not divine), provocation (the color of Judah and the denunciation of the "cult of personality" of Christ) and the unbridled kitsch (the court of Herod, effeminate and enjoyable).

Everything comes together to seal unforgettable work even in a country known to be sensitive to the religious and unwilling to variatio dogmatic as Italy (where there was no lack of controversy clerical mold on the film).


Antonio Costa Barbé, then a young singer-songwriter Novara looking for the big launch professional (lawyer, however, said today it has lost none of the old artistic passions), driving forty peers (The Single stems of grass) gets a tremendous success Novara elite par excellence representing the Coccia Theatre on 1 March 1975 just Jesus Christ Superstar. A finding that perhaps no one expected: the rock opera of Rice and Webber had already almost been filed in front of the advancing of disco music; and the temple of prose and poetry," desecrated by the modern rock and a group of guys who, as prepared, were not nobody on the music scene did not seem to be a winning move. But, miracle (it must be said?), The JCS ours is sold out, generating long queues outside the Coccia (there is also a bomb threat), you earn the headlines and the imperishable memory of all those who had the good fortune to attend the "first".

The group, as often happens, it breaks down for various reasons and after some replicas have to wait until 1990 so that a new training young artists, "The Drop", will reclaim Antonio Costa Barbé, meanwhile, became a lawyer, to return to play the role Jesus, alternating with the only other member of the "single Stems of Grass" was, Flavio Guidetti. We have achieved Antonio Costa Barbé in his studio with him and retrace the steps of the extraordinary adventure that sees this famous rock opera as well linked to the city of Novara.


THE INTERVIEW OF 2006

- Lawyer, when it was conquered by Webber and Rice musical?

  "It dates from around 197 , the output of the discoche was then sung by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, "a group then topped the charts. Immediately I liked the songs in the booklet, though in English, they do not chew a lot. first edition was full of energy, perhaps not as perfect as the soundtrack to be dedicated to the movie, but fascinating ...."

I proposed to my group at the time, "I wisps" which also played hard rock in theaters Novara as the auditorium of St. Martin, now Vip Cinema, or bag, to include in the scheduled ten-minute excerpts from JCS but it did not catch on. In 1973, the movie came out, was a great success and it filled the halls even though he eventually fell slightly in oblivion. I remember the first time I saw him, I used a flashlight to check the fidelity of the score that I had brought. The idea to propose to our JCS and my desire to play the role of Jesus came to fruition with a new group, the "Individual Stems of Grass", the core of which came from the world of the speakers, but could boast the presence of guitarists, vocalists, keyboard players. The project could start thanks to charismatic personalities like Henry Agamemnon, Piero Bestagini, Enzio Provvidone."


- How did you start your adventure?

  "We did the tests in the basement of my house, in Corso Torino, which was to accommodate twenty people, in an environment that soon became unhealthy for the high rate of smoking. Available, we had a real piano, a synth, two horns and two trumpets, everyone should be able to do a bit 'of everything, intercambiandoci in the roles, tools and characters. I was very strict in the execution of tests, we prepared in eight months. How we finally got to debut at the Teatro Coccia is a story so intricate that it deserves a separate interview. Eventually, amazingly, we made it. Theater was sold out, many had to wait outside. Success, however, was not that easy to get ..."



- Everyone remembers the lawyer Coast Barbe, as well as in the version of the musician, especially in the role of Jesus Yet, the "first", you could not take the stage...

  "It's true. Did not Jesus nor sang on that memorable evening but today many seem to have forgotten the thing, as if my subsequent interpretations were reflected and implanted in the memory of the audience also aldebutto. I have always suffered from hay fever and that March 10, 1975 I found myself practically voiceless. Three hours before the show I announced to the kids that I could not sing. As expected all hell broke loose, it flew beautiful, I was chased by desperate young people behind the scenes of the theater. But people pressed and filled the room, were moments of nightmare, thought to playback songs for Jesus, we only knew that despite everything 'the show must go on'. Communicated to the public at the end of my unavailability and was Piero Bestagini to play the role of Jesus, I am limiting myself to play the piano (for Gethsemane, however, 'the highlight of the work piece', we sent a wave in my recording made during the tests).

From the beginning it was an apotheosis. Who knows, maybe people had before his eyes the images of the film, which overlapped to our music, which generated a positive collective reaction. Since then rappresentammo JCS at the Sports Palace, Borgomanero in Trecate, Villadossola. Then the group for various reasons, ended up with the melting, the roads parted, each followed his own path. I continued to devote myself to music, participating inter alia in the competition of the Monte Carlo Rally Singing Conrad, landed where clones of singers then in vogue, finally I thought of choosing a professional career as a lawyer. I do not regret and I still mododi follow my passions, though subordinate to the professional."



- But JCS is back knocking on his door...

"Already, in 1989, thanks to Flavio Guidetti, Shakes played Jesus in alternation with me and offered me one Christmas Eve to return to JCS with the group "The Drop." Since 1984 these guys brought in giroclo Entertainment Strength come and people, dedicated to St. Francis, where I participated as well as unusual" presenter". Much thought whether to accept it or not, by now I was expecting a daughter and family, what's more I began to lose my hair and the idea of using a wig I do not pleases. Eventually I accepted Jesus and did some shows in the "Drop", in my opinion the best of my ability, even than at the historical 1975. Romussi A heading was Francis, who has devoted extensive attention to 'construction'. We were in Novara, Verbania and Milan, where we should have had the final consecration but the sound system did not work and was a means disaster. Egocentrically I was disappointed, and I decided that would be the last time."


Never say never, we say. Why at a distance of thirty years ( May 2oo6 ) "The Drop" Jesus Christ Superstar once again in the theater that he saw the amazing debut but could not take advantage of the interpretation of Costa Barbe in the role of Jesus, blocked by fatal tracheitis. Today it is a new opportunity to be able to settle accounts with the past and thus seal the musical adventure that started in way back in 1975, it's up to anchese Flavio Guidetti, in the role of Jesus, to go up to the cross on the great note of the unforgettable Superstar. To send him will be just the lawyer - musician, this time in the role of Pontius Pilate. The Last Temptation of Antonio Costa Barbé, to paraphrase another famous and controversial film about the life of Jesus

"The penultimate temptation," he corrects, smiling lawyer, "Closure career recite JCS for friends hospices and then the role of Jesus ..... maybe I will be back ;-) ."

AND, FINALLY, THIS SET OF PICTURES FROM YET ANOTHER MEMBER OF OUR ITALIAN CONTINGENT: ALESSANDRA TERRENI:





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This GORGEOUS creature is our Australian "Tedhead"  Mark Jabara (Ellison), otherwise known as "Mark From Oz" or "Marky", and who now goes by the name Mark Jabara 
(oz.marky@bigpond.com). 
Mark has graciously helped clean up the appearance of most of the photos on my site, as well as made it much easier to read (per his credit at the bottom of  this page), and has 


 recently been giving us Australian history lessons, along with beautiful pictures of his homeland,  on Ted's e-mail list! 

The most recent pictures, are just below (just below in the suit with the beard) were taken a few months ago at his Mum's wedding. The one above is his current Yahoomessenger photo. The two photos below (the "artistic couple and single modeling shots")  were about 13 years ago now (but he hasn't changed at all IMO, the B&W shot (about 6 years old) was taken for salon advertising, and the sweet one at the bottom is a recent Yahoo Profile picture, the current one is the one with the beard below on the left.
In October, 2016, Marky and his partner, David FINALLY made it to the states and visited me! See top pic below! A little out of focus, but there we are in my living room!

This past May (2017), Mary and his partner David returned to the US, and we visited for a day in Washington DC! See pics 2 and 3 below! Marky has a literal blue beard now!   

Marky is a truly lovely person, and a welcome edition to this list!  






This is me with a good friend Annie, 10 years ago. She is a make-up artist with Warner Brothers, she did the faces and I did the hair. We were very Will and Grace at the time.  I was 30 when this photo was taken.  It was our Movie Star shot.  he he

The picture we have sent you was taken in Madrid on Thursday, July 17th. That evening the Spanish Tedheads met for the first time. We spent a lovely evening talking about almost everything and, of course, about out favorite topic. We were like "old friends". It was amazing. It was like we knew each other for our whole life!!!!

When you have the chance, please tell Mr. Neeley that he is still joining people. We would have never met if he had not done such a wonderful job!

So, have a nice summer.
Cheers.

Helena and Maribel"

TEDHEAD "PROJECTS"

We have quite a lot of talent among our Tedhead family. Below are some beautiful examples of this:


Laura Da Costa sent me a lovely poem on Sunday (9/2), with the request that I forward it to Ted, which I did.  She had such a perfect way of expressing the way Ted has touched our lives, that I asked her if I could post the poem here, and she was very happy to comply with my request.  Enjoy everyone:

  "UNSPOKEN LOVE"
I wonder many times
if you know the countless lives you have touched.......
Every face your eyes have seen,
Every name that has reached your ears.........
The lives you have changed
with the gentle touch of your hand.......
The quiet whispers you have spoken
into the hearts of discovery............
The arm you have wrapped 'round unsuspecting shoulders,
Your embrace that has enveloped a soul...........
The hearts you have touched have been lit from within,
Dark windows inside us are forever closed,
as golden gates swing open into the wondrous unknown.......
Your life, my friend, has accomplished much,
The lives you have touched burn bright because you LIVE.......
                        ********************************
Dear Ted,
This is for you  for all the love and kindness you have shown others.
Thank you from my heart, friend.
With much affection and admiration,
Laura Da Costa

Christine Buerger (mangomaid@yahoo.com) wrote this lovely poem, and gave me permission to post it here for all to enjoy.  The poem was written after she'd seen JCS in Boston years ago:

                        From the Beginning                                                 
I've been enamored of Superstar from the beginning.
I still have my 'brown album' with it's very worn
Libretto.  I haven't needed that libretto in years.
 
But in those days I was living at home in Indiana;
Totally unaware of Broadway.   And movies were a rare
Treat.  So I grew up with that brown album.
 
At the time the movie came out it had a somewhat
Negative impact on me, since I already had my own
Images of what it should look like.   I was uncomfortable.
 
Eventually it grew on me and overtook the strong feelings
I had for the original recording, and my heart was captured
By the humanity and sensitivity of Ted.
 
Any more, when I play the video, I have to stop and freeze it
So I can look into his eyes, or feel his pain.   So many times
I want to go cry on Yvonne Elliman's shoulder.
 
Now that I live in Boston, I've had numerous opportunities to
See the revival of the stage show featuring Ted and Carl.
And I've tried to make the most of them!
 
Several shows are excerpted on audiotape and it gives me
Incredible pleasure to replay those memories and recall the
Actions and nuances involved.   This Jesus is HUMAN.
 
This Jesus has an inspiring voice and an endless well of
Strength and compassion.  From the great joy of Hosanna to
The anguished Why, we are led to an understanding of God.
 
It's still a mystery tho.  The whys of this age are not so
Very different;  most questions still don't have answers.
But if we HAD the answers, we wouldn't need faith!
 
Well, I think we'd need SOMETHING to believe in and trust.
Our own species is too fragile and hurtful.  Maybe this
Reminder of God in Ted is what we need.

This GORGEOUS work of art was hand-painted by our newest "Tedhead" edition from New Zealand, Liz Maw (isabellawallet@yahoo.com).  Liz has allowed me to post her artwork here, and below is her description of some of the very special things in her painting, including using Ted's face:

"I have painted a picture of Ted as Jesus.  It is in oil and is life size. I have spent many months painting it. I hope you like it.....All the trim on the halo and cloak is from the Dutch painter (15th cent?) "Van Eyck's- Ghent altar piece". The heart is a miniature landscape of some of the last remaining virgin forest in the Nth Island NZ. He is a kind of environmental JCS as well! The hands are from a philosopher by the name of "Zizek", (whom I met and asked if I could photograph his hands!) He is from eastern Europe and has a very interesting take on things, (although I find his writings hard to understand!).  I think he is very Jesus like.  He believes we should we should have more tolerance for one another's differences and he is very down to earth and generous with his time, also very charismatic when he gives his lectures and makes everybody laugh! Anyhow, I liked him and found him a very refreshing change in the sad, cynical academic environment. There is nothing about the foot to say! It is just an ordinary foot.... To tell you the truth, when I imagine a picture of JC in my head, Ted's face is the one that comes to mind. I know what the reality is...don't get me wrong, but if there has to be a model for the painting, then I may as well use someone who was an inspiration to me...hence Ted.  As well, I wanted the painting to look partially like an old masters painting, as well as a shinning new pop star image, slightly Hollywood and heavenly royal, and also from old Europe.  I have written a letter to the Bishop and asked him if he wouldn't mind blessing it for me!!! The NZ indigenous people have a saying about "the Manna of objects", which means they believe objects can be imbued with sacred energy. I would like my painting of JC to have that energy...Forgive me, I am an obsessive artist!!!...  Thank you so much for your great feedback about the painting....Ideally I would like to sell it to a church! But if anyone else is interested at all, I would be happy to talk to them. $10,000.00 US.  The painting took me a long time to do (months), and is life-size, using the best quality paint on the market (it is in oils). Also, it will have a large, fine wooden frame!"

Thank you, Cindi..

 FREEVOTE ARCHIVES



Once upon a time there was a website named Freevote. The site is gone now, replaced by a blog, but one of the things that we did as a Tedhead Family between 11/00 and 7/03 was to keep Ted number one on a number of booths on the Freevote website. Susan and Rita even started their own booths, which are posted here. Now Freevote was not without it's share of grief and problems, but it was an accomplishment for us to keep Ted on top for over 3 years, so I am posting this section here, since we did this mostly as a family - albeit a partial one.

***   NEW ***  VOTING BOOTHS FOR TED - MAKE SURE YOU CAST YOUR  VOTES TO THESE:

UPDATE RESPONSE FOR 6/2/04:

As was reported here initially on 10/26/03:

There has been a changing of the guard in "Freevote", as I noted in the section under HOF below. I was told that the site will be redone under a new format.  As of 10/11/03, all of the booths on "Freevote" have totally disappeared. Whether this is permanent or temporary, I do not know. (I can say that if this is permanent, we may finally have some well-earned peace to enjoy.) In the instance that this is temporary, I have decided to keep the standings listed below. So, for the new "Tedheads", and for whomever else has an interest to check in, here are the links for the booths Ted is listed on, and some of the past triumphs which can be enjoyed by anyone who chooses to take a look.

 

It seems that the site now has a totally new theme:  BLOGGING.COM.  There seems to be no sign of Freevote, or any new link for the site (the URL for Blogging.com is www.freevote.com). Dare we believe that is it truly gone for good? Considering the grief we've been put through by some (two in particular) of the Booth Owners' heinous behavior, it's a blessing - to me at least. Should the booths return in the future, I will update this section, but until then, I will leave the links and the final standings here for all to see as a testament/tribute to everyone's efforts on the site - (and, in HOF's case, the final standings as they were online, and as they SHOULD have been officially - we know who really is in the HOF, don't we):
