First of all, in the picture of Hey Stella..thats Holly Cole, not me! I might have worn a cowboy had if I had one but I’ve never had black hair! She would sit in with us occasionally and sing some country tunes including “Just Someone I Used to Know” the place would go nuts!
I have many great memories of Ted’s Collision but probably my best is I got MARRIED there! Ceremony and reception. Yup, Ted graciously offered up the bar free of charge for us! And he kept Hey Stella playing there through thick and thin. He was our patron saint! Love, love, love Ted!

I enjoyed many Thursday nights being wowed by Lori, David, Michelle and Bazil playing joyous music. We had immense fun listening to Lori, with one of the most achingly amazing voices, lifting us into revery with Carmelita or Jolene. Living in 3-D: Drinking, drawing in our sketchbooks, and dancing!
Also, Kevin Breit created magical evenings playing unplugged with his rarely seen band FolkAlarm. Empty room or not, the music at Wrecking Bar and Barcode was often transcendent.
