IIRC Someone shows up every year at Rudolph Valentino’s grave.

I haven’t seen any APP in the used bins (or new) in years, years I tell you. I think the members of Ambrosia were among the musicians who played on “Tales of Mystery and Imagination” (the first one).
"...a ring of homosexual necrophiliacs in the Los Angeles area..."
Yeah IIRC he was their producer for their first two records. He is a legend in that category by working with the The Beatles, The Hollies, Ambrosia, Pink Floyd, Al Stewart etc. I think the last thing he did music wise is back in 2004 “A Valid Truth”. If he has put out something else I have not seen it. I have seen ads for them on tour so I know he is still out there.
The latest CD by Alan Parsons was A Valid Path, released in 2004 and he has been producing CDs under his own name sense the break-up of the Project in 1988 when he and Eric Wolfson parted ways.

Alan tours worldwide and I got to see him two years ago in St Louis, MO. He will be back there this September and I will see him again.
Excellent.
Edgar Allan Poe at 200

Wait...
Can't you hear that faint scratching? That hideous beating?
The Poe thread! It's Not Dead!!!
Just an update and ping to this 2004 topic.
A note left for Jeff Jerome in 1993 stated somewhat cryptically that “the torch will be passed,” and another note left in 1999 indicated that the original “Toaster” had died within a few months before the annual event. After 1993, sightings of the visitor suggested two younger persons were exchanging the obligation between themselves, presumably in honor of their father. The annual visitations continued through 2009, the bicentennial of Poe’s birth, but not in subsequent years. On January 19, 2012, after three successive years in which there was no appearance from the “Toaster,” Jeff Jerome officially declared that the original tradition had ended. Various individuals have taken it upon themselves to leave similar tokens, and some have hoped that they might be able to assume the same recognition and continue the tradition, although they have generally been referred to somewhat dismissively as “Faux Toasters.” As there is no authoritative body other than the person who appears to have originated the tradition, and those he has designated, and no such transfer of authority has occurred, all such attempts to restart a new tradition must be taken purely on their own merits.

Curious as to why you pinged us to this very old thread.
Once every five years he visits this thread, dressed in black and wearing a fedora, and leaves a half-finished bottle of commentary behind!
LOL!
January is comin’ up fast.
Heh heh!
Yes, it is...too fast.
But do you have reason to believe that the Toaster will make an appearance in 2018?
