There was a mention in Guitar World 2 issues ago saying that Nuge was
working with Sam.  What you're saying makes more sense--that Nuge is
touring WITH Sam, but not playing with him.  This sounds more
believeable.  Hell, Sammy's a better guitar player than Ted anyway!
The article was kind of confusing.  It suggested that Nuge was
somehow doing a new solo record, a DY gig, and something with Sammy.

But...Sam's got a new record that had nothing to do with TN, Tommy is
definitely back with Styx..So, by process of elimination, a DY gig is
looking a little bleak, unless they plan on doing it without TS.
JEEZUS, somebody figure this out!

Actually, there has been a version of Night Ranger on the road for a
while, though I haven't heard of them lately.  It was Kelly and Brad
as, I think, a trio!  Dunno what they're doing now.  Say what you
want about the atrocious lyrics [please do!] but Night Ranger had two
amazing guitarists who actually seemed to get along.  And two fine
singers as well.  Too bad their material was lame.  Fitz on the keys
is a treat also...
