From David Fishof:

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back Kip Winger who will be acting as head counselor at the Hollywood camp. Kip was recently presented with an honorary plaque and a historic US flag for his song "Blue Suede Shoes" honoring the services and sacrifices of the US armed forces. The song appeared on Winger IV.

I just wanted to pop in here and share this news! How cool that Kip is Head Counselor and got props for his award. That ROCKS!!

I think Kip should have become a music instructor. He seems to be having a ball with this. Guess "Head Counselor" is a promotion from "Music Director"?

This is great!

Props to Kip! The honors just keep rolling in. He's very deserving and I know that he's going to kick butt. Woohoo!

UPDATE from RFC's David Fishof: March 9, 2009

Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is extremely honored to present the legendary Steven Tyler as its headliner at the upcoming Hollywood camp - running April 29th through May 3rd. Steven's appearance is bound to blow the roof off the rehearsal studios! Whether campers are accomplished musicians or have only ever played air guitar, each band will learn from our rock star counselors (including Grammy Award winning producer MARK HUDSON) how to rock out to some of the biggest hits of all time - songs like "LIVIN on the EDGE, "Walk This Way," "Dream On," "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," "Love in an Elevator," "Janie's Got a Gun," "Cryin'" and "Jaded."

Tyler, lead singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist for the Grammy-winning, Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, which has sold over 100 million albums in the U.S. in a career spanning four decades, will bring his own inimitable style to the proceedings. I am thrilled to welcome Steven to Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp and to give our campers this opportunity!

I hope that you will join us in Hollywood April 29 through May 3 to participate in Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp. We're selling spots quickly, and I have no doubt that with Steven Tyler on board we will sell out quickly.

This session's all-star roster of musicians also includes Todd Rundgren, Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Steve Lukather (Toto), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Mark Hudson (producer/songwriter), Alan White (Yes), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge), Bruce Kulick (KISS) and head counselor Kip Winger (Winger).

Thanks Chessie! So cool to see the videos from this. When I saw RFC in Orlando, they were awesome and looked like they were having a great time together.

Deeandra

Thanks for the vids, Chessie. It's strange to see Kip singing backup for someone else!

Thanks Chessie! Love seeing anything in which Kip performs - I just get mesmerized. Love the song they played with that older guy on guitar with the long hair! It's one of my favorite classics, but the name of it escapes me right now.

Linda in Buffalo

Fun vids! Thanks Chess!
