To say that Savatage is my favorite band is a vast understatement. My first concert was Avatar (what Savatage was called before Savatage) opening up for Billy Thorpe, I think back in 1981. I was not really paying attention, to be honest, untill Avatar started playing an OzzY song, Then I starting wondering "Who the hell was this ??" I've been hooked ever since! This page is dedicated to them, and in memory of Criss Oliva. RIP
 

On April 3rd 2002 I participated in a memorial ceremony for Criss Oliva organized by Kathy Tijou "Balloons to Heaven" Here are some pictures form that day. Also attending were Jason, and Bill and Lonna.
