On week after Chuck and JY appeared on WTTW to help with the semi-annual pledge drive during the television premier of the video Return To Paradise, Chuck Todd, and Tommy made an encore appearance during back-to-back showings of the video. This time, the station asked for Styx fans to man the phones for the pledge drive, and people came from far and wide for a chance to help a good cause and to meet three of their favorite musicians up close and personal. Styx played a few unplugged numbers live on the air during pledge breaks, including Fooling Yourself, a live bluesy instrumental version of Blue Collar Man, and On My Way (with everyone singing along). The volunteers were treated to addtional warmup numbers, including the same bluesy version of Blue Collar Man with the lyrics, and an extended instrumental jam session.
I've only got one picture here because I ran out of space on my site and had to make room for more Styx lyrics and interpretations. Sorry. Check out the other sites at the bottom of the page for more pictures.
