Curiosity is what tickles me, so why call it that?
Mr. Flom then had a brainstorm: He asked Mr. O’Neill to take the Savatage song and build a Christmas album around it. Mr. O’Neill had already been considering a rock opera about a young girl reuniting with her family on Christmas Eve thanks to a stranger’s generosity. He and Mr. Flom signed a multialbum deal in January 1996, giving the project a different name but using Savatage’s musicians. Mr. O’Neill called the act “Trans-Siberian Orchestra,” after the railroad in Siberia, a symbol of hope in a harsh, unforgiving place, he says.

For a few years they came to Reno yearly. They put on a fantastic show and I don’t know why they quit coming as they go to smaller markets than here.
