Very rare day where SFO was landing and departing from the 10s in very clear weather on a cold windy New Years Eve in 2007. TED was a low-fare A320 operation launched by United, it wasn't around long after this photo was taken. This one was most likely coming in from Vegas or Phoenix.

I know a lot of people have fallen for this old gentleman. Ted is another survivor of the distemper virus.

German singer and film actor Ted Herold (1942) was billed as The German Elvis in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With his Rock ‘n Roll covers, he appeared in several Schlagerfilms between 1959 and 1963. In 1977 he made a surprise come-back.
Ted Herold was born as Harald Walter Bernhard Schubring in Berlin-Schöneberg; in 1942. He was the son of a plasterer. In 1951 his family moved to Bad Homburg. As a boy already had a passion for music, especially for US Rock 'n' Roll songs by Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, and most of all Elvis Presley. At the age of 14, he had gotten his first guitar as a Christmas present. At school, he started to play these songs. In 1958 a girlfriend from school mediated a contract for him with the record company Polydor. That same year followed his first single with two cover versions of Elvis hits, Ich brauch' keinen Ring (Want you to wear my ring around your neck) and Lover Doll. His producer Bert Kaempfert came up with the pseudonym Ted Herold. After his first success, he moved on to top producer Gerhard Mendelson, who already managed the career of teen idol Peter Kraus. While Kraus got more success with milder songs, Herold was build up as the new ‘German Elvis’. Till 1960 Herold sang mainly German covers of Presley hits. With a line from his song Ich bin ein Mann (I am a man), the then 17-year-old singer caused a sensation in prudish postwar-Germany. The German radio refused to play the song.
Ted Herold broadened his song repertoire in 1960 with more mild titles, just like his role model Elvis. Among his hits were covers like Ich bin ein Wanderer (The Wanderer) and Da Doo Ron Ron. The ballad Moonlight became with 500,000 sold singles his biggest hit and climbed to #1 in the hit parade. Herold, who still had the image of a rebel rocker, did not get any engagements from the conservative German television till the mid-1960s. But between 1959 and 1963 he was often seen in several musical films. He made his film debut in the musical comedy La Paloma (Paul Martin, 1959) with Bibi Johns and Karlheinz Böhm. He sang the song, Texas Baby. That same year followed Immer die Mädchen/Always the Girls (Fritz Remond, 1959) in which he sang Hula-Rock, and Mein Schatz, komm mit ans blaue Meer/My Darling, Come to the Blue Sea (Rudolf Schündler, 1959) with Gus Backus, in which Ted sang Küss mich. The success of Schlagerparade (Franz Marischka, 1960) with Herold, Vivi Bach, Rex Gildo, and many other Schlager stars led to sequels as Schlagerparade 1961 (Franz Marischka, 1961) and Schlagerrevue 1962 (Thomas Engel, 1961). Other films of the same genre include Davon träumen alle Mädchen/That’s What All The Girls Dream About (Thomas Engel, 1961) with Marion Michael, Drei Liebesbriefe aus Tirol/Three Love Letters from Tyrol (1962, Werner Jacobs) with Ann Smyrner, and Sing, aber spiel nicht mit mir/Sing,But Don’t Play With Me (Kurt Nachmann, 1963). In 1963 military service interrupted his career. His following singles had less success than before, also because of the upcoming beat wave. He started a study to become a radio and tv technician and married in 1965 Karin Höhler. In 1966 he recorded his last single with Polydor and then retired to run a radio and television repair service.
In 1977 Ted Herold became a surprising offer from German rock singer Udo Lindenberg to cooperate on a title of his LP Panische Nächte, and to join him on a tour through Germany. Ted got a new record deal with Teldec and started to produce new titles, including Rockabilly-Willi, Bill Haley, Die Besten sterben jung and Rock'n'Roll For President. He sang them with his old classics during many gigs at the height of the Rock 'n' Roll revival. He was the guest of many TV shows and appeared as a rock singer in the German-American coproduction Judgment in Berlin (Leo Penn, 1988) starring Martin Sheen. Ted Herold married in 2002 his longtime companion Manuela. In 2005 he had a new hit with 1958 - wir waren dabei (1958 – we were there). He made guest appearances in the tv series Die Kommissarin (2000) and Lindenstraße (2007). Last year his 26th album was presented, Jukebox Jeans Rock'n'Roll. Fifty years earlier, when Elvis Presley was posted in Germany by the U.S. Army, the German Elvis had met the original once in the streets of Bad Homburg. Herold had talked to his big idol for some moments and had given him some of his own records.

The Five Bear Rugs began playing music together when they were in first grade. Fifteen years later they were still playing—in fourth grade! Ted part in the band is blowing the white lightning jug and sometimes playing a washboard, with the handle of a hoe. Ted, along with the rest of the Five Bear Rugs, appear daily at the Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom.
