Nigey used to live in LA and used to date Zappa and even wrote a book about it called [[Being Frank - My Time With Frank Zappa]]. Nigey and Candy are very close friends. My band was playing regularly at NY's Bottom Line nightclub, so Candy flew in, did a rehearsal and did a couple shows with us. I love Candy's voice!"

He has played for several Broadway shows, including “The Lion King” and “Aida.” He has played at the JVC Jazz Festival, Sun Valley Jazz Festival, and the Panasonic Jazz Festival; also jazz festivals in Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. He has been to all the continents on our planet except for Antarctica. He once played a jam session with Frank Foster at the former Latvian Prime Minister’s house. In 1986 he had Easter dinner on the South Pacific island of Tonga, as a guest of the prince. Once he was kidnapped in Manila, the Philippines, and he once broke his right foot in Bahia, Brazil. He has toured or played in concert with Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, Toni Braxton, Marvin Hamlisch, Sarah Brightman, and “Blood, Sweat, and Tears.” Some of the more unique vocalists Ted has accompanied on piano are Meryl Streep, Coach Tommy LaSorda, and Michael Anderson (the dancing dwarf from “Twin Peaks”).

STARDUST reached the WILD 2 Comet on January 2, 2004, and has sent one of the microchips with Ted's name on it back to Earth (to return on 1/15/2006), along with the comet samples, while the other microchip will stay on the spacecraft forever and head further into outer space. Ted cites Spider-man, Donald Duck, and Captain James T. Kirk as his major influences.
