Hey Guys!

Frank and I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who hung out for our show....some of you like Al and Becky, had been there ALL day from 2pm on and I know it was such a long day for you. It was such a joy to catch up with some of you who we haven't seen for awhile...Andy, Dan...Rich Garland and Betty.

We are so appreciative that so many of you stayed for our portion of the show. Bob Lever, we cannot thank you enough for your tireless efforts in promoting and creating this show for all of the talented artists involved. Winston...I know you're not on the BBs here, but Bob, please thank Winston again for being such a great soundman and working his butt off all day long to make not only us, but everyone sound great. To the staff of Java Junction, thank you too for being there for us and the patrons of the club.

To all of the artists involved, Barn, Freemont John, Jeff, Jak, The Burners, Sheila and Chris, JoDell, Bob, Jesse and Noah...thank you for sharing your music with us. You are ALL so talented and we know your music comes from the heart which makes it all the more special. I wish that we had been able to be there for more of the shows, but we had too much to do before we played including a dinner meeting.

Our portion of the show came off very well and most of all, it was a lot of fun. I'm sure many of you are dying to know how Chris reacted to it.

As it stands now, we had breakfast with him this morning. Chris really loved the show and thought it ROCKED. He is 100% behind us and we are 100% behind him. This guy is such a gentleman, a knowledgeable businessman and a person who will tell you exactly what he can and cannot do. He will also honestly tell you what you have going for you and what needs work if anything. To sum it up: he is a pleasure to be around personally and professionally in every respect. As for his professional opinion: He feels we are almost completely there on image, sound, songs everything....just a little fine tuning and we're ready to showcase for some labels! This will likely occur in January according to his and our current plans. More details will come when we speak with him more on Tuesday and we'll let you guys know as the story unfolds.

By the way, Chris will be down here again October 5th for another NSAI workshop in Tampa at the library on Interbay Blvd. Please come if you can!! We will be there.

Anyway, much love and many thanks to all of you in the JPF group and to our band, Rockin Rudy, Dave, Dammit Jim, Jim Terry and Elan Chalford -- without all of whom, this rocking showcase would not have been possible. As I said on stage last night...all artists and touring musicians have a very dedicated and hardworking team of friends, family, fans, technical people and musicians and each and every one is pivotal to their success.
We are so lucky to be here with a wonderful group of people in Tampa Bay networking and sharing art and music together.

We are always successful and EVERY SINGLE ONE of us are shining stars -- as long as we have eachother. Our heartfelt thanks again and much love. [Linked Image]
