JJ, Alan Thicke, Bob Hewko and Loren Rhoads at the Skylar Neil Golf Tournament...

My Times

Some good news about the album.
Turning Me Inside Out is starting to pick up speed on Canadian radio.
The video is almost ready to send...again...

I'm really loving the Pro Tools Mix Plus system in my studio.
It's getting me very motivated to make music!
It almost feels like it did when our first Fairlight arrived at ESP in 1980...

Here is a good link to a site that's all about Home Recording
They have an article for beginners here

The Performing Artists Media Rights Association collect money in the UK for recorded performances dating back to 1946. They have a list of the 5000 most played recordings between 1996 and 1997 here.

Have you downloaded the mp3 files of Turning Me Inside Out and Too Bloody Much yet?

Many musicians and entertainment personalities came together to raise money for Children's Cancer again this year at Malibu Country Club for the 3rd annual Skylar Neil Golf Tournament, which is held in memory of Vince Neils daughter Skylar.
Our team was in the hunt but we faltered with a flock of Pars on the last few holes.
If Alan had not left us to catch a plane after 9 holes we might have had a chance...

I thought I might help the majority of journalists, who couldn't find a pimple on the end of their noses without a press release from their Dermatologist, by pointing them to some of the very easy to find information about Depleted Uranium usage in US military weapons.
The US Military has an ongoing study of DU's affect on US service men and women through their Depleted UF6 program which has been testing people since the Gulf War.

One of the many weapons that uses DU inside their shells is the Abrams tank.

Depleted Uranium is used widely in missiles and shells helping them to penetrate defensive armour...I thought you should know.

" Many people have asked me angrily why it is that Zaphod Beeblebrox instantly greets Ford as Ford when I had stated quite clearly that he had only changed his name to Ford Prefect when he came to Earth. It was very simple. Just before arriving he registered his new name officially at the Galactic Nomenclaturoid Office, where they had the technology to unpick his old name from the fabric of space/time and thread the new one in its place, so that to all intents and purposes his name had always been and would always be Ford Prefect. I included a footnote explaining this in the first Hitch-Hiker book, but it was cut because it was so dull. ."
