Thank you. I am humbled...seriously. There will be a lot of TV sets in one
of the bar areas. It's a huge venue, right on the Delaware River, next to
the Trenton Thunder minor league stadium, a NY Yankees affiliate. If anyone
should come down...please come see me...you will be able to find me there
for sure. It is worth the trip just to see Miss Bouchelle...and she will be
doing one of her new songs, "NAKED".....:-) She is the real deal too, plus,
she loves football.
If I could just listen to and play music and watch football I'd be a very
happy guy.

Lisa is an Eagles fan. The girl in my band, Alexis, is a Giants fan. Jean
of course, is a Jets fan....it was actually her cousin who got us our season
tickets many, many years ago. As far as sports go....one of the kids who we
will have helping us is a nine year old who has had two kidney transplants.
The first one from his mother when he was two years old. The last from a
deceased donor two years ago. He just won the honors of junior male athlete
of the games at The NKF National Transplant Games in Madison Wisconsin. He
has had more surgeries and hospitalizations than me I think. He never
quits, and is beyond tough. His only disappointment is he can't play
football or hockey, so he focuses on basketball and baseball. I've seen
what real toughness is these last six years and believe me, it makes the NFL
versions pale in comparison. Burf...there will be a Jets contingent, you,
me, Jean and the rest of my family. I promise the music will blow anybody
away.....anyone who attends will be amazed....lots of top guys from some
very impressive bands all coming together for 7 hours on two stages.

A long time ago I had a football coach I really liked...he told me all I
ever had to do was show up and play the best I could. That's all it is ever
about.

My son is thrilled that I've help create a little diva....she knows she can
pretty much get whatever she wants from "Papa"....and she just takes to
getting on stage with Lisa naturally. When she was four years old we took
her to see Lisa at a coffee house gig...at one point she just decided to
walk up on stage to be with Lisa. Lisa went with it, accepted her onto the
stage and gave her a shaker to play with. That was it. She's been on TV
with Lisa and done a lot of show appearances that are appropriate for her to
be at. Lisa is great with her too and comes to the house just to spend time
with her. Life is good with all the good people we meet...and you are one
of those folks. I wish we could do a Jam near the Meadowlands and have all
the Jets gang from the group there :-)
