Thanks again to all who attended STARRY NIGHT IN THE GARDEN

Let me again thank all who attended what was a "magical" night at
Wednesday's STARRY NIGHT IN THE GARDEN! Thanks also to our music
acts, SCOTT CELANI BAND, upcoming Superstar JON McLAUGHLIN, and
KEVIN & DAVE from REO SPEEDWAGON who may have actually enjoyed the
event more than you, the fans! We'll have pictures of the event our our website, and
a final tally of money raised to benefit the beautiful Buffalo and Erie County Botanical
Gardens...see you next year!

For JOURNEY/Steve Perry fans

You've undoubtedly heard about Journey's DON'T STOP BELIVIN' being featured
in The Sopranos series finale but did you know that ex-lead singer STEVE PERRY
wouldn't allow producers to use the song unless they told him the ending before the
show aired! Well the Producers did trust him and told Steve (and he DID keep the
secret).

In other Journey news, the band has announced they've parted ways with lead singer
JEFF SCOTT SOTO who'd been filling in for STEVE AUGERI (who had to leave last year due to illness). NEAL SCHON said about Jeff's leaving "We've just decided to go our separate ways
(no pun intended). We're plotting our next move now!" The Band also announced they'll be
taking the rest of 2007 OFF (but are planning now for 2008). 2008 is the 30th anniversary
of STEVE PERRY originally joining the Band, wouldn't it be cool if they put aside their
differences and had STEVE re-join JOURNEY for next year (just a thought).

Congrats to THE DUCKS!

Hockey is OVER for another year, and a big CONGRATS to The Anaheim Ducks on their
Stanley Cup Victory (especially to Todd Marchant, Brad MAY DAY May, and Ryan's
brother Derek Miller who get their names engraved on the CUP)!

The BEST part of the series for me though was not the Hockey but the ANTHEM'S sung by ALANIS MORISSETTE at her "home rink" in OTTAWA at Monday night's game. Not only did she sing the CANADIAN Anthem in English and FRANCAIS but a great job on the US anthem too. I think she is the COOLEST rocker there is.
