Calling all Prospect Place/Court and Sunrise Avenuers!

This is an attempt to connect with people from long, long, ago. Perhaps the connection will last one simple paragraph, never to be heard from again, or reignite to last a lifetime. Who knows. I just think it would be fun to catch up with people that share so many fond memories from childhood and beyond. Some of us already do still keep in touch. While some might be content to keep the past in the past. Either way. Lets see what happens.

Well, I'm a Happy guy...

Hello all,
I'm a Happy guy, no one is shooting at me, or dropping big buildings on my head anymore, and every day above ground is a good day. I just sent off a huge care package to a buddy of mine that I survived 9-11 with, who is in Afghanistan for his second trip at 42 years old. Big Steve is a spec ops operator and really good guy. I look at it this way, I could be living in a tent or sleeping on the ground like they are right now.

In fact, if those of us who still live here are in the mood, come on out to one of my gigs. I'm at Nick Deangelos in Long Beach this Friday, always a blast at that place and it's an early night. 9pm to 12 and we're done... Being a Rock Star is wayyy more fun than kicking doors in for a living...

I'll throw in a few pictures in no particular order just because I can...

Joe, thanks for the service, especially on 9/11.

You should'nt have posted the second picture of "Keith". That first picture of you and him would of sold the story hook, line, and sinker.

Sorry, Steve. Even in the first pic, the guy clearly looks 30 years too young.

Thats Kevin Gleason, the best "Keith" out there. he was featured in a book called "Like a Rolling Stone". We played the book release party at Arlene's Grocery in Manhattan. Kevin was with the Stones Tribute Band "Sticky Fingers" and toured the world impersonating the Stones. And it pays REALLY well... He was invited by Keith to the NY release of "Shine a Light. Very cool stuff. He's also, unlike Keith from what I hear, a really nice guy.

Being a Rock Star doesn't suck at all....
