I just want to announce a couple of events coming up in June
My band MAGNETS! will be playing St Nicks Pub on the 18 and 25. We will be getting original material ready for our first European tour as a band as well as playing standards and some covers for the people. The members are Rob Scheps- sax, Ingrid Jensen -trumpet, Nikita Whie- vocals, Bruce Edwards-guitar and Marcello Pellitteri-drums. On the 18th we will have a different drummer and our vocalist who lives in Chicago will meet us in Europe. This is a big thing for me so I need prayer and support. Take care one and all
Peace
Kim

I was in NYC last week for 3 hours!! Took the red-eye flight from Portland and got picked up in Times Square three hours later by a friend who's moving over to Seattle ... We drove back...
It's been like that since I got here in December, although I did have to go to Switzerland in April on a production job and Reggie Hamilton was on it .....(I'll send you the video I took from the FOH of him playing a Concerto) ...Anyway we talked about you!
I thought this USA thing was going to be an easy gig for me - but so far ...
Thanks for the invite to join by the way - this is a great site!
Bob
thanx for invite... hope everything fine for you :o)

(i just upload some of my lasts songs in my page, ... ok a bit fast: but winter was really cold this year up here in the mountains ;o) ... summer is back ... finally ... with 3 month late ... definitivly time to stop to destroy our mother Gaia !!!
anyway all my best :o))))))

Glad you enjoyed it. This is a second public service that will coincide with FrankieFest95 weeklong celebration of free and low-cost events in NYC,
May 21 - 25th! Check out the bands at: http://www.frankie95.com/bands.php
Do you still have any other contacts in Detroit? I have been out-of-touch with all of the mutual friends that we had.
Bill
