Happy New Year everyone!

Lots happening with 'Rock of Ages'.  The show closed off-Broadway 1/4 to begin it's move to Broadway (previews begin 3/20).  You can read about it here http://www.playbill.com/news/article/124461.html.  There is also a movie deal with New Line Cinema that you can read about here http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117997084.html?categoryid=13&cs=1.

Night Ranger will be heating up again soon, but in the meantime, keep an eye out for the band on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.  There are even a few shots of yours truly at the end of the segment.

I recently had the opportunity to play a couple of shows with Jim Peterik's World Stage.  The guest artists this year were: Jimi Jamison (Survivor), Don Barnes (38 Special), Rik Emmett (Triumph), David Pack (Ambrosia), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Nick Colionne and Lisa McLowry.  An honor play with them all and the incredible band as well.

I also had a fun show with my buddies The Turtles recently.

Hey, I want to mention a few products that I am now endorsing.  

FIrst off check out InTune Guitar Picks at www.intunegp.com!    

Secondly, check out Mono Cases at www.monocase.com!

Last, but not least..Check out the G7 capo at www.g7th.com!

There is a new addition to the guitar family as well.  Big shout out to Robin and Bob at Taylor Guitars for the smokin 614ce in black!  Look for it on tour this year with Night Ranger!

'til next time....

Awesome to see you keeping busy, Joel! Miss your sublime shredding here in NYC but I've got some terrific CDs here to keep me smiling...(PLUG PLUG PLUG: Joel's CDs are available for purchase on CDBABY. com!!!!).


FYI, they're moving up the first preview from the 20th to the 17th! :)

Hugs and kisses to you and the Mrs.

Funny, but while reading this and watching Wheel of Fortune on the boob tube (although they don't have tubes anymore)....they just gave away a trip to NYC and tickets to Rock of Ages!!!!!!

Hope I get to see you somewhere this summer....it's been a while..........

Joel,

Sounds like life is not only good, but exciting and fun.
Keep up the good stuff!

I'm about to enter a group of writings into a Poet Laureate competition. Stop by my blog and tell me which ones you like.

Say Joel, when are you going to try on my hat and dance around in it again? That was so much fun!
You're hotter than Tabasco Sauce!

Love and Peace,
Marijane
