Tonight I acheived one of my goals of reaching out to the masses to talk about all the Charity work my friends and I do for so many less fortunate people.
The show was recorded by a Master Audio Visual Company, with four cameras and a seperate sound mixing board, dedicated just for the Video Shoot.
(Very Nice!)
The band was very good tonight and I'm very blessed to have such wonderful musicians to share the stage with.
I must say that I was a little aprehensive about opening for a semi heavy metal band, but after I walked out on the stage and started the first song, "Daddy", with just my acoustical guitar, all my inhibitions vanished.
The crowd was moving with me in the direction that my music was taking them, just like a magnet, drawing them in slowly.
 On the second song, "Take me Away", I was accompanied by my Keyboardist, Tony Ruda. Nearing the end of the song as we were starting to flow into the last Chorus, the Drummer, (Darrell), and Bassist, (Joey Bass), joined in to rock the house out a little. Now that was very cool as the crowd erupted at the end of the song. As we moved onto the third and fourth songs, the audience got more involved and when I mentioned all the Charity work that we do, it brought the house to it's feet.
Very Humbling!
We ended the set with two new songs that will be on the new CD, entitled, "Castaway", and "I Wanna Sing". It was like Magic! It's been a long time since I've had such a wonderful summer of playing concerts at all these wonderful shows, with all these wonderful Headliners, for all these wonderful people.
And you know what the best thing is?
I sold a ton of CD's at each and every show.
The Palace Entertainment Executives tonight, even donated their portion of the profit from the CD sales, back to me, for the Charities, so it was a win, win for everyone.

Being onstage at such a Huge Venue, with such a Massive Audience, and such a Powerful Audio System, brought back  a lot of wonderful memories of how fun it was back in the day and how fun it  is to do something to help others.
I'm so very blessed to be able to play my music in front of so many wonderful people and talk about why I'm doing it this time.
I still have the same goal that I started out with at the beginning of all this new recording and playing stuff and I'm trying to sell a million CD's to raise $5,000,000.00, to help a lot more people. Nothing is gauranteed, but with a little luck and a lot of help from a lot of wonderful people, It will happen!
I hope my travels bring me to your town sometime in the future, so that we can share some moments together in person and  make some memories for our photo albums. ;-)
