Fremont John's Key Word

GREETINGS and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I just got an exciting e-mail from my friend, Edgar Struble. It states:
"Hi friends -
Another year has flown by, and I'd like to invite you to watch the American Music Awards this Sunday on ABC (8:00 PM). Theme music, bumpers, etc., by me with help from the usual gang: Phil X, Kerry Marx, Brian Burwell, Matt Nelson, Luke Rangel, and Doug Messenger at Hard Drive Studios.
This year marks the first time the AMAs have used a new theme in 30 years! Let's hope they use this one for the next 30 :)
Blessings,
Edgar"
Edgar and I were friends back in high school and used to jam together. We have many mutual friends back home. He was a couple of years ahead of me and went to MSU for his music degree. Unlike Yours Truly, Edgar went directly into a full time music career and didn't get distracted by things like banking, etc. He moved to Nashville where he became the music director for Kenny Rogers. He toured and worked with Kenny for 13 years. After the Kenny Rogers stint, he moved to L.A. to write music scores for T.V. and film. He has been the music director for the American Music Awards for a few years now. He has also directed the music of the Country Music Awards and World Music Awards as well.
Everyone from Ludington is very proud of Edgar and his wonderful music career. I hope you will all tune in tonight to the American Music Awards on ABC at 8:00 PM.
Edgar also mentions Brian Burwell. Brian is also from my small hometown of Ludington, MI. Brian is world-class drummer. He used to travel around for Peavey Music doing drum clinics, demonstrating the Peavey drums……….which had a very unique design created by yet another fellow from our local area. Anyway, Brian ended up moving to L.A. and hooking up with Edgar. It's great to see all this!
COME SEE ME: WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM! I am back at the Lock and Key, Englewood FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, I'm at Lonjevity and on Saturday I'm back Cha-Cha Coconuts at 8:00 PM. CLICK FOR SCHEDULE:
NEW YEAR'S EVE: I WILL NOT BE PLAYING THIS NYE. But, I will be back at the Bull in Key West on the Friday and Saturday after ward, January 2 and 3. We will also be at Dante's the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 3.

Thank you very much for supporting my music and my dream. Without you it's both, meaningless and impossible.
All the best to you and yours,
Fremont John
