Hello everyone
Just a word to bring you all up to date

Many of you might know that we canceled some shows this past year for some health related issues. These are the first dates in our career that we have had to either cancel outright or, for some of the shows, have to reschedule for the new year. You can always go to our website for up to the minute shows in the future.

Howard and I felt that it was in the the best interest of our fans to try and reschedule rather then to play the shows and not be at full strength. The health issues were never life-threatening but necessary, so with that in the past we move forward scheduling dates as I write this.

We finished up the year performing to more than a million people doing over 50 concerts in the United States. We had a blast doing 22 cities in 31 days with "HippieFest 2007" and look forward to the possibility of doing more dates next year under the title of "HippieFest 2008."
Last year (with Mountain, The Zombies, Felix Cavilere, Joey Mullond, Mitch Ryder and Country Joe McDonald) HippieFest was one of the best tours we have ever been a part of. The members of the tour, which numbered close to 42, was really fun and getting to share fans with all these great acts really brought in so many 60's music fans that supported the show. Thanks!

We are also happy to finally say that the music we made under the names Flo & Eddie is finally available! We are releasing the first two records, "The Phorescent Leech and Eddie" and
"Flo & Eddie," (The 2nd Record) for the first time ever in CD form.

It has been over 33 years since they were out and they can be ordered through our website in a 2 CD in 1 package. Also through our site you can order autographed limited edition versions of the 2 CD in 1 package release of our other 2 albums "Illegal, Immoral and Fattening" and "Moving Targets." It has been a long time coming but the projects are finally out and available.
The re-mastering on all of the CD's sounds amazing and the repackages are done of the original artwork with extra added comments.

And, finally, thanks to all of you for constantly writing in wonderful comments and friend requests to our myspace. We also appreciate your patience when we don't get to check our profile all the time. We DO run this ourselves, so cut a little slack as we've got a lot of other things going on in our lives...so we try to do it all. It just doesn't always work.

Thanks for continuing to support our tours and we look forward to seeing you in the upcoming year!

The Turtles

Great to hear Flo & Eddie is FINALLY coming out on CD- that album is one of the great overlooked pop-rock classics of the 70's, and has been a favorite of mine for a LONG time.

Wishing you guys the best with the health issues.

Thanks to both of you for many years of solid entertainment. Glad to hear about the Flo & Eddie CD's, I have missed them since finding them on LP in Frankfurt Germany in the mid 80's, and wearing out the grooves. All the best, good health, and come back to St Louis!

Not sure who was/is sick but I hope whoever it is gets the aid they need.
Been a long time since I saw The Turtles in Reno and I hope next year we get a tour date at Hot August Nights or anywhere else in Reno

I have to say, I was expecting to see you at NorthFork theatre in Westbury like I always do in October with thanks to our longtime family friend, Joe Stefko, but then I heard Mickey Dolenz was replacing you and I thought you guys just got bumped off the line up or something.

PLEASE reschule there! I go every year!

I hope evryone is feeling better. You guys are the greatest. I saw you both once 12 years ago and was just floored with your vocals and harmonies. It's no wonder when I became a musician, you were at the top of my list as vocal idols. Age has only improved you guys. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see you again. But I don't get to travel much. I also got to meet you both after that show, and was very grateful that you took the time to chat with me for awhile. It's not very often that some one like me can talk with one thier idols.

Oh, but don't you know that I'll be getting the full complement of the aforementioned CDs! Oh, yes, kiddies, but there is more! Garlic Rolls! The knotted king that are saturated with Olive oil from real virgins!

What great news, Mark, that I can finally here the first two albums on CD! They are great underground classics and had a substantial amount of airplay on WABX-FM here in Detroit...back in the old days...the way Joni would have wanted it...Later!

Got it? GET IT!!!

Happy & Safe Holidays

We worked together at the FILLMORE EAST....I'm thrilled that you're still out there doing it... Four of us got back together and were looking to join all of you in the fun, but unfortunatly our bass player passed away and couln't be replaced. Sad too, caused we still kicked butt!
