Hi-D-Ho Folks,

Am finally getting off the road for a spell...er, well in May anyway. Next week I'm at the Donald's Trump Plaza Casino in Atlantic City from April 16-18. They're calling the show "Rock and Roll will Never Die" but yeah, it's my Winter Dance Party show. 4 shows to choose from. I've also got a nice summer schedule ahead for you including a first time casino appearance at Prairie's Edge in Granite Falls, MN and our symphony show with the Columbus, Ohio, Symphony on July 17th! Additionally, those of you that are always inquiring when am I ever coming to the east coast I have quite a few great shows coming up in August at some very cool venues: The Belleayre Mountain Resort in Highmount, NY on August 21, the Chautauqua Institute in Jamestown, NY on Aug 26th and for Great Neck, NY residents only a free outdoor park show at Stepping Stone Park on Aug 29th. For all show details head to our calendar page.

Gary W. Moore, the talented author of "Playing with the Enemy," is currently writing a book entitled, "Hey Buddy: In Pursuit of Buddy Holly, My Buddy John and My Lost Decade of Music." He is looking for stories about how Buddy's music, life and death may have impacted you. He is also looking for your thoughts on how my work with the WDP, in tribute to Buddy, may also have impacted you. Do you have a story you would like to share for possible inclusion in his book? Do you have any thoughts on my song "Hey, Buddy?" Gary would love to hear from you. You can write him at Gary@garywmoore.com. Regardless of whether you want to contact him or not, I highly recommend his book "Playing with the Enemy." It is to be made into a major motion picture and is a great true American story about his own father getting drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers at the ripe age of only 15 and then getting sidelined by a call from Uncle Sam to help serve in WW2. It's a great read. Check it out at http://www.playingwiththenemy.com.

That's about it for now. Thanks much as always for your tremendous support and turnout. Stay cool in the shade, lemonade's only 25 cents on my block!

Your Buddy,

John
