SECTION V: ---------------NOTES!!---------------------

If you have any trouble reading this thing, just go to http://jamogigcentral.blogspot.com/, and it will all be there. Marisa Chiara does that for me, and I really appreciate her help. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi... [PR Team EDIT: ...and buy her a drink, ya lackies!!!]

Come to the Molten Lounge at the Bethlehem Sands Casino and enjoy the classy sounds of GENE BELLETIERE AND THE GENE MACHINE. Gene sings selections from all eras of popular music accompanied by an all-star 8-piece band featuring: Marty Mellinger (keyboard), Tom Kozic (guitar), Paul Rostock (bass), Gary Rissmiller (drums)
Jan Betz (trumpet), Chuck Dressler (trombone), Lou Mazza and Ken Moyer (woodwinds). Every Tuesday night in April 7:00 – 9:00 pm.

CAN’T STOP NOW still needs your votes: Please go http://www.cantstopnow.com/, click on the “Vote” image, then on the “Enter and Vote” image. That’s all it takes to help the band out!!

Hey – Bands take note: if you need a live recording of your band, or if you need a sound system for gigs or parties at venues big or small, give JIM FERRANTE a call. You can even rent a backline for special events. (Drums, PAs, amps, etc.) Jimmy is the owner of Stirling Audio Services, (and a great guitar player too). He has a 32+++ track Mac/Cubase 5 recording setup, and he can get it done for you. Demos, CD’s, whatever. He also has a warehouse full of audio systems ready for you to use anywhere – he’ll rent you a backline, or he’ll set up lights, sound, have a guy there to mix on the fly, and record it too!!! OR, anything in between.
Contact him at 732-417-1001, or jimmy@stirlingaudioservices.com, www.stirlingaudioservices.com. Trust me on this one – he’ll get it done for you whether you’re in a small bar or a huge arena. I use him all the time!!! (Check out the videos from Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.) (Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)

For those of you who are on the left side of the river, Barry Hay is still turning out the listings for live gigs, etc out there. Go to www.hayblue.com to find out anything you could want to know about who/what/where in the Lehigh Valley!
