SECTION 5:------------------------- 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…

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!!! (Come to Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.) (Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)
