Be the first kid on your block to own one!

I have come across a few people lately that can help you all with your music – one recording studio and one videographer:

The recording studio & rehearsal facility: run by Andrew J. Chervak, it’s called MIDNIGHT STUDIOS, 224 Stockton Street, Phillipsburg, NJ, 08865
He has very reasonable rates, so check him out! Studio: 908-454-2929. Cell: 908-455-1566. www.midnightstudiosnj.com.

The videographer has done work for the Discovery channel, so you know he’s good. His contact info is: SCOTT SALTER; Video Production, Editing and Finishing; scott@ssalter.com www.ssalter.com 908 619 1176.
Gang, I have never come across a more professional finished product. If you’re serious about making your band or event look great, check out the website and give Scott a ring. (Check out the website anyway – you’ll see what I mean.)

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!!!

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!
