December 26th on CBS.

release One Step Up/Two Steps Back will perform together at Beacon Theatre in New

Diana tribute double CD which is set for release on December 1. Apart from Bruce the

Bruce did not turn up at Tradewinds or anywhere else last weekend (at
least not publicly). In return, there are now rumors of him planning more solo acoustic shows
this fall at American college auditoriums. If it's true, certainly no one can accuse him of
commercialism, touring for an album which hasn't been near a chart for 18 months and for an
audience who will now no doubt mostly consist of ... Read more

Grushecky/Nils Lofgren show at Tradewinds on August 15th. Also quite likely is an

perform with Joe D'Urso. Whether there's more to it than the fact that it would be natural for
Bruce to attend these gigs, is not known by us. ... Read more

| Deborah Brooks commenting on : I enjoyed it overall, but kind felt bogged down in the manager, contract, this producer, that producer, this person was the technician, etc... I guess I wanted a bit more about being a father/husband...not PERSONAL..I know he keeps his life private and he SHOULD, but I know he is said to be an exceptional father and so many rockers DON"T pull that off. |
| Karsten, Greasy Lake commenting on : Good question. You'll just have to make a guess. But if I may give you a hint, Marc Dolan is on par with the general public opinion, although he takes it a step further than probably most fans would. |
| Mimi Griswold commenting on : Um, if we're trying to win the book... you can pretty much assume we have not read it yet.. so how could we lnow the correct answer? |
