Folks,
Rock Rock Rockkkkinnnnnn.....Chicago concert was the best among the recent US
& Canada Concerts. I'm sure AR will rock Toronto today. I had an awesome time
at the event a few hours ago. Met with AR and all the performers and conveyed
our group's best wishes. The arena was packed ....FULL HOUSE. We had
considerable crowd from neighboring states. I'm glad that I was able to fuel
some ticket sales from Michigan.
