Too bad, I was just at the same conference but it was in Atlanta this year. If given the chance, I'd go in a heartbeat! Get ready for a good time!

My son is in the band and I'm really proud to say they are nominated for a Grammy this year. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the writers settle their strike so the show can go on. Joe, that CD will soon be on the way. Mike
