*There is an ten year old girl, Gabriella, who will be entering Schneider's Children's Hospital on Tuesday July 10. Gabriella is suffering from a rare blood disorder and has been in and out of the hospital for weeks. On Tuesday, Gabriella will be preparing to receive a bone marrow transplant. Her Sister Allie will be the donor and her Brother Christopher will be a source of support. My thoughts and prayers will be with Gabriella throughout her approximately six weeks of hospital stay. This is one brave girl, who together with her sister Allie and her brother Christopher...she will do just fine. Gabriella's parents Jean and Joe, her aunt and uncle Ziq and Chrissie and her grandparents Anita and Norman have showed in the truest sense. what a family can and should be. These are exceptional people going through an exceptionally hard time. BRAVO, GABRIELLA. What a SPECIAL GIRL. LOVE YOU and Wish you a speedy recovery. A fundraiser is being planned by the Police Motorcycle Clubs, The Untouchables and The Blue Knights along with the NYPD on August 18. The fundraiser will be held at the Tack Room, 4274 Hicksville Road (South of Hempstead T'pke), Bethpage, NY, at around 1 PM. Get there early if you want to see the more than two hundred motorcycles arrive.

*I am sorry to say that my dear, dear friend, Steve Tudanger has passed away. Steve and I collaborated on many different projects, including several of my albums, (along with Steve Feldman). We were also partners in a Jingle Writing Company. That being said, the true talent of Steve Tudanger was his soul. He was small in stature...but a GIANT as a man. His enormous talent (including being a member of the vocal group, "The Four Ever's") spanned decades, but his true legacy will be the way that he touched people he met. Steve was a true friend in every sense of the word. He made us all laugh right up to the end. In all my years in the Music Business I never heard one person say an unkind thing about him. Not one. I (and all of his friends), will MISS HIM, ADORE HIM and LOVE HIM FOREVER. "Goodnight 'Tude'.....Sleep tight" LOVE YOU
