As far as the pics the second picture with just the gold jacket is nice. It is an action shot which really draws you into that moment. That pics screams energy and excitement.

Thanks for allowing us to "journey with you," in a sense, on what must certainly be a labor of love for you. Like many here at FECC, I am really looking forward to your book. As we enter March in just a few minutes, I suspect the excitement and anticipation is building for you. Thanks.

With 33 pages left to edit, we are nearing the end of a year long journey that I have enjoyed tremendously. I'm glad you like my updates.

I just can't wait to hold a copy in my hands. The excitement and anticipation is building!

Well folks, the final number will be 352 pages (or so). Editing is 99% done and then we are off to the printers next week, fingers crossed.

Any chance that the book could be dedicated to our late friend Claude? That would be a nice tribute to him.

Indeed i miss Claude Baker..... i remember years ago one of his wishes was for FTD to release a soundboard of the opening 6th August 1973 show... (of cource) they may well not have that show to even have that option!~ :?

The 99.9% is now 100%. That's a wrap folks. Now it's time to "hurray up and wait".

I'm thinking this one looks a bit older then the Groucho one.The one from Toronto is 57 so the other one would have to be 57 or later.
