Stories indicate that this will not be an E Street Band album and Bruce may be working with other musicians, including the phenomenal Steve Jordan, who played drums on and produced Patti Scialfa’s 23rd Street Lullaby album, my runaway choice as album of the year for 2004.
Jim and Dr. Jeff – Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Milwaukee?
I may offer a $1,000 discount on my speaking and seminar fees to organizations that have me speak on concert dates and provide me with good tickets to shows.
Good news indeed.
