Hello Everyone!

I hope this message finds you all well! I have lots of exciting things to share with all of you!

For starters, I was recently hired to be on the cover of an impending Mafia novel! I know it's hard to be true! The novel was written by Ed Federico and has already been picked up by an Academy Award winning screenwriter for transition to film. I am thrilled for him and excited to be on the cover of a book for the first time in my life. I personally have read the novel and it is a showstopper. You simply cannot put it down. The photo shoot was a blast; I had to wear a hat and hold a nine millimeter handgun. Talk about life's butch moments.

Secondly, I will be appearing in a brand new film being released this Fall entitled "Red Herring." I play a Transportation Safety Agent at the airport during a critical scene to the plot. Thus, I have been assured by the Director that I will not wind up on the cutting room floor! Being a part of the cast of this movie was an exceptional treat and I am very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the project. The film will star Vincent Pastore from the Sopranos amidst a host of other characters (including Las Vegas' own Mayor Oscar Goodman). The Premiere will be held in Las Vegas in the Fall and if any of you can make it out here, I will get you tickets to the opening night party. What a blast it will be!

Also, as promised (for over a year now), my new CD is finished! I have placed an audio clip of the project on my website which you can hear by selecting the appropriate link from my home page. As I continue to get older, my lungs must be expanding because my "note holding" skills are only improving with age! I hope you enjoy the clip. The CD can be ordered beginning August 1st, 2010 when all post production work is completed. In the interim, I will continue to add new clips so that you can hear the selection of songs I chose to record. I am still performing around town with an upcoming performance taking place at the Four Season's on May 15th, 2010.

Well, I want to thank everyone for being so supportive of me and for continuing to be such wonderful friends via facebook and the website. Hearing from each of you continues to warm my heart and afford for continued smiles and laughs.

Finally, I will be back in NY on July 17th for our (ahem) 25th High School Reunion. Hopefully, I will get the chance to meet with each of you and throw back a few shots and reminisce.

Have a wonderful Spring and stay well. xoxo Johnathan.
