Steve Perry has recorded a new message (via Steve Perry Info Network 415-597-6633). Below is the entire recording, transcribed by Anthony Coyan.

"Hi, this is Steve and here I am and there you are and here we go. Um, we're recording the new record right now, and as I've said before, there still is a potential that it's gonna stay on the shelf and in our little secret spot. And then we'll decide what we do with that later. So the first thing that still may happen is we still may just go straight out on tour. Um, I'm not at liberty to discuss some of the reasons why, but it has to do with a lot of political things and um, we're moving forward as fast as we can and we're lookin' forward to getting out there and playing some shows, 'cause it's been a long time since Journey has toured. So we've talked about that and we're continuing to talk about that and we're chippin' away at this record too - we're almost done with that. As soon as I get more news about the potential that things have changed, I'll definitely let ya know. Until then, there it is, there you are, and we'll speak soon. Bye."

Steve Perry makes a guest appearance on Jason Becker's newest album "Perspective," released last week. Steve sings background vocals on the first song "Primal." Some early remarks say his voice is not really audible over the rest of the music and it's not worth purchasing the CD just to hear his voice.

Congratulations to Jonathan & Liz Cain who had twins on April 18, 1996. They had a girl named Liza Alexandria and a boy named Weston Jon.

The Railbirds (with Mugs Cain) recently released their first album, although at present time it is only available in Europe. Intersound Music hopes to release the CD to North American audiences in late August. The Railbirds now have their own official website with a link to their fan club Inside Track. Last of all, Jonathan contributes to two songs "Drown in your Ocean" and "American Dreamer."
