The following was in a New York Post article found in Sunday's paper (January 4th). "Liner Notes would like to forewarn Journey fans that it maybe awhile before makeup dates are announced for the bands post-poned "Trial by Fire" tour. Whipers out of the Bay Area suggest that lead singer Steve Perry called off the dates due to arthritis. The rest of the group's members have embraced a show-must-go-on spirit, beseeching Perry that he could scale down his theatrics, but the singer his having none of it. According to my sources, the remaining Journey-men may seek out a replacement for touring purposes."

I have heard a few rumors saying that Journey is in the process of mixing an album containing live tracks from their Escape and Frontiers tours. The CD could be released as early as March 24th. Thanks to Jeffrey Fletcher, Jeff Hacker, and Randy. Happy 52nd birthday Aynsley Dunbar (January 10). Speaking of Aynsley. He is now playing with Eric Burdon's (The Animals) I-Band. Thanks to Jim Erickson for the link.

Jonathan Cain's upcoming CD, For A Lifetime is scheduled for release by Higher Octave Music on February 24, 1998. It consists of romantic wedding type songs with an instrumental version of Open Arms. Last Tuesday, Santana (including Gregg Rolie) was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the ceremonies the band played Black Magic Woman. Sadly, Neal was not one of the inductees and did not attend the events. Thanks to Suzanne.
