April 8th 2001

We would like to say thanks to all the nice fans in Tucson, Phoenix and Sacramento where Rosie recently performed. Special mention and thanks to Gents Productions, Armando Duldulao, Bumpy, and DJ Gary Baca radio KPFA, Alan Beck and JD at Pacific Concert Group, Gary Cape in Florida for the Kiva Auditorium Albuquerque NM. Also all the nice people in Pueblo Colorado for that great concert. Special thanks to all the drivers and behind the scene people that keep the schedule going and on time. Looks like Rosie and the Originals will be very busy this summer, which is what we love!

We especially are happy to announce that Art Laboe would like to offer to the public on one of his CD’s Angel Baby in Spanglish plus we rerecorded Confessin’ a Feeling for him (hope he likes it!) and Ace Records in England is putting together a second CD for us of our “Steppin’ Out in Style” CD and previously recorded rare music but never released. Also we are working on a Christmas CD which I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t and we are hoping to complete another CD of Original material because we all write and we all sing lead. Wish us luck!

On another note I would like to acknowledge the passing and celebration of life of Mr. Leroy Sanders who resided in California and worked and recorded with all the greats, most recently Little Caesar and the Romans. Also, my friend Jimmy Hanford best jazz and blues piano player from San Bernardino Ca. They will be so dearly missed and I know they are playing in a much bigger venue now.

Love and Peace!

Rosie
