      About 10 mins ago Rob and I returned                                 
      from  Tennessee after going to see a Heavy Metal band named FOZZY.                                
    
    
      Now don't get me wrong I am not a Heavy Metal 
      fan at all, but my dear friend Michael Martin has just joined this band
    
    
      and wanted me to see the show.  Well I                                 
      dont think I have had so much fun at a concert.  I did have to wear                                 
      my ear plugs for sure                                
    
    
      but this band were                                 
      outstanding. !!!!   Read all about them here http://www.fozzyrock.com                                  
      Their stage show is just something else, so alive                                
     
    
      with action and power music.  I decided                                 
      to stand at the front of the stage and take photos of this very photogenic                                 
      band, and I am so                                
    
    
      pleased I did.                                 
    
    
       
    
    
    
    
        IF you ever hear the band are playing near you,                                 
      I highly recommend you go see this                                
    
    
      very entertaining band. They sure make you smile.
    
    
      Good Luck guys on your European tour.

              On the 18th of October 2004, Chris 
              Blackwell was awarded the Order of Jamaica for philanthropy and 
              outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry. He, along 
              with Professor Kenneth Hall and Shirley Miller, were presented the 
              medals by the Governor-General Sir Howard Cooke at a ceremony on 
              the lawns of King's House. 
              Friends and family joined him at 
              Strawberry Hill to wish him well. Some were co-recipients like the 
              legendary Ernie Ranglin while others were life-long friends such 
              as Carl Bradshaw. 
              All of us wish him the heartiest                                    
              congratulations.

        Press Release                                        
        October 1, 2004 – For Immediate Release
        
Atlanta, GA – World Talent Records, a leading 
        independent label in GA, today announced the release of Forrest 
        McDonald's new CD Colorblind.
        
About every decade, an artist comes on the horizon that changes the 
        flow for the positive and “Forrest McDonald” is 
        that vessel. Forrest McDonald indisputably sets the 
        course for the next generation of blues-rock musicians. He is powerful, 
        vibrant, unyielding and a testimonial all by himself. Take a ride in the 
        fast lane with his all-star lineup and enjoy 10 red-hot originals and 
        two classic covers on this monumental new release.
        
Forrest McDonald has been renowned as one of the 
        world’s finest guitarists since the early seventies when he first 
        gained prominence with the Wadsworth Mansion and later as a session 
        guitarist in the Muscle Shoals, Alabama recording scene. He can be heard 
        soloing on Bob Segers platinum hit “Old Time Rock & Roll” and 
        may other great recordings. After 7 albums on the WTR label, he has 
        astonished listeners with his remarkable, emotionally powerful playing 
        and writing ability. Now he has launched an adventurous new project with 
        producer Tony Carey culminating in the release of Colorblind his eighth 
        CD.
        
Veteran Producer Tony Carey is well know for his 
        work with many artists such as Rainbow - "Rainbow Rising ", 
        "On Stage" and "Live in Germany", Pat Travers - 
        "Puttin' it straight", Peter Maffay - "Sonne in der Nacht", 
        "Tabaluga und das leuchtende Schweigen", "Lange Schatten" 
        (1988), John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers - "Chicago Line", 
        Joe Cocker - "Now that you're gone", Josep Carreras & Cris 
        Juanico - "Tabaluga Viatja Buscant El Seny" and The Forrest 
        McDonald Band - "Colorblind". Tony will be producing the new 
        John Mayall CD in January 2005.
        
Of their new album, Colorblind, singer Andrew 
        Black says, “This album is a journey. We have created 
        a powerful statement of where the band is right now, the songs are full 
        of energy, tension, contrast and beauty.”

        and lead guitar; Andrew Black 
        on vocals, and guitar; Raymond Victor on vocals, and
