Hey All,

I hope this issue finds you well wherever you may be. Now that the dust has cleared on the fan club trip to New Jersey, I have to say it was a lot of fun. Seeing so many of you and performing again was a blast. Thanks to all of you who filled out the Pizza Jury song selections up until August. The big favorites were "Older", Gimme Some" and "I Got The Girl." As you were a part of the first batch, I've since written ten more and feel that the album is ready to go. The working title is "Sex Sells" and it rocks_ I hope you'll all be able to hear the next batch even before it comes out as an album.

Also, since I saw you at the party, I've spent some time with the band and each of them are ready to get to work. Richie has completed his solo album promotions and recently appeared on "Regis & Kathie Lee" from Mount Rushmore. The last time we were there we buzzed the mountain in the band's airplane (now that's sightseeing to me_) Dave's finger is almost healed and he thanks those of you who sent cards and letters wishing him well. He's been writing songs for a musical and hopes to see a production come together sometime in '99 or 2000. Tico has been even busier with his art shows. He recently had
a show in New York City at The All-Star Caf้ where he did a series of works, both as paintings and bronze sculptures, of tennis stars. Next, he's off to Scotland to do bronze hands of golf's biggest stars at St. Andrew's, which I hear is a world famous golf club.

As for me_ it's been writing and reading movie offers. Siskel & Ebert named me as one of their top 8 stars to click in '99. So far, so good. Little City, the mystery film we've all waited on, is going directly to video. We're all disappointed but at least you'll get a chance to see it. It's my personal favorite. The only other thing I have to tell you about performance-wise is
that I'll be performing two songs for an Arnold Schwarzenegger tribute in Los Angeles in late October and at the Y-100 Anniversary show in Miami on October 24th. The Arnold tribute will be broadcast on NBC so you'll be able to see it there_ or if you're in South Florida, maybe you'll see a little something (hint_hint).

So, have a great holiday. I hope Santa brings you what or who you need.

See you in '99,

JBJ
