Thank you all for the birthday messages on my website and facebook page.  I am very grateful for your continued support and messages of love.

I am looking forward to seeing my European fans in November in the UK. Full details are here on my website. I will be visiting England at the end of the month to do a few interviews.

I want to let you all know that I’m beginning to do more, not just public, but private speaking engagements. I have thought long and hard about my efforts to bring awareness and education to the public and private sector, and am more and more convinced by peoples very positive responses that I should do as much as I feel I can do….That of course will mean a lot less performing live music, with my band, which I still love. However, every person needs to do what they feel is the right thing to do. I love giving to others. It has always made me feel great when I have given from my heart to those far less fortunate than I. I hope I will always have a chance to touch people’s lives as I have in the past. I’m truly in uncharted waters here. I hope so much that you, my fans, will understand, and help me and ALL OF US!!!! We are going to be facing an absolute epidemic of Alzheimer’s and Dementia here in the U.S., and in other parts of the world, in the next 10 to 15 years. I don’t want my children or yours to have to face the same NIGHTMARE as I have!!!!

On May 18^th I will be addressing the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Educational Conference in New York. My speech, “A Son’s Story” will be delivered during the luncheon. I encourage you all to learn as much as you can about Alzheimer’s by visiting The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s website. http://www.alzfdn.org/

God Bless
