My new company, Hard Top Productions, is of to a flying start. Our focus is on record
production and artist management. All you blues fans out there should keep a look out for the
Kenny Traylor blues band and Bobby Gillmore. I’ll be sure to let you know if and when we start
a web page. Otherwise, feel free to e-mail ratboy@flash.net with requests for scheduled shows in
your area.

Kenny and Bobby will be performing at the Bedford Blues Fest this Saturday and our first
CD will be available for release in a few weeks. Tour arrangements are being made for it's
promotion, I will be interviewing artists who have requested our management services and I have
a ton of legal documents to prepare.

As a result, I may find myself too busy making preparations for the up coming events to
post for the next few days and I will be out of town from September 1st through the 6th. I’ll miss
the little ones. But, at least Ill know our children will be in good hands. And I promise to return to
Mars Dawn the following Monday.
