I can't say enough about this show and the words I can use don't begin to describe this night in its entirety. Marty Spagnola andI have become friends over the past few years and it was an honor to work with him in producing this event which has been a long time a-comin' for Marty. The band was also comprised of people we both know well, so it was a lot of fun to work together with everyone on this. As I reluctantly told Kat Alaniz, it's nights like this when I really wish David Alaniz were still with us (in the physical sense). The spirit of this evening keeps David alive. The performance and the joy brought to all of us is what brings LIFE to music.... The room was truly alive this night and, again, I'm glad to have done this event with Marty. I'm also grateful to everyone who came out on a busy holiday weekend to enjoy Neil's music with us.
