The CD Release Party will be held at   The Catbird Coffeehouse. The coffeehouse is inside the New England Wildlife Ctr at 500 Columbian St. South Weymouth, Ma. 02190.

It will be a great show for all of John's friends not to miss! Hope to see you there, Always, Neal :)))

A word from Neal about myself and 3 very special friends!!!

Hi Folks,

    I am continuing to figure out how best to put this Blog together and make sense! With those of you that know me totally understand I have no clue when it comes to Computer work in general. I did learn today from my dear friend Sam Schneiderman, that underlining on email & blog ect were thought to be links to other things. I do have a history of underlining things to help emphasize things!! I must say I hope this issue did NOT waste too much you your reading time on anything I jot!!! Sam is also the ONLY sponsor of ROM currently! Sam is my childhood friend that has paid for our website and my email address at ROM since our beginning and has just committed to do the same for ROM - 2011!! Thanks so much Sam from both Mike & Neal . Sam is also a great person to contact should you need any and all advise regarding Real Estate as he is the Owner of the Greater Boston Home Team! See me for further info anytime or contact Sam directly at: 617-469-4200.

I also wish to thank King Yee who just a couple hours ago handed back my very old Yamaha FG-300 guitar which he simply took in pieces and I now have my wonderful guitar named "Happy"back and sounding incredible! Thanks so much King!!

I also wish to thank Branson Bofat who has done so much work to help me re-construct the Pickguard for this very same guitar!!Thanks so much Branson!! When all is done, I will have a very dear and special guitar to me both sounding and looking great! I say a personal thanks to two dear friends/supporters not only of ROM but also and most specially, great friends to me!!

My thanks to all of you that do so very much to make ROM the Community that continues to grow each and every Venue!! I hope to see you on our last Venue for the year on 12-13-10 with Trisha & Phil Knudsen as our year end Features!  Always, Neal :)))

Thanks to Mary Pratt & Terence Hegarty and an incredible Holiday CD

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2010
Just me again with a quick note. All this year and undertaking has been going on by Jon Waterman, Steve Rapson and Dawn Frost. They have put together a Holiday CD made up , primarily of songs written by many of our dear friends right here at ROM as well as our wonderrful Open Mike Community Family. The name of the CD is "Our Finest Gifts". ALL the procceds from this CD will benefit the SMALL CAN BE BIG ORGANIZATION! TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE INSERT OF THE CD IS A NOTE TO US!  "The goal of this project is to highlight the vibrant performing & songwriting community of the Greater Boston area". The philosophy was make this project, all inclusive. "It is the belief of the producers that the best arbitters of musical taste are the listening public & NOT radio Programmers, venue operators, lable executives or pitchmen/promoters working on behalf of a certain privileged artists" I have listen to this CD it is definitely a keeper!. The cause is wonderful and both it's producers and all the performers are wonderfrul. I thank you Jon, Steve and Dawn for taking on and coming through with this devine piece of art!! Sincerely Neal :))
