Hello Everyone,
I thought I had posted a couple of comments the other day when I first "logged" in but they seemed to have disappeared. Strange.
OK. My name is Alan Rockman - yep, believe that one or not, and I've been a fan of John's music since British Lions and Box of Frogs. Those opening chords of "International Heroes" and that voice made many of us immediately forget Ian Hunter!
I too, thought Box of Frogs had the ability to be big like Foreigner and Journey were. It's a shame the other guys couldn't pick up on that vision and do what John suggested, i.e., tour the states. Ironic too, considering that with John Idan, that is exactly what they did...and ironic too, that Idan is leaving the Yardbirds.
(John - any thoughts of rejoining those guys???)
I might also mention that I live in Phoenix too, and would sure love to see John play at some of the local venues here - hope I can play a part (I was once very involved in suggesting talent to a very well known venue in Southern California) in getting some gigs for him. John - if you're reading this, write me back.
