From: Kulick.net Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in a new message, but so much traveling with Grand Funk in June, July and August did not give me alot of time to update my website. I have some great photos of GFR from Orlando earlier this year, cool pix from Reno, a Moondance Festival in Minn, and some of us recently in Lancaster, CA. You can check all of them out in my PhotoAlbum. We have done shows with the Doobie Bros, Kansas, Nightranger, REO, Loverboy, Cheap Trick, Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer and everyone is out there rocking hard as far as I can tell. Fans of classic rock really have a treat when you get to see these bands. Our shows have been great and our crowds very responsive. We sadly lost two shows from Katrina, and of course wish our friends and fans well in getting their lives back on track after such a terrible disaster. So to recap my summer, had a great birthday celebration for my Mom around July 4th, as my Mom turned well.. lets keep her at 80 forever now! She loves this same cake and I aim to please, so she gets the same one everytime. Very glad to have both my parents close to me. Took my Dad to get new hearing aids recently. Spooky to know, with all my loud guitar playing, I wonder what they will be selling for me when I am in need of amplification! Anyway his new DIGITAL pair rocks and he is a different person. So if you have parents with hearing issues.. don't delay. Get them hearing good again and their quality of life will improve.
Now on to my dog Joe who is small, but has a huge personality. Got him a hat and sunglasses that are called Doggles! Of course he only puts up with this for a short period, but he can stop a train with how he looks in them, so here he is for you to all see. Tim Cashion from GFR got to hang with me at my home for a bit after our LA show, so Joe got to have a seat with him. Tim's got cats in his home, but his Mom has always been a small dog fan. At our Lancaster show in LA, my friend Bernadette who breeds champion Alaskan Malamutes, presented me an award in regard to Electric Warrior, who is co-owned by ERIC SINGER and myself as well. What an amazing dog this boy is! He is in the top 10 in the country but sadly has NOT met Joe. I am sure he would just lift a leg and tell Joe who is boss! Been happy getting some new guitars of course, as ESP Guitars always has something interesting lying around. Nice Candy Apple Red one here that is sold only in Japan, so that is a treat for me. The name they use is NOT! Called a Snapper! But ESP in the US may make a model like this for sale here, but with a better name for sure. Also went to a Guitar Show here in Los Angeles. Met Jackson Browne, who is very interesting and saw James Spader walking around from the hit movies and TV shows. He is into music and guitars. Had to go home with something, so besides a new tamborine for my GFR shows, (if you saw a show you would know what that is about!) I found a nice 1973 Precision Fender Bass. Black with Maple neck. Like a penguin! Very cool Bass, and everyone should know that I have been doing some Bass work on Paul's solo disc that is still being written.
Spoke to Paul recently, as I had to tell him about meeting Tony Bennett on a flight to Cleveland this summer. Tony is a hero to Paul and I, and I even was able to tell Mr. Bennett who is 80 years young, that I read his biography. Amazing talent and an amazing human being. Upcoming for me in the fall is the UNION tour in Europe. All the dates are not set yet, but I will announce that Fred Coury from Cinderella will play drums with the band. Joining us on bass will be Chuck Garric who played with ESP in Europe this spring. As dates are firmed up I will announce them. ESP (ERIC SINGER, John Corabi, Chuck, and myself) will play two shows in Mexico City as well in December. So I am looking forward to that trip as well. I have been able to start writing new songs for my next solo disc. Very excited about the music and I promise some real good surprises for this solo effort. So keep an eye on my site as I promise more news will be coming shortly. Stay well, and all the best to you all, BRUCE KULICK PS - Very special thanks to Tracy Nixon (Orlando), Kaori Hashimoto (Lancaster), and Steve Loftness (Moondance) for the use of their GFR photos. |
