Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since my last message about my journeys to Europe and Mexico. So I will start off with a photo from days before I left on the road. My parents had their 58th Anniversary! Amazing!! The Kulick Family took a nice photo, and those of you with elderly parents know what a blessing it can be when they are healthy. So it was a good holiday season for me to be home and spent some time with them.

My dog Joe took a great photo in his holiday outfit! Also check out his Hawaii outfit! What a poser he can be. Also some of you asked for a photo of the guitar I got for my birthday. So here it is. Thank you Guitar Center for a nice deal on a killer guitar.

New Years was fun with friends at a local restaurant, as we saw The Drifters perform. Or some guys that sing Drifters songs if you know what I mean! But most exciting about the New Year, was getting ready for my vacation to Hawaii. I have an Aunt who is 91 living in Waikiki, and cousins that I don't get to see enough. My girlfriend and I had a great time there. My cousins were wonderful to show us around, and we had an amazing dinner at their home on Oahu. There is so much to see just on that island, between the amazing ocean and sunsets, and fabulous food, and great shopping. Of course I got a chance to relax, but mostly I was very pleased with having NO schedule. Just get up and go do what I want. Went into to every Ukulele music shop of course. Check out the giant one! Tried silly hats on and of course grabbed coconuts as that is not something you see in Los Angeles!

After my return from Hawaii, I had just days to get ready for the big NAMM show in Los Angeles. I could only go on the first day of the four, but I got my business done thanking all the people who help my career. I made an appearance at the Music Star Productions booth in support of an instructional DVD that will be out in March. It has some great explaining of KISS songs that I played on. Will be fun for everyone to see, even if you don't play guitar. I really enjoy talking about the music, guitars etc., and there is bonus section where I explain my pedals as I get lots of emails about that. So look for that on my site soon. Rudy Sarzo was there to promote his new DVD. We know each other a long time now. I got to hang out with Brent Fitz from UNION, as I haven't really seen him much with his new band keeping him on the road. A great guy as all you UNION fans know.

I couldn't spend more time at NAMM as I usually do, because Grand Funk started its new season with a show in Kentucky. Nice showroom at the Executive Inn in Owensboro. It was great to see the guys as it has been a few months since our last gig. These pix are very cool from that show. A fan of mine brought me a cool Kulick doll, and here are some funny pix with it. The road crew had to tape him on my Marshall amplifier of course! Hope to add a proper guitar to him soon! Had another show in Michigan this past weekend with Grand Funk, and the sold out show went quite well.

We will be reworking our show in March when we get together for some rehearsals, but for now the rest of February is busy for with the next Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp event here in LA. I will be a counselor again and if you all remember what an amazing time I had last year this should be very cool to experience again. Visit the site to see the line up of people showing up for the campers, from Roger Daltry to Cheap Trick. My friends from the KISS tours Kip Winger and Mark Slaughter will be counselors as well. Most interesting will be working with Mark Farner from Grand Funk. Not sure if I will play the GFR songs or just be in the audience but no matter, this is all about the campers having a great time. Jack Blades our fearless leader makes it easy to happen.

At the end of February, it is off to JAPAN once again this time with KISS friend ERIC SINGER, as ESP will do two shows there. I will look forward to visiting with my friends and fans there. My brother Bob is also coming along to entertain the fans with a few surprise songs from his KISS connection. So a full report will be coming after all these exciting events are done.

Thanks again for the emails and support, and for the future, I am looking at getting UNION to Australia in the spring, and of course a busy year for Grand Funk. And most important, I am very involved with writing for my next solo disc, so I hope to start recording this spring.

Be well, stay safe and keep in touch.
