April 4, 2007 Message from Philip:

Tokyo was awesome!!! We will be back there later this year for sure. The concert in Tokyo was recorded live in front of 1,500 people with an 11 camera shoot, and it may be released as a live DVD/CD sometime this year. I am still working out the details on this.

Maybe it will be the studio version of "Silver Wheel...." and a live DVD/CD all at once! I am not exactly sure if or when it will be released, but I hope to put something up online soon from the footage.

I will be playing Thursdays this month at the Brass Elephant while I am home.

Philip's March 19, 2007 message:

*****

I just finished recording with Melissa last night.....
Fantastic album!

We leave for Japan on Saturday and play on the 27th
in Tokyo!! It's a live taping for a DVD. Exciting!! We're
playing this week at La Ve Lee on the 20th and The Brass
Elephant on the 22nd as warm-ups for the Tokyo show.

I'll be meeting with a phenomenal producer/mixer
tonight to look at my new cd to have it remixed.
The Japanese version will be different from the
rest of the world's release.....perhaps different
songs and a different mix and artwork. I’m so
proud of the new cd.

As always, thank-you for all of your support!

Love,
Philip

Congratulations, Philip, on your Oscar-winning experience!

Congratulations to Melissa Etheridge for winning the Oscar for her Best
Original Song, “I Need to Wake Up,” and to Philip, Mark Browne,
Fritz Lewak and everyone involved in this Academy Award winner! If you

perform “I Need to Wake Up” with Melissa, Mark and Fritz Lewak on the
Oscar stage and Melissa’s exciting win later that night! It was great
to see you, Philip!!

We wanted to share Philip’s post-Oscar message with everyone:

“This past week has been INCREDIBLE. The Oscars were amazing. To be
able to play my guitar on such a powerful and important song with the
best rock and roll singer in the world is incredibly inspiring to me,
and is an experience I will cherish always. I am so revved up! The
entire event was very GREEN, from the limos to the speeches.

I know that spreading the word of respecting and protecting this Earth
and acting on that knowledge will save this beautiful gift - this
planet and all of the life on it. It must be our priority.

Love,
Philip
27 February 2007"

We're not sure what the release date will be yet, but I will let you

BCCRF's mission is to educate breast cancer patients and their families through dissemination of information about the disease; promote clinical research trials; provide referral services to patients who would otherwise not have access to care; and provide psychological and social services to breast cancer patients and their families. One of the outstanding projects of BCCRF is the internet newsletter, which provides unbiased, leading-edge research and information regarding innovations in breast cancer treatment. Dr. Link says, â€œEveryday at Breastlink Medical Group we deliver optimal breast cancer care and we wanted to make available to all patients, regardless of where they receive treatment, information on new research, innovative treatments and social services.
