Thanks for post, Larry! I was at the taping and I did hear many "plugs" for HTP and GH's name mentioned. Not sure what will be edited out but I know that I had to provide quite a bit of material for the graphics to be shown. That material included HTP stuff!! So...we'll see. Let's hope JLT and GH get some good play off this. Take Care, Lisa

Have had VH1 Classic on all day, with the vcr rolling of course. Joe did an excellent job. Our boy Glenn received several mentions, the HTP 2 album was shown a bunch of times, about the only thing you could have asked for was a couple GH videos and more talk of HTP. Hats off to Lisa Walker for putting it together. Hopefully something like this will happen for Glenn someday.

Too right, Chip. It was cool to see the HTP 2 CD cover scrolling across the screen and hearing Glenn's name on TV

But thank goodness for "fast forward" - couldn't of stood sitting through some of the videos they decided to show

For those that missed it or unable to tune-in, you can listen to the audio of the segments over at the HTP Supporters Club - you'll find it in the Swag! page of the Media section!

I got it all on tape also.

On behalf of Joe we thank you ;-) I agree. I am pretty sure most of you do not know but I was a TV and radio personality for over 15 years. Joe is what people in the media call "a dream" to work with and that is not just because I work for Joe. He had that reputation in the business from the 80s in Rainbow right through to the DP years.

Now that it is over ;-) I will admit I agree. But, a big reason they agreed to having Joe on for such a long shift is because he can talk about SO MANY diverse artists he has worked with that fit their format. So...from a programming standpoint (I used to program radio stations as well) I would agree with what they did. Joe is not as much a "household name" as Billy Joel for example. Neither is Glenn Hughes. So, believe it or not as a media relations person whenever I can see GH or JLT in a situation that might introduce them to a more diverse fan group I am all for it :-). In otherwords, I would RATHER see GH or JLT put in a situation where people who normally would not know who they are get a chance to get to know them. Does this make sense?

Thanks for your kind words, Chip.It is fans like you who recognize that this is no easy task that help make me plug along.

>>>Hopefully something like this will happen for Glenn someday.>>>

I hope so also! :-) We are working on it. It could not hurt at all for ALL Glenn fans....even if you do not get VH1C to go to the web site and request GH videos. Every little bit counts.

Take Care,
Lisa
