An Update on Bernie Torme and GMT - May 31, 2006

Hello all Rockers and Metalheads,

I hope all had a great Memorial Day, those in the states at least! Lots of news regarding Bernie Torme and GMT!

Bernie Torme, the Guitar Hero who has played with the likes of Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), Dee Snider, Phil Lewis (LA Guns and Girl) , and who saved the day for Ozzy after Randy's tragedy, now has a new project, GMT-featuring his old compadre John McCoy on Bass and the Amazing Drummer, Robin Guy.

On June 5th check out Bernie and John at 8:30 PM (UK time) on Totalrock.com on the Lisa Hernandez show.

In either June or July the British rock magazine, Classic Rock, will run a feature on Bernie and GMT. I am
guessing July as the June edition is probably already out.

GMT, Robin Guy, and Bernie can now be found at My Space

It would be great to make your presence known on these My Space sites! Check out all three sites. Say hello, drop a note, become a friend!

Regarding the Wild West, http://www.wildwestrocks.com , we do have GMT' Cannonball up and playing on the musicplayer, and the three GMT videos fron and center on the homepage. And the Wild West continues to look for sponsors and investors for bringing GMT to the US.

And do not forget, Robin Guy, who is 1/3 of GMT, is making his way thru the US right now supporting another band covering drumming duties for them. Details can be found on Robin Guy's My Space site.

Where is the GMT Tour Today? Mqy 14th, 2006

Once again in 2006 the Wild West made plans to work with Bernie Torme. How could we not again give it a shot considering that GMT, Guy Mccoy Torme, has taken shape complete wih a few shows in the UK, videos, and an album that should be out shortly. So we had to give the US Tour another shot. This time around we put together a letter of intent with Bernie and his bandmates and it was agreed that sometime in the fall this would fall into place.

The idea was simple, the tour would be funded by 100 fans who would kick in $100 each. The fans would get a laundry list of swag, ranging from boots, to DVDs, to a meet and greet with GMT, plus be part of one of the coolest tours of 2006. They had their swag and US Tour that is long overdue. As of mid-May we raised around $1000 with a handful of fans helping out and a few folks buying CDs and DVDs. Ideally we need another $9000.

So today we have put a hold on the dates but are searching sponsors, investors, and/ or fans who would be willing to make this happen. $10000 is an interesting number. On one hand it is a lot of money but on the other, it is not that much. I guess it is enough to be a challenge.

Stay tuned as we continue to work on this and even better, help the Wild West in making these shows happen.
