GREETINGS FROM THE JOHNNY COOPER CAMP!!! IT'S BIRTHDAY WEEK and the JOHNNYJUGGERNAUT just keeps "Cruisin On Down The Road", so if you can spare a few moments...why not send Johnny your birthday wishes! Remember that the best thing about 9/11...is Johnny's birthday, and now that it's his last year to be an official "teenager", I think he would enjoy hearing from everybody. Send him a note at johnny@johnnycooper.com

This past Thursday, we spent time with our friends Tony and Coach Joe Avezzano at Hat Tricks as they kicked off the NFL season with the Dallas Desparado Dancers and commentator and former Cowboys great, Preston Pearson...what a night!

Tony and Joe are great supporters of great music of all types and especially independent Texas music...they always show the entire Band a great time, so thanks Joe & Tony, & good luck with the new location in Frisco!!!

Friday found us back north in Duncan, Oklahoma at Wall Street. We would like to send a "shout-out" to owners Mary and Bill, our web sponsors, Shannon and Cindy Bonds, and all of our loyal Duncan fans who packed the house for a great show!

Saturday night was the official, un-official Johnny birthday celebration at the Red Moon Cafe in Ennis...a special thanks goes out to Dorothy, her husband and the entire staff for decorating the club...and for Jim and Kim Nash for officiating the birthday celebration and cutting the cakes!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHNNY!!!

Johnny and Joy, along with their daughter MacKenzie and My Space guru Amanda, drove down from Arlington to celebrate along with Chris from Mesquite and dozens of other fans who's names I will withhold to protect the "guilty"...ha!
