To JSS - If I may...

[fightingilliniJRNY]

...what would you say you are hoping to bring to the future of Journey? You've touched on it a little bit already and I think we all have expectations and hopes, but I would be interested in hearing some more straight from you.

[JSS]

Is this my 1st Q&A? Shouldn't there be more questions?

Ha ha, seriously everyone, the press release is just 2 days old now, the holidays are in full swing, my brain right now is on chilling & enjoying the calm before the storm with my family. There will be plenty of time to discuss, read & get answers on what's in store for Journey in the near future, hell, we don't even have them yet, still dealing with the damn packed malls!

I'll be around, as most of us will, lurking but honestly, & with respect to my friend Steve Augeri, it's not the time to be basking or gloating as I do realize there is a sensitivity & even mourning issue that occurs when a long term member of a band exits. I will humbly lay low, enjoy Christmas, a very drunken NYE, and then we commence the attack!

You are good person, Jeff. Congtratulations and Merry Christmas!

Hey Jeff,

Congratulations again. Looking forward to the future of Journey and your contributions.

In the meantime, have a great Christmas and a sloppy New Year.
I've got a bottle of Cristal in the fridge and my first toast for the New Year will be to you and the new Journey.

[Fourt9rkim]

Have a wonderful Christmas, and New Year, Jeff! I can't wait to see what 2007 brings!

[Todd H]

Congratulations Jeff! I'm absolutely thrilled that you will be fronting one of my favorite rock bands of all time. I can't wait to see what you and the boys come up with in 2007. Have a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful new year.
