It's so nice to be appreciated, and AAM wants you to know how much we've enjoyed all your MySpace messages, e-mails, and yes, even pony express letters! WE HEARD YOU!!!

More News, More Interviews, More Reviews, CD Reviews, Pictures and Columns!!!!  You wanted it and we heard YOU!

That’s right: All Access Magazine will release an additional 8 issues this year!

Following the release of their last issue, featuring a 3 DOORS DOWN interview by Carol Anne Szel, the e-mails and letters have been pouring in! Seems AAM readers want MORE!

All Access Magazine launched nearly 7 years ago, at a time when the world wasn't quite sure of the Internet and all it would bring to the music scene. Computers were still a little pricey then, not to mention… how does one work those silly things?

Well, we have come a long way from that now. The FACT is, I don't know ANYONE who doesn't have a computer, laptop or even an iPod! Ahhhhhh yes, DIGITAL MUSIC. Now there is a subject we could talk about all day long.

The world, especially the music world, has changed from how a lot of us remember it. We can buy and sell CDs, download a song, catch a new video being released, watch a TV show or even a movie—all on the INTERNET!

You can even READ www.ALLACCESSmagazine.com online, the FULL ISSUE, from cover to cover!

AAM is read by ALL ages, and has a worldwide readership of over 1.8M hits a month. Our staff is dedicated to bringing YOU, our readers and most important fans, the best interviews, reviews, CD reviews, columns, and photos of celebrities. We have everything from the cutting edge of the music scene to that hot national touring act coming your way.

Also check out our NEW AAM calendar, where it's easy to find your next event, concert, or even a festival or two. Print out money-saving flyers and coupons!

One more thing... If you know anything about me, you know I am an animal lover! With that in mind I received this E-mail from my friends at www.petorphans.org and had to share it with you!

PLEASE HELP MY FURY FRIENDS...

With spring coming 'n' all, isn't it time to get rid of your old yukky towels and get some new ones? Pet Orphans LOVES old yukky towels, whether they're stained, bleached, frayed, faded or just plain ugly. POSC uses these towels to fastidiously clean the kennels twice a day and to wipe up puppy pee-pee accidents (if you know anything about puppies, you know they have accidents... a LOT. And using reusable cloth towels keeps paper products out of landfills.

The towels in better shape get used in our groom room, where new rescues from the pound get what is often their first bath and flea dip! "Resident" orphans get frequent baths, too, to keep them clean and healthy.

In case you didn't know, our fabulous groomer, Rhonda, will groom your dog, too - and all proceeds go to Pet Orphan's ongoing operations. Rhonda is less expensive than most area groomers!

Call Rhonda at (818) 901-0190 Ext. 104 or email thepuppamperer@sbcglobal.net for an appointment.

POSC is in desperate need of towels right now, so please do what you can, even if it's just forwarding this email.

So go thru your linen closets and get rid of those old, eyesore towels - the ones you hide from guests... I'll even come and pick 'em up! Just drop me an email at sandi.devitis@yahoo.com or you can drop off your towels at Pet Orphans - 7720 Gloria Avenue, Van Nuys. The orphans and I truly appreciate it!

This is Daisy....she needs a "forever home" or qualified foster home!

Find out more about Daisy and other fantastic adoptable animals at www.petorphans.org.

I hope you all had a nice Valentine’s Day followed by a fabulous 3-day weekend! No better place to be than So. Cal. when it comes to our weather: Simply stunning, as my dear friend would say. Combine all that with some good music, and BAM!

You may have found yourself sitting right next to me in the middle of the high desert, rockin’ out to the Joe Walla Band! What a great time; thanks, guys! Missed you, so let’s do this again really soon!

Remember, though, that you don't always have to be in the middle of nowhere to listen to great music. With all the help the Internet offers through MySpace, iTunes, etc., we can do a search and hear any kind of music we are in the mood for.

So the next time you’re listening to music, AAM wants to hear it too. Write about it; tell us what you heard. Whether it's Rock, Metal, Jazz or Country, we're always looking to help promote a new artist or group! Email allaccessmgzn@aol.com, or better yet log onto allaccessmagazine.com and click on 'Write A Review." You'll be helping an artist get his or her music out to the world!

To the AAM staff, contributing writers, and photographers, I would like to take a minute to thank you ALL for your support. Because of YOUR generosity, and all you do for AAM, we have brought our readers some of the best interviews, CD reviews, show reviews, pictures, and info on great events for over 6 years now!

I would also like to welcome a few new writers to our staff: Christi Broekemier – journalist/columnist (BackStage at MySpace), Carol Anne Szel – columnist (Rock Wrap Up), Brooke Mason – journalist, and Liberty Chandler (Hot Spots). Check out their reviews and columns, then drop us a line and tell us what you think. We may even add you to our “Word On The Street.”

 Finally, readers, I would like to thank YOU for your continued support. Thanks for reading All Access Magazine.com and supporting our great events like the AAM Music Awards Show, our annual Toys For Tots Show, and other shows throughout the year. Again, drop us a line and let us know who or what you would like us to interview or review. AAM is looking to add more clubs to our listings too, so tell us if you know of a club, theater, or HOT SPOT we should list or check out!

We Want To Hear From You...

What a way to start the new year, NAMM! Isles and isles of the latest and greatest. Like a giant candy store for anyone lucky enough to be able to attend NAMM. And talk about your "rockstars" so many we lost count! Everything and anything you could ever want musically was all under 1 BIG roof, as well as the opportunity to test it out!

A BIG thanks to my photographer/writer Jamie Sackett for making the long trip down here to NAMM to help AAM cover this huge annual event. What a blast we had running from one booth to the next trying checking in on all our sponsors and friends! COFFIN CASE, ROCKETT DRUM WORKS, ZILDJIAN, and it’s always nice to run into our friends at SOUND STREET STUDIOS.

This extraordinary event was the place to be and alongside me was AAM's marketing manager, Claudia duPreez, (Dreamcatcher Marketing). The fun didn't stop when NAMM closed, the party was on! Happening at the OC Pavilion. And turning up the heat was AAM's good friend, the talented singer-song writer Terry Ilous - XYZ, and special guest! Truly an unforgettable experience, and thanks to the HILTON HOTEL for making our stay an enjoyable one. Be sure to read all about NAMM by Jamie Sackett, and IF you’re lucky enough to get a pass for NAMM next year, GO, it is an unbelievable experience!

In Memory of Kevin DuBrow

October 29, 1955 - November 19, 2007)
A true icon in the Rock Community with the passing of Kevin DuBrow. Performing show after show Kevin gave us his all! The world has lost another great musician, a true professional among the metal bands of the eighties.
Remember, "Cum on feel the Noize" and “Bang your Head/Metal Health”, two of the "best songs" written from the eighties that many of us grew up listening to. Kevin DuBrow may you Rest in Peace and keep "rockin" in the afterlife.
