Dick,

Good to hear from you. I had a great time in Clear Lake this year with my tribute to Eddie Cochran. We played for three straight days in the Surf Ballroom. We also backed Richie Lee from Iowa. We also played a show in Albert Lea, Minn. that went real well. We were also front page news in their local newspaper. I have a new CD coming out entitled Alan Clark and the Classics-Live at the Surf Ballroom. I also have a new all original rock and roll and rockabilly CD coming out in a couple of months with all new material. I also have 4 new live CD's coming out in the near future. Two of them were recorded live in December of 1989 with surf legend, Johnny Fortune on guitar. Two other live CD's were recorded at the Rockin' Robin NIte Club in Redlands, California Between 2002 and 2004.

In April of 2008, a new CD was released entitled Alan Clark- "My Tribute To The King" which included 14 Elvis tracks and featured Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, Bob Moore and the Jordanaires. Another CD was released in January of 2009 entitled Alan Clark and the Classics-"My Tribute To The Three Stars." This CD featured 14 Holly/Valens and Bopper tracks. It consisted of myself on lead guitar and all vocals; Billy Webb from the Bobby Fuller Four on lead guitar; Pat Woertink on Bass and Dave Cimino on drums.

I appeared on the 10th Anniversary Show at the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway in Palm Springs, California on May 2, 2009. Also appearing was rockabilly legend, Glen Glenn. I have two new books coming out this year. One on Buddy Holly and the other on Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper and the Winter Dance Party tour.

I will be appearing on July 4th at the 50th Celebration Concert show for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Special guests include Tommy Allsup, Bopper Jr., Chris Montez, Tierra, John Mueller's Winter Dance Party, Ernie Valens and many others. It will take place at the Hansen Dam in Lake View Terrace, California. You can visit my web site at www.aclarkarchives.com. Thank you.

P.S. I have included two photos--the first one is from the show I did in Albert Lea, Minn which included Graham Pugh on guitar; myself on guitar; Dave Cimino on drums and Pat Woertink on bass guitar. The second one was taken at the Elvis Honeymoon Hideway in Palm Springs, California.
