The quality of the artists in the West Valley area blew us away," says Calabasas Magazine Editor in Chief Richard Bleiweiss. "As you will hear from these artists’ performances, the valley can stack up its musical talent against any region in the world and emerge with its head held high."

A portion of the evening’s ticket sales will benefit The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, a charity that supports music education and its many benefits through the donation of new and refurbished musical instruments to underserved school and community music programs and individual students nationwide.

Bobby on the Puerto Rico show and the new album — 16 February 2005

"The show in Puerto Rico went very well. The press had rave reviews about it, so it looks like we'll be going back there as soon as the new CD is done. Our promoter likes the band and is a real Toto fan.
Dave is working hard on the new CD, but is far too hemmed in with things to attend in LA to go out on the road for any stretch. We now have two permanent keyboard players and we love them both. Greg will also be working on the CD with us, so he will stay up on the current project as well as the former ones. Dave's position is so hard to replace, we've very fortunate indeed to have the likes of Greg Phillingaines to stand in his shoes. We're very proud of the fact we have a couple of the "best there is" keyboardists available to us. Come what may, it's not a losing situation by any means....................Bobby"

On Friday the Night Of The Proms tour has started in Antwerpen. To get a first impression of what's going on at the shows and beyond, here's a message from Bobby Kimball:
"It seems to be going very well out here with the orchestra. It's always been a dream of mine to play with Toto and an orchestra. We're playing a short song list, but it's a very long show. So far we're doing Child's Anthem, Rosanna, Africa, I Won't Hold You Back, Stop Loving You, and Hold the Line. At the end of the show, all of the performers are brought out to sing on Hey Jude.
Tony Spinner is with us and, as you may have guessed, he's singing Stop Loving You.
I think each night will bring something interesting for us and that's what makes it so fun. We're all having a great time blending together on this tour, and who knows, we may just, come out of the tour with another Toto CD ready to be recorded. I hope all of the Toto fans get a chance to see this show,.......well worth the venture. Later.......Bobby"
