Q: "What is your greatest achievement?"

David Bowie: "Discovering morning."

RANGER REPORT (The Official E-Newsletter Of The Mighty Manatees) - January 12, 2016 "Celebrating 30 Years Of Musical Life"

THIS THIRSTDAY! - This Thursday, Jan. 14, Captain Randy Wagner & I will be joined by vocalist Cassie Ciciliot, drummer Ras Mykyl, and singer/songwriter/guitarist/Manatees producer/and president of Fuzztone Records: Brett Andrew! Showtime is 9-ish. Don't you miss it!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our JAJMS benefit concert at The Sellersville Theater last month. Due to the generosity of all you good folks we were able to raise over $2000! Kudos to all of the musicians who took part and shared their talents. If anyone else out there still wants to donate please go to www.jajms.org DVD copies of Brian Miksis's film "Life Is Fair" are also available through the site. Much obliged.
For those of you who did not attend the concert, here is a clip of the entire show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855K8GmdI-o Special thanks to Chris Cafiero.

We received such a great response to the special edition of Lights and Sirens #3 that was available at the Anniversary Fundraiser show on December 29th in Sellersville that we were thinking about making a #4 issue this spring. Issue #3 was more a compilation of issues #1 & #2 and we were hoping on making #4 with all original material. If anyone would like to submit stories, poems, drawings, doodles, more poems, haiku, meanderings, wanderings or wonderings... please email them to Michael Jones at erleichda+LightsAndSirens@gmail.com.

That's about it for now.

One Love,
Ranger Will
