"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
-Jimi Hendrix



Hello from Manatee Headquarters. We received quite a few letters after that last Ranger Report. It seems that our Christmas show this Friday at Chaplin's www.chaplinsthemusiccafe.com is on Dec. 12 NOT Dec. 14 as was previously reported. (and Houdini's first name was Harry NOT Henry, and he was NOT American) A big thanks to all of you out there who keep us on our toes.

This Friday's Chaplin's show has just added Three-Legged www.threeleggedfoxlive.com Fox to the bill. They are a great up and coming reggae/rock band with a new CD about to be released. (They will be appearing at The Electric Factory on Fri. Dec. 19 with Sublime Tribute Band Badfish) Don't forget that the entire night will be broadcast live on-line at the Chaplin's web-site. I'm talking to all of you Canadian fans out there! This is an All Ages Show and dont forget Chaplin's is BYOB.

The Mighty Manatees have added a new date to this month's schedule: on the day after Christmas (Fri., Dec.26, Boxing Day) we will be playing at the Grand Opening of the new Bier Garten in Telford, PA. Come on out and wear your new Christmas clothes.

Also in the news: we would like to welcome international journalist and Mighty Manatees fan Mitch Potter Back to North America. Mitch was reporting recently from Israel and now will be covering the White House. Hopefully he'll find some time to visit the great state of Pennsylvania.

Manatee Fun Fact: Did you know that the new Ranger Will solo CD is one recording session away from being finished? It's true! Now all we have to do is mix the thing.

That's all for now.
Happy Holidays from the entire Mighty Manatees family.
