Alright! The City Slicker Album was just released in the U.K. on FM records, distributed there by EMI. Germany & Japan will follow in the fall. We're bad & we're worldwide!

J.Y. TALKS ABOUT CITY SLICKER
         The enclosed sheets are something my publicist used to promote my career. While not exactly a collector's item, these aren't available anywhere else.

STYX UPDATE
          In the May newsletter, I referred to a meeting later in the summer. This meeting has not taken place yet, but some encouraging things have happened that I am not at liberty to put in print yet. Keep the faith, and stay tuned for more.

BARRY MRAZ
          The Barry Mraz mentioned on my album is indeed the Barry Mraz who engineered some of the earlier Styx albums. He is presently working in Miami, FL.

SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY
         The credit on the album "May Shirley come back and show us all once again how it's done" refers to my friend Shirley Muldowney, the NHRA World Champion Top Fuel Dragster Driver. The movie "Heart Like a Wheel", distributed by 20th Century Fox, was her life story. Shirley was in a terrible accident at about 240mph in July of 1984. Doctors thought she would never walk again, let alone compete.

         As if her strong will, desire, and great talent weren't legendary already, she has defied most natural laws and today is walking perfectly. She is also back driving faster than ever. If an NHRA national event comes near you, I highly recommend you go see this incredibly LOUD spectacle.

          On the removable cowl of Shirley's 1982 Championship Car, the Paradise Theater album cover was painted. This bit of memorabilia was presented to me and I am proud to display it at home.

Until then....
