Here we are again for yet another episode of Wake Up Winnipeg.

This week was a great week for us as we received over 20 personal event invites from all of our friends fans and supporters, let alone the individual e-mails that we get on a daily basis.

It's been so fun growing with you all throughout the last 46 episodes and next week. . . we celebrate our 1 year mark as we launched this radio program back on June 11th of 2009!

It's been amazing to see how far this show has grown, and I can't wait to recap our year on next weeks episode. We are also taking your congratulatory voice-mails on our voice-mail box which is open 24 hours and is open to anyone.

Please check out our CONTACT PAGE if you are interested in sharing your love.

Please get these to us BEFORE THURSDAY so we can include your well wishing on our one year episode. Thank you!

This week, we talked about the various events happening locally both small and large.

We featured a track from Tom Petty who is being presented by Live Nation at the MTS Centre on June 19th. We hope to review that for you soon!

1) Tom Petty - The Last Dj.

We also had a chance to check out a couple of local favorites here in town over the weekend:

On episode 46, I had the chance to head down to Canad Inns Fort Gary to check out Celebrations Dinner Theater presentation of "Night At The Museum of Rock & Roll".

This marks Wake Up's second visit to Celebrations, and once again I have to say. . . I was thoroughly entertained.

For any of you who liked to be wined, dined, and entertained, I would strongly suggested heading down to Celebrations be it with family, friends or loved ones. There is something to be enjoyed for people of all ages.

As a musician, artist and someone who likes to be entertained, I always enjoy visiting celebrations dinner theater, both professionally and personally.

Flat out: Night At The Museum of Rock & Roll was wicked!

As the title states, the play is in similar taste to the film "A Night at the Museum". However, instead of dinosaurs and army figures, the viewer is treated to the tastes of rock and roll legends.

Such celebrities include: Dianna Ross, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna Janis Joplin, Michael Jackon,
Little Richard, David Bowie, Bono, Elvis, Bob Segar, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Jerry Lee Lewis and even Pete Townsend!

The play list was great, as always. . . over 29 tracks of rock and roll classics both past and
present.

It was hard to resist the urge to run up on stage and sing with the cast. . .

. . . oh wait. I did.

During one part of the play, I was invited to be drummer Ringo Starr, which I found funny. . .
considering I am a drummer. Needless to say, it was a blast!

It should be noted, that the cast did a stupendous job of portraying their characters and singing songs from the legends of whom they were portraying. All of the songs portrayed and featured in this production were sang 100% live from the cast!

What is even more amazing is the amount of responsibility that each cast member was accountable for. Each cast member had at least 1 lead and 1 supportive roll throughout this production! And the audience certainly loved them for it.

"Night At The Museum of Rock & Roll" is on from May 28 - July 31, 2010 at Canad Inns Fort Garry hotel located at 1824 Pembina Highway inside Celebrations
Dinner Theater.

For more information, show times, or for ticket pricing and purchase, please visit http://www.celebrations.ca or call toll free 1-877-823-8282 Or better yet. . . GO SEE IT YOURSELF!

I personally assure you that a night at celebrations dinner is well worth it!

So, until next time Winnipeg, you keep on rocking and I'll keep on rolling.


Take care and Thanks again!
