A note from Mickey B...
'Over the past 10 years, it has been my pleasure to be the radio host of 'Mickey B's
Juke Box Revue'. Now I have the difficult task of selecting the tracks for my first CD. After hours of listening and debate, I've chosen a mixture of all-time classics with a sprinkling of newly discovered treasures. What a great start to a series of Mickey B CDs!'

THE ICE CREAM MAN FOM HELL
Johnny Maestro, of the Crests & Brooklyn Bridge fame, stopped at the Collectibles Show at Lead East before performing.
Marty & Ann Marie spear-headed the national drive to get Johnny Maestro, formerly of the Crests (16 Candles), now with the Brooklyn Bridge (The Worst That Could Happen), inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Johnny Maestro is the cornerstone of what the hall is today - an original pioneer of rock and roll/doowop music. He has been on the music scene for more than 40 years.
After acquiring thousands upon thousands of signatures and endless hours of attempting to contact the 'powers that be' at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - with NO response, Marty & Ann Marie still have hope of one day seeing Johnny Maestro being inducted!
