Update 3.15.08:
Dear Friends,

The Fierro family wishes to thank everyone who has made great effort to come to his aid during this difficult time . Your outreach and offers of support are incredibly empowering and wonderful.

We understand that so many of you feel a special bond with Martin -- through his soulful music, his humor, his spirit, and boundary-free passion to make a positive connection with everyone he encounters. Over his past 50+ years of performing, the Meester has touched so many so deeply with his unconditional desire to deliver the magic of live music and make people happy. We are deeply appreciative of the many friends who have "been there" for Martin, in so many amazing ways. Martin loves and appreciates you more than you know. He truly treasured all of the special, bizarre and unexpected moments he has shared with us all. Onstage and off.

All official announcements will be posted here regarding any public memorials and musical celebrations of his life. Please feel free to visit the blog to post your messages and share your memories of Martin with the community that orbits in Zero gravity around our Meester.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I appeared on KGO-AM’s (810) Ronn Owens on Friday Dec. 21, playing two hours of Bay Area music for a show entitled “The Best Music You’ve Never Heard.”

For five years I did the show with Pete Wilson, who died last July, and Ronn wanted to revive it in his honor. It worked. Something was shining down on us. Must have been the oversized image of Wilson’s head they put on his old studio chair.

For two hours we got no turkeys, just really great unsigned bands, including Sherry Austin, Mighty Mike Schermer, Colby Pollard, Lauren and Judge Murphy, the Attila and Dave Project and the Wicked Sons.

You can get the list and links to their sites at www.kgo.com. You’ll be surprised at how much great talent there is in the area, and how many great musicians can’t get signed to major labels anymore.

We’ll do the show again in 2008.

Well, it was close, folks. We entered our version of "Mercy". Congrats to Jennifer Lee. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of submissions, we were honored to be one of the 25 tracks selected for the voting loop today. Thanks KGO!

Weekend Los Gatos rock event helps musician moms realize their dreams.

Lauren Murphy, lead singer of Lansdale Station, http://www.LansdaleStation.com , one of the bands performing at the festival, says she feels honored to be part of an event that is working to support these undervalued societal roles. I have learned it still is very difficult to be a woman in the entertainment business. When I heard of the event, I thought that it's really cool that someone wants to honor not only women in music, but mothers. It's so hard to juggle career and family," Murphy says.

DJ Big D sure has a good ear. He just added "Mercy" by Lauren & Judge Murphy,(Lansdale Station) to his playlist.... This song is written by New Orleans's own Grayson Capps, and to have Big D add this to his show is a great compliment, as he is very familiar w/ the indemic Capps' compositions. Rock on' Big D! Thank you!

Check it out!
