Thank you Uncle Tom for stopping in this morning and sharing with us the information on the Elton John concert. If you weren't tuned in Tom Moffatt Productions is bringing Elton John back to Hawaii to kick off 2010. The show happens Wednesday night January 6, 8 pm at Blasidell Arena. Tickets go on sale this Saturday November 21st at 9 am at the Blasidell Box office, all Ticket Master outlets, on line at ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000. Ticket prices range from $60 to $160. We gave away a pair of tickets this morning, and we have another pair on Thursday and a pair on Friday to giveaway.

A lot of new fans are asking "who is Ray Cooper?" Here some information that I found for you...Ray started his recording career in the '60's with the Who. He first worked with Elton in 1971,on his Mad Man Across the Water album. In the late 70's they toured as a duo in which Elton would play a solo set and then be joined by Cooper on percussion for the 2nd half of the show. Ray Cooper has also worked with America, Carly Simon, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones! Quite an impressive list!

For details on how to win tickets to Elton John and Ray Cooper before you can buy them, wake up with me on 107.9, Hawaii's KOOL Gold.

Thanks also to comediane, actress and comedy writer Wendy Cummings for making a stop by this morning. Wendy appears tonight at the Pipeline Cafe, 8pm. This is her first time ever visiting the islands, so if you can, check out her show. We'll be posting a bit of her visit on our Facebook wall later today.

So wake up with me tomorrow morning to win another pair of tickets to see Elton John in concert...see you in the morning.
