Did anyone post this review:
The Aquarian
Light Of Day, Day Two At The Paramount Theater, Jan.16
What do you get when you combine big named headlining gold with a noble cause and a whole lotta of people? Light Of Day, of course. This year’s three-day benefit was bigger than ever and purportedly raised an estimated $90,000 in the effort to battle the debilitating Parkinson’s Disease and provide funds for the patient support programs of the ALS Association. The series has been going on since 1996 when founder Bob Benjamin discovered that he suffered from Parkinson’s himself. The 51-year-old musician, manager and industry vet came up with the name in an interesting way.

This year’s Paramount show was the only one I could attend out of the three but believe me when I say that it was a good cross section of what was going on in Asbury all weekend. Headliner Ed Kowalczyk, singer and frontman for the group LIVE, did his acoustic thing and other great acts included Joe D’Urso & Stone Caravan, Outside The Box, Joe Grushecky and the House Rockers and the incomparable Willie Nile. Local artists such as Lisa Bouchelle and Bobby Strange, along with the duo talents of Melissa Chill, held down positions along with Danny White, Rob Dye, Jon Caspi, Bruce Tunkel and Anthony D’Amato.

Willie Nile summed it up best when he told me, “The Paramount is a magical venue with a great history and the reaction to the songs we all played was heartwarming to say the least. And for Bruce to take the time to come early so he could join us on ‘Heaven Help The Lonely,’ that was heaven (laughs). The man has a heart the size of New Jersey. But really, here’s to all the musicians and everyone who gave of their time and effort and money to make it all happen. It makes you feel good to be alive, and to celebrate the amazing rock ‘n’ roll happening on that stage all night long. Look out Parkinson’s, here we come!”

I can only wonder how LOD will top this year, as they no doubt slide into preparations for next year’s show. In the meantime, this event still lives on and you can help in a big way by donating over at lightofday.org.

I edited out a lot of the article. Not much about Ed in there. In fact not much about anyone but Bruce.
