Emeril's Annual  Carnival Du Vin raised over $3 million last night. Our package went for 85K & at the last minute Jonathan Cain from Journey came onboard to add to the musician lineup.

Food was outstanding, the cocktails and wine were outstanding, and Jose Andres, the person to Kari's left when she has the hat on is a riot and he's one of my favorite chefs in the world.

Emeril was on fire with Chris Wilson and the staff from all the chefs' restaurants, it was amazing!! Hard to leave and come home, I love the big easy. 

Damn I knew them redheads could rock, but I didn't know they could cook! YUM YUM – it all looks delicious! – Sammy

The Circle played at the Texas Motor Speedway Sunday. The police escort we had to get us in and out of that crazy ass traffic of course wanted a picture with Mikey and I because the police love us ha ha Ha ha ha.  They can't drive 55 either.

We went on at 11am, ouch it was early, but an amazing race with my buddy Jimmie Johnson winning (I visited him right before the show – good luck charm baby)! Plus, The Circle kicked ass for a 75 minute show. Lots of Texas fans/redheads, more than I expected, almost like a Texas jam!

Also Michael Waltrip and I hung out, talking old times like the TV commercial we did for his team a while back! And Danica Patrick – wow that girl holds her own! Saw lots of old friends, drivers, and even Duck Dynastys' Willie! Hadn't seen him since having a couple shots together at the CMT's, where I introduced and gave Kenny Chesney his award. 

So cool! Great folks, I love NASCAR events, big bad ass stuff. 

Last night was off the hook fun energy at Bimbo's in SF for the Chef's Classic fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation.

George Lopez was there, along with Tre from Green Day playing drums, the other guy's name is Matt Nathanson, a singer/songwriter who is good friends with Train &  they took him on tour from the bay area. I sang "Fall In Love Again" and "Bad Motor Scooter" – it was awesome playing my own songs and a lot of fun playing Train's songs with them. 

We wrapped up the night with a smokin' cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends", check out the video!

Making this record was such a great experience! It was my first time in the studio with a great producer like Ted Templeman, Ronnie Montrose, Bill Church, and Denny Carmassi – the chemistry was second to none! I remember singing  Bad Motor Scooter after I went to the dentist to have two wisdom teeth pulled, I was knocked out, had the teeth pulled then went straight back to the studio and sang it with bloody gums in the back of my mouth — wow I was driven!

The first songs I ever wrote in my life were Bad Motor Scooter & Make It Last, both making the record. It was a very big important experience for me, the whole Montrose thing, I learned everything about going on the road, writing rock 'n' roll songs, being a rock 'n' roll star and singing in the studio.

All things I take for granted now, but that was the beginning of very exciting times, the only sad thing about the whole experience is what happened with Ronnie. If you were alive today, Bill Church, Denny Carmassi, and myself could do some great little Reunion shows around the world an keep that legend alive. 

Enjoy those eight rocking tunes my friends they are full of heart soul and fire.
