June speaks about the upcoming autobiography that begins in the Philippines and chronicles the adventures that lead from ukeleles in Manila to guitars in California, electric instruments, forming all-girl bands and world tours. I’m sure there will be many more interviews to come!

Released by Rhino Hand Made Records, the Fanny 4-CD Box Set was limited to a run of only 5000 copies, and they are now officially sold out!  But, FannyRocks.com managed to pick up the last few available copies and make them available here for the first time!

For one simple price, you can buy the CD Box Set for $89.95 with Free Shipping for the USA, or for $99.95 have the CD Box Set shipped any where else in the world!  Check out the CD page here for more information or for a complete song listing, click here for the album information here on FannyRocks.com!

After a lot of work updating the back-end of the site, FannyRocks.com is once again rocking.

When the site was transferred to the new host, we gained a lot of speed as the old host did not handle the site’s new design well (MySQL server was really slow for you techno-babble folks).  But, an upgrade was applied by a server admin that caused havoc for not only this site, but for all the sites hosted where FannyRocks.com is now calling home.  Been a month of pulling hair, but we have it straightened out.

I’ve asked Alice to help me contact the rest of Fanny to get updated information from them.  They certainly have things in their professional lives that have updated in the last year, so we’ll get that posted as soon as we get the information.  Also, Alice has promised to help me update the History pages with images and a tweak here and there on the verbiage.  Also, I have a complete itinerary for Fanny for the year 1971 which is really interesting and promised to get that posted in early April.

You should find ordering T-shirts a lot easier now, we updated to a new little shopping cart plug-in that is very sweet indeed and makes posting new product a snap.

Oh, and all the videos will be returning to the Media Gallery here shortly.  I am re-encoding them for better picture quality and even sound.

That’s it for now!  Contact me at Fanny@FannyRocks.com with any comments or suggestions  Rock on, man.
