Hi Mike,

That's really nice of you, thank you.
I  forgot that Alice used to introduce you as "the Mr. Rogers of rock & roll." That's funny.
Talk to you soon.

Alan

Mike Pinera, leading Classic Rock into the 21st Century (New York Times)

The Internet’s First And Only 24/7 Streaming Video Classic Rock Network With The Most Comprehensive List Of Performances From The 60's, 70's, and 80's Ever Assembled



MARKET WIRE  Internet Leader in original programming and syndication announces the first 24/7 streaming video Classic Rock Network. And you will need 24/7 to view the hundreds of classic rock performances, interviews and rare backstage footage this unique video library has to offer.

Rockabilly, Folk, Sweet Soul, Legendary Ladies, Doo Wop, Guitar Heroes, The British Invasion, and Hard Rock; it’s all represented in this unique video and MP3 library which will be offered as both a 24/7 live streaming channel and hundreds of on-demand artist performances. The extensive library, which consists of concert specials, television series, behind-the-scenes interviews, and rare concert footage was licensed exclusively to AENTV by television and home video distributor Classic Rock Network, Inc.

Its CEO, Mike Pinera, is also a bit of a legend in his own right, with credits as the lead guitarist, composer and vocalist of Blues Image, "Ride Captain Ride," Alice Cooper Band and the legendary rock group Iron Butterfly, whose hit album and single "In A Gadda Da Vida" became the Rock & Roll anthem of the seventies generation, staying at the top of the charts for a remarkable 56 weeks. "Vida" was given the fi
rst platinum record award in music history.

Pinera says, “We are excited to be partnered with AENTV.COM on this project, and be able to test market and present our Classic Rock video library to millions of Internet music lovers around the world. This is the best rock & roll archive library ever compiled. I should know, I was there!”

Just a few of the performances will include Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Creedance Clearwater Revival, The Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Simon and Garfunkle, The Mammas and the Papas, Rick Nelson, Del Shannon, Blood Sweat and Tears, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops, Sam and Dave, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees, The Doobie Brothers, Chuck Berry, The Yardbirds, Led Zepplin, The Mothers of Invention, The Animals, The Who, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Paul Revere and The Raiders, Sam the Sham & and The Pharohs.

Drew Cummings, President & CEO of AENTV says, "I am pleased to work with Mike Pinera once again. This is the ultimate collection of the best musical performances Classic Rock has to offer from the 60's, 70's and 80's. This video library is a virtual anthology of Rock & Roll, and will fill a void in music content being offered on the Internet, which until now has been virtually untapped."
