And in releated news: It seems that Joe Lynn Turner is considering to record his own version of 'Number One' (one of the songs he co-wrote with Lee for the 1987 album)
Here's an excerpt from an recent interview he did with british magazine Firehouse:
[Interviewer] When I was listening to your old demos, there was one on there that I thought would be a great song for Sunstorm, and that was ‘Number One’ that Lee Aaron ended up recording.
[JLT] Isn’t that a great song?
[Interviewer] Yeah - its got a good riff, that massive chorus, I thought that had Sunstorm written all over it. If there’s ever a Sunstorm III, bear that in mind!
[JLT] It would be great... that whole ‘I know, you know’ chorus, the ‘I wanna be your number one’... it’s so poppy-rock, but doesn’t sound twee, y’know?
[Interviewer] It’s feelgood music.
[JLT] Yeah, it’s just good! I love that song and I’m glad you brought it up, because I trust your judgement.
[Interviewer] Well in that case, you could always put it on your next solo record if the opportunity arises!
[JLT] You know what, I just might do.
[Interviewer] It’s a really good track, but with mine being a bootleg, it’s shit quality, there’s background hiss on it and it’s a shame not to have a proper version.
[JLT] Oh, right, it’s a bootleg of a bootleg of a demo, yeah? It’s probably from a twisted, stretched out cassette tape. You know what, I’ve always wanted to do that song and you’ve just convinced me to bring it out, be it for Sunstorm, a solo record, whatever.

Hi, and welcome to the new version of the LEE AARON EUROPEAN FAN PAGE.
Finally after a 6 year hiatus.
I'm still no web wizard, so the page is still quite basic. But I've made a few changes [hopefully to the better] the layout has changed and I've added a few sections; like a current Tour Dates page, a page with Articles and Reviews and a Latest Updates page. There's still some things missing, but it will be fixed soon. I also have a bunch of live photos [1985 - 1991] that I will put up here as soon as I've had them scanned.
If you come across something that's not working the way it's supposed to, please let me know.

The following is taken from the Classic Rock Mailing List:
"TOUR NEWS : APRIL-MAY CROSS-CANADA TOUR : LEE AARON SPECIAL GUEST cross-Canada tour of art galleries and repertory cinemas is currently being booked for April-May. This show (AN INTIMATE EVENING OF JAZZ AND CINEMA) will include the RALPH group performing live in front of a specially commissioned B/W movie directed by Chris Hooper (ex-Grapes Of Wrath) called "Vie De Nuit" (some of the soundtrack is featured on the This Is For The Night People CD). "It's a very intimate experience reminiscent of a 60s New York loft performance," explains band leader Ralph Alfonso. "The movie is very much a homage to the French new wave sensibility of the early 60s." At a recent showing at Vancouver's Blinding Light Cinema, the group was joined on stage by legendary French poet/songwriter Pierre Barouh, who wrote the lyrics for the soundtrack to the classic French film, "A Man and A Woman" with Francis Lai. "Considering that movie was a touchstone for us, I was really flabbergasted that Mr. Barouh was in town and enjoyed the experience enough to want to jam with us afterwards."The tour will include a special set by LEE AARON who will be promoting her debut jazz cd, Slick Chick. The touring band will be a combination of players from Lee's band and the RALPH group. Lee and Ralph's friendship goes back to when Ralph Alfonso was the promo director at Attic Records when a 17-year-old Lee signed with the label."

Lee's new cd [tentatively called Faith,Hope,Truth,Love] will be released in Canada on May 01 -
it will feature mostly original material, some of it co-written by Lee.
While still rooted in jazz, the upcoming cd ventures closer to pop.

I had the opportunity to see Lee at the "Romerike Blues & Roots Festival" outside of Oslo in Norway on June 21.
Lee was performing as a part of "Johnny Ferreira & The Swing Machine" singing on their songs,
aswell as doing two songs of her own "Why don't you do Right" and "Teach me Tonight".
Her voice were fantastic as always. I loved the show, even though it wasn't the perfect settings for a good show [in front of 100 drunken Norwegians in a large tent at 2.15 in the morning]
I'm redoing the whole webpage right now. [Don't know when it will be ready]
Will have some pictures from the show up by then.
All German Lee Aaron Fans, be sure not to miss Lee's Solo Jazz Show in Weinheim on July 12.
It will be her only Solo Show during the European Tour.
Check out www.Muddys-Club.de for more info on ticket prices and showtime.
There's been a second date added in Budapest on July 28? [I'm not really sure if it's on the 27th or the 28th. I've been getting contradictory information]
