CHIN TV: Thank You Lenny Lombardi and Andrea!
By · CommentsSunday, August 15th, I was on CHIN TV at noon which is actually broadcast on City TV..Everywhere. Lenny Lombardi came on with me and had so many nice things to say. What a 
pleasure, what a nice man..His dad would be so proud. Andrea the host of the show is amazing, so calm, so kind and so professional. And Ali Bidabodi is a super producer and camera man. Ali shot the footage of me at the CHIN picnic and I must say that he has made me feel terrific about my performance there.
Lenny Lombardi was just back from a music festival in a small village in the south of Italy. The music festival is named after his dad Johnny Lombardi. He said the festival was a great success and that people really enjoyed it. He also said he might include a contingency of Canadian performers next year and asked if he did would I consider…..What a pleasure that would be.
I am very grateful to Lenny and Ali and Andrea and everyone at CHIN and City TV for all that has been done for me.
I’m getting lots of emails about the Collingwood Elvis Festival, July 22-25th. The Old Town Terrace tells me tickets are flying. The Jewel 88.5 FM is promoting me and the festival

CHIN Picnic Toronto, Here Comes Brian Roman!
By · CommentsHey I received a call today from Lenny Lombardi of CHIN Radio and TV fame in Toronto. Lenny is a great guy approachable and unassuming. Lenny was given a copy of my latest 
CD and has invited me to participate in the CHIN picnic this year.
I will be performing on July the 4th at Exhibition Place in Toronto. Lenny also said that he would like to ad some of my songs to regular rotation on the radio.
Thanks so much Lenny. Also a big thanks to Alfonzo Ciasca and Franco Vali for their support.
See you at the Picnic.
