          RECEPTION RE-RELEASE -
                 Michael's first cd, Reception, will be re-released for Halloween. Manager Bill Pursche of Varzara House said,
              "The reason for releasing it on Halloween is mostly because that's when it will be ready." The cd is a collection
              of instrumental pieces Michael had originally been recording for a television project that stalled in mid-production.
              With assorted contractual elements resolved, the cd will become available directly from michaelgabriele.com.

               SCI-FI PARTNERS NOVEL APPROACH -
                 Michael and Bill Pursche met in 1968, while in grade school, and they became fast friends. A common interest was
              in writing science-fiction, and they wrote many short stories together. In high school, they came up with a story
              about a religious figure on another planet. They made several attempts to get the project going, but they had
              graduated and moved on before they got to write it. Cut to 2006: Bill tells Michael he's going to write the book
              they started in high school. Michael was surprised, but eager to help. The result is The Eternal Messiah, and the
              book will be published this winter by Varzara House.

                NEXT... IS IN THE WORKS -
                 Michael's next cd will be called just that: Next..., and recording is underway. Michael says, "I've got backing
              tracks for 7 songs, so far. There'll probably be 6 or 7 more." And the Beatle-esque sound will still be there. "I
              wanted to have another go with the Beatle-sound, mainly because I really enjoy recording this kind of music. It
              may be the last time I do it, but who knows? It depends on what the muse brings me." Michael expects the cd
              to be finished by the end of the year.
