Kenny Forgione: "We had no idea that this day would be here this soon but here it is . After 14 years of Wonderous Wednesday it comes to an end in this last gig for WS at KJ's . Tommy Williams has been on the road so much and had no idea that it was the end and he is bummed that he won't be here for this one . He'll be back with us in June. This week to replace him will be the awesome Eddie Profet . Make no mistake that there will be special guests and surprises for the final night . Some of the recent subs for the band and some MYSTERY? GUESTS will be on hand. Really the most important thing that I'm expecting is the love that I believe will be in the room . The comraderie that has been in that room for years will be amplified with love and tears . It has been Wonderous Stories pleasure to provide a different show every single time and this last show will be unique in many ways I'm sure . We love you all for the support and if you are one of the ones that has never been there on a Wednesday then please come down and feel the love . Signing off for now with Love - The Wonderous Stories Family."
