RIP: To my friend, David "Spanky" Reynoso
(April 21, 1969 - May 13, 2010)

Look at you, with your drink in hand with your perfect ideal background! One of my favorite "Spanky" pics! You were such a warm and loving person. You helped me throughout my KRE world in so many ways. At times, when I felt lost in the music biz and almost giving up, just your smile and warmth gave me hope. Just your friendship helped give me direction. And, your voice! What an amazing voice! I remember people running almost crushing each other trying to get inside from the patio -- "Spanky's on!" Everyone running to see you. We should have videotaped that! :) I miss you, my friend. Thank you for being you and for welcoming me into your world. I bet the angels in heaven are surrounding you right now as you sing to them! Take care, my friend! -- Michael Kohli (May 2010)
More shows 2010!!!

Kohli Rocks Entertainment is sending prayers out to Bret Michaels and his family. Bret, you have given me so many memories to treasure. I feel so damn lucky, to say that I grew up with the music of Poison - then before I knew it, our careers had crossed paths! In 1996, I had the honor of meeting Bret Michaels himself at a Hollywood show. I got to meet people that worked for Bret and ended up getting involved in his "A Letter From Death Row" album & show promotion. I also got to interview him twice (check: http://www.kohlisinterviewwithbretmichaels/freeservers.com or the Interviews page on this site!). My latest memory with him, in 2004 after a Poison concert at the Gibson Ampitheater -- I saw him over by the tour bus as I was exiting. As I approached, two security guards tried to block me. But, Bret stepped in front of them and told them it's cool. Then, he asked me how my writing and my own music stuff was going. Then, to be even kinder -- he invited me to chat and walk with him to his car! To me -- this is one of my biggest career moments. I can't tell you how happy he made me during the whole drive home afterwards. It's one thing for an artist you've idolized for 20+ years to know what you do, it's another to hear that artist acknowledge it. The fact that he went out of his way to let me know that he knew -- was an amazing feeling. Whenever I'm not sure where my KRE path is going, I always remember that moment!
Keep on rocking the world, Bret! -- Michael Kohli / Kohli Rocks Entertainment. (april 2010)
