Middle, right: Ramones fans P.J. McGowan, Joe Finnegan and John Negvesky together with Richie Stotts (The Plasmatics, King Flux etc.) at the Joey Ramone Birthday Bash..
Stotts plays in ...Ya Know? album. He played it's opening song and single Rock And Roll Is The Answer for me and Diane Hatcher in his home in 2006. It was then a demo version of that song written originally by Joey and Stotts in 1984. Stotts tells more about that song in interview on my third book Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives, and how it found a way to this Joey's second solo album. Stotts also played at the Joey Ramone Birthday Bash.

Below, left: Anu Vihma, Richie Stotts, Sasha Silvala and Stotts' wife Carla Lother.
Vihma, Silvala and I (Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone) did long Ramones' document interview with Stotts. We heard really lot special stories and Stotts also played original 8-track version of Rock And Roll Is The Answer. He also told lot cool memories of The Plasmatics and showed document film where The Plasmatics "put city on fire", rocked great show and in the end drove car to the sea, and car exploded etc.
Stotts and Lother had made us nice dinner. Thanks a lot. Lother is also known as singer, pianist and songwriter (See details here and listen here her song Simply Put).

Below, right: Daniel Rey.
Vihma, Silvala and I (Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone) did long Ramones' document interview also with Daniel Rey at his home-studio. I will add later more background information of some songs Joey and Rey recorded. Rey recorded most of Joey Ramone's solo career songs, most of his vocals also in Joey's 2nd full length album, ...Ya Know?. Whenever Joey felt like singing, he would go over to Rey's house and sing.
Also Rey has produced few Ramones' albums and Dee Dee Ramone's Zonked/ Ain't It Fun and Joey Ramone's Don't Worry About Me.
Rey wrote for example Ramones songs Poison Heart, Pet Sematary, I Believe In Miracles, I Wanna Live, Strength To Endure, The Crusher and Garden Of Serenity with Dee Dee Ramone and Ramones songs Tomorrow She Goes Away and Heidi Is A Headache together with Joey Ramone.
Rey played often at live with Joey and Dee Dee and also toured with CJ Ramone in past. Etc. etc.
