THE LOGO FOR ZOOMY AND THE ROCKET TRAIN WAS DESIGNED IN THE US, AND THE WEBSITE WAS PURCHASED FROM 1&1 INTERNET.

A PRE RELEASE TRAIL EDITION OF HAPPY CHRISTMAS SUNSHINE WAS SENT TO SOUTH AFRICAN RADIO STATIONS AS A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF NELSON MANDELA.
THE MP3 WAS ALSO TO KOREAN & JAPANESE RADIO & NIGHT CLUBS

Thanks to Producer Jimmy Thomas for directing "HAPPY CHRISTMAS SUNSHINE"
MP3 Went on a "Trail Run" or Pre release.
Steve Williams at Chapel Recording Studio has since expressed some interest.
Hare Krishna Rhada has said he and his Devotees will contribute their wonderful vocal harmonies to
the last verse and chorus section of the song,and a date will be booked at an appropriate studio for this
and final mix.
