Eisemann Center Presents Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats Sat, Oct. 26, 2019 For Immediate Release Media Contact: Sarah Nesbit 972-744-4612 or [email protected] EISEMANN CENTER PRESENTS LEE ROCKER OF THE STRAY CATS GRAMMY NOMINATED MUSICIAN AND BASS PLAYER HALL OF FAMER SAT, OCT. 26, 2019 at 7:30 PM RICHARDSON, TX – Eisemann Center Presents LEE ROCKER of The Stray Cats at the Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson, Texas on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at 7:30 pm in the Hill Performance Hall. LEE ROCKER made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning and rocking his giant upright bass as a founding member (along with Brian Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom), of the Grammy nominated music group The Stray Cats, who sold over 10 million albums, garnered 23 gold and platinum certified records, and were music video pioneers of the MTV. The Stray Cat’s worldwide mega hits “Stray Cat Strut”, “Sexy and Seventeen” and “Rock this Town” have become a part of the fabric of rock and roll. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has included “Rock this Town” as one of the 500 most important songs in rock. From the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine, to appearing on Saturday Night Live, to headlining the US Festival and touring with the Rolling Stones, LEE ROCKER has seen and done it all. In addition to The Stray Cats and the Rolling Stones, Rocker has toured and performed with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, and John Fogerty. In 1982 Rocker and his father Stanley Drucker, (classical clarinetist) both received Grammy nominations; this was something that has only occurred twice in the history of the Grammy Awards. In 2012 Lee appeared on Broadway in the hit musical "Million Dollar Quartet" and in 2014 he was inducted into the Bass Player Hall of Fame. Rocker has received numerous honors for his contributions to music and the arts, including being inducted to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame and he is a recipient of the Visionary Artist Award by the City of Laguna Beach California. In his concert performances, LEE ROCKER rocks every town and leaves every audience on their feet and cheering. LEE ROCKER has been consistently touring, recording and performing around the globe since 1980 and has cultivated a fanatically loyal following of rockers, rebels and all types of music lovers. He is known for making his upright double bass appear as if it were a lightweight instrument as he spins, throws it in the air, catches and plays it on stages throughout the world. His concert show is a time for him to tell stories about his days on the road and in the music business for the last 35 years – including sharing stories about his adventures lugging the giant piece of equipment around.

  • Furfield Opening Goes to the Dogs
    Winter 2019-20 Business Booster Page 2 Recreation Programs Page 3-20 A Publication of the City of Fairfield, Ohio FurField opening goes to the dogs FurField, the City’s much-anticipated dog park, opened to the public on October 12, 2019, almost exactly a year after ground was broken for construction. Hundreds of people and canines descended upon the park for opening day and have continued to use the park daily since! The park is 6.5 acres at 6611 River Road, with three large play areas including a small dog area, a concrete pond, and restroom facilities. Cutting the ribbon to officially open the park were, left to right: City Council Vice Mayor Debbie Pennington; City Councilmembers Tim Abbott & Leslie Besl; State Representative Sara Carruthers; Mayor Steve Miller; Councilmember Bill Woeste; City Manager Mark Wendling; City Councilmember Craig Keller; Parks & Recreation Board Member Dale Paullus; Parks and Recreation Director Tiphanie Howard; Parks and Recreation Board Member Christine Zboril and Chair Doug Meece. Please take a few minutes to complete an online survey that has been posted on the City’s website at https://tinyurl.com/rfjw5g4 Connectivity Initiative: more sidewalks, trails and paths Residents overwhelmingly expressed a need to improve walkability and bikeability during the recent comprehensive plan update. As a result, the City will develop a strategy for building a network of pedestrian and bicycle connections. This connectivity initiative called "Fairfield Connects" will address access to and between neighborhoods, activity centers, and existing recreational regional trails like the Great Miami River Trail. Citizen input is needed to make sure that the plan is designed based on the needs of the community.

  • Sparkle King Standard
    It’s not enough for your instrument to look and sound great, it has to hold up. It has to be able to take the abuse of a 40 show tour and have the same quality of sound at the last show, as it did on your first. www.kingdoublebass.com It’s an old maxim: If you want it done right, do it yourself. SPECIALIZING IN BUILDING CUSTOM UPRIGHT BASSES “When I was touring with an upright bass, I could not keep it together and when I got it to stay together I could not get it loud enough to be heard over the rest of the band. So I decided to make my own,” says Jason Burns of the modest beginnings of what has become one of the hottest companies specializing in building custom upright basses. While touring over the years, Burns developed and refined the product line, which has catapulted his company to the top of the industry. “I gathered input from players like Lee Rocker and Jimbo Wallace, they have been playing on the road and in studios long enough to have a really good idea of what needs to go into the design and crafting of professional quality instruments.” It’s not enough for your instrument to look and sound great, it has to hold up. It has to be able to take the abuse of a 40 show tour and have the same quality of sound at the last show as it did on your first. www.kingdoublebass.com A King instrument is built to last.

"It's a tribute in a lot of ways," Rocker (nee Leon Drucker) tells Billboard. "It's a song I wrote over the last couple of months. I was thinking about my career with 40 years of Stray Cats and all of that and thinking about the upright bass, which is what started this thing. It takes me back to the opening line of the song -- which is "Took me 'round the world and I changed my name/found a little fortune, found a little fame/Doin' the dog house shuffle" -- which is right out of my story. Dog House is what they call the upright bass, so it's a tribute to the bass itself and a lot of the players that I came up listening to." Some of those players -- including Elvis Presley's Bill Black, Willie Dixon, Fred Maddox, the Tennessee Three's Marshall Grant, Carl Perkins' brother Clayton and Al Rex of Bill Haley & His Comets -- are featured in the "Dog House Shuffle" video, along with cartoon animations and studio footage of Rocker and his band recording the track.

Throughout the Australian landscape are rubbish tips, which provide biological attraction points around which free-living cats congregate in high densities. This study examined populations of cats exploiting tip sites in two contrasting bioregions in New South Wales. The study determined the most useful methods for the detection and assessment of abundance of free-living cats, and compared the efficacy of the detection methods between contrasting environments.
