A Board Meeting was held on September 9, 1970, a rescheduling of the previous week's meeting which was cancelled "ue to the lack of a quorum. ~ .' ---. -- ~- Meeting was called to order by President Jarod Clark at 8:40 p.m. on September 9, 1970. Board members present were President Clark" Treasurer Todd Carnes, and past President Gordon Osser. The resignation of Jim Elfers as editor of the Bulletin was presented by Jarod Clark. A motion to accept the resignation was made by Osser, seconded by Carnes. Motion was carried. The resignation of Doug Hickling as trustee was presented by President Clark. Motion to accept the resignation was made by Osser, seconded by Carnes. Motion was passed. Ginny Billings was nominated for editor of the Bulletin by Osser, seconded by Carnes. The Board passed the nomination. Under the by-laws, Bob Cherney is eligible for Board membership since he has paid his active membership dues. He formally accepted membership on the Board. Bob Billings was also eligible for Board membership but he declined on the grounds that his wife was already a Board member. The following names were presented to the Board by Bill Knorp for honorary membership in our organization: Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Friml Allan Bier Mme. Germaine Schnitzer It was moved by Osser and seconded by Carnes that they be accepted as honorary members. Motion passed. The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

(The following report is not intended to be minutes in the usual sense, but to those members and associate members not attending the AMICA meeting on September 9, 1970, something has to be said to explain what happened between the end of the Board Meeting and the beginning of the extraordinary membership meeting with Frank Loob as Chairman.)

It was decided that.. AMICA' s main problem was inadequate by-laws which did not define the duties of the various officers adequately, and a mushrooming membership. The best action was felt by the membership to be the dissolving of the Board of Directors and the writing of a new set of by-laws to reflect the needs of the organization. Gsser moved that the Board of Directors be dissolved. This motion was passed unanimously by both the Board and the membership. Jared Clark then asked for nominations for Chairman to conduct an election for an interim Board, and Frank Loob was the unanimous choice of the membership. After he took over the position of Chairman, he asked Dsser to take the minutes which follow:

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT

One of the most important things that we as club members and ac~ive people must deal with is change itself. Our environment and our daily lives are affected by changing conditions and the impact of these changes on our friends and fellow club members.

The current change in your Board of Directors and the people involved with these changes in our club is only one evidence of our tremendous growth and ever-increasing scope of action in the AMICA relations with the present, and the future problems generated with this growth.

''1 the aftermath of this past year of unprecidented growth, our by-laws and methods of club government proved to ) unwieldy. Therefore our members have determined on a new course of direction and government.

As your President for this interim period of re-establishment of club directions and goals, I want to say that we are entering a period of new growth and want to establish as soon as possible a new foundation on which to build for the future.

We will soon have our club incorporated so that we may take advantage of modern business methods and processes for our development. We will have new by-laws so that the club may deal better with the far-flung membership, and thus insure our continued growth toward these goals. We will have a more vigorous and more dynamic club, with a new· sense of direction pointed toward the future.

I wish to say that every new member and every old-timer in the club who has any ideas, thoughts, criticisms, or anything at all that could be construetive, should feel free to communicate with.me and with any member of our Board of Directors. I hope that each of you will do this, and I hope that you and I as members will look back a year from now and agree that the changes were indeed good for us, and especially for our club. For the club is only as-strong as the chain of" individual members, and from what I have seen in our various meetings I am convinced that we have a strong chain of mutual needs and understanding. So let us go foreward together.

Frank Loob, Interim President of AMICA

"""""""""" 3 BYRON BELTS OllE OVER THE FENCE FOR"AMICA by Jim Elfers

~yron Belt, nationally syndicated "'Critic-at-large," was first interested in AMICA and its field of interest by .,. .is friend Dick Reutlinger (a Founding Member, and now· our Membership.:Secretary) , who gave him one 'of our bulle'1-, ~·and.asked that I send the "From Carillon' to Ampichron" article to him. Byron's response reads, in part:

"Tha.nk you 60Jt ~encUng .60 much. .in60JuntLti.on .60 pllomp:thj a.6J:vt TUc.htvtd Reu:tli.ngeJi.

Byron did attend the convention, and apparently had a ball for himself. (Incidentally, it was he who guffawed during the "Liebesfreud" in the Saturday afternoon concert, but this was motivated not by Reginald Stewart's fine recording or its performance by the Welte-Mlgnon, Dut by the ridiculous Rachmaninov transcription. To be honest, it took me a while during rehearsals to determine that it was not a tracking problem that was causing those horrible sounds to eminate from the instrument.) We found Byron's company delightful, and are indebted for the fine article which subsequently appeared across the country. The reprint following is from the Sunday, September 6 edition of the Long Island (New York) Press, but I also received a copy from the Thursday, September 10 Vallejo (California) Times-Herald, headlined "Those Old Piano Roll B1ues~Are In Tune With The Times." With the clipping, Byron sent.a letter containing these comments:

"1\.6 you. w,{11 nocce«, .thvr..e Wa..6 no a.:ttempt to wJL.U.e a tec.hrU-c.a.l piec.e; U wa-6 oniJj ~n~en.d.ed to enteJtt.iLLn and pO-6.6~bR.y h160JUn -U1 an eaAtj manneJt. 16 thfl,'te aJr.e any -6 eJLioU6 6aUua.1.. boo-boos , jU6~ blame it on the 6ac.t that 1 WM having too good a time to be a gJteat ltepollteJL!

For an "outsider" (if Byron can ever again be considered as such), the article is amazingly accurate, and crams a great deal of highlights into the space while remaining of interest to a wide variety of his readers. Its service to our by-law objective of "educating the public" is inestimable. There are certainly no major flaws, and the minor ones could only concern the most nit-picking of enthusiasts. Unless I'm mistaken, that would describe ME, and I am more than willing to waive objections to the "three concert grands" that performed in my concert. I will choose to think it was the accoustics of the hall or the splendid performance of Gil Kuykendall's Steinway and my Baldwin and Weber (all comperable to 5' 6" instruments) that hoodwinked a professional music critic into supposing they were concert grands (I'm told 7' and beyond qualify). More likely, it was the fantastic job Sally Lawrence did in presenting a perfect convention, and the wonderfully happy spirit pervading it that made everything seem larger than life.

DR. GEORGE AND SUSIE COADE TO IITURN ON II PHILIPPS PAGANINI FOR NEXT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MEETING

Our next meeting will be Saturday, October 10, at 4 pm at the home of Dr. George and Susie Coade, in Carlsbad, California. To help you know the Coades better, here is a brief introduction. George and Susie are both out of-staters from Chickasha, Oklahoma and Chicago, respectively. They met in Los Angeles in a church group after both had finished their educations. One of their early dates was a concert at the Wilshire Ebel1, where Tushinsky was playing his Vorsetzer in concert.

George is a radiologist in practice at Oceanside. His alma mater for undergraduate and medical school was the University of Chicago. After a 3-year radiology residency at Indiana University, he served two years in the Navy at Long Beach, California, as a deep sea diving medical officer, and he has resided in the Los Angeles area ever since.
