This year’s version of North America’s premier touring guitar festival features guitarists from South America, Italy, England, and the United States. American “guitar poet” Brian Gore’s playing contains a “bounce and spaciousness all his own” (Los Angeles Times). He created International Guitar Night in 1995 and has released multiple albums and books on fingerstyle guitar. Italian steel-string guitarist Pino Forastiere fuses the classical, contemporary, and rock genres as he “employs a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping, strumming, altered tunings, and harmonics, combined with classical phrasing and a focus on distinct and addictive melodies” (Guitar Player). English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes has developed a multifaceted repertoire of sound in his short but successful career, fusing Celtic, rock, jazz, and experimental music to create a product all his own. He has gained praise from artists like Gotye, Frank Turner, and Justin Hayward.

News You Can Use • Riverwest, Harambee and The East Side Vol 13 Issue 8 August 2014 The Riverwest Food Pantry - A Loaf of Bread, a Can of Beans and So Much More by Peggy Schulz The motto of the Riverwest Food Pantry is, “Not by bread alone.” Those four words capture the operation of the pantry, in that it strives to provide as broad a selection of fresh, prepared and canned food as possible. The motto also speaks to figurative and longer-term objectives to improve the quality of life of the pantry’s clients. Because “food insecurity” is so pervasive in Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, the immediate need for the pantry – to fill emergency gaps in a family’s food supply – likely won’t be going away anytime soon. But the pantry’s director, Vincent Noth, has broader goals. They include addressing the root causes of food insecurity, looking at the types of food that frequently come through the pantry and improving the diets of the pantry’s guests.

  • Paul Cebar's Milwaukee

    Paul Cebar's Milwaukee

    May 30, 2004----- MILWAUKEE, Wis.--Paul Cebar has traveled all over the world in the pursuit of music. He just finished making field recordings in Mexico City. He played a battered nylon string guitar in Havana. He opened for Nick Lowe in London. But his soul has never left his native Milwaukee. Cebar is the bandleader of Paul Cebar and the Milwaukeeans, who formed in 1986 as an offshoot of Milwaukee's R&B Cadets. Cebar, 47, has since been a staple of the club scene in Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Few people understand what makes Milwaukee famous better than this adventurous native son. I've always liked Milwaukee because of the late 1950s "Laverne and Shirley" texture of the city. Milwaukee is a treasure trove of funky bookstores, used record stores, vintage clothing shops, neighborhood bars and old world restaurants. I asked Cebar how the city retains its retro qualities. "We don't have enough money to rip it all down," he cracked during a daylong tour. "It's a working class town. It can't quite put on airs, it's a down-to-earth situation here." Any given day begins at Cebar's apartment in the East Town neighborhood, several blocks northeast of downtown. His nine-room, fourth floor apartment is packed with 14,000 albums, 2,000 45s, hundreds of music books and several guitars. "A place like this (circa 1906) becomes a bargain because of walk-up status," Cebar cracked. "Eight flights of stairs." One entire room is lined with African, Brazilian, Latin and gospel albums.

    PAY YOUR DUES at the UNION a History of the Union

    , August 27, 1981 Sweet Potato Advertisement from PAY YOUR DUES AT THE UNION A History of the Union Bar Prepared for Prepared by Minnesota Blues Society Penny A. Petersen Charlene K. Roise December 2015 Hess, Roise and Company The Foster House 100 North First Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 Note: The building that housed the Union Bar is located at the intersection of East Hennepin and Central Avenues Northeast. Both street names are used interchangeably in primary sources that refer to this site, but the address of the Union Bar is most commonly 507 East Hennepin. For the sake of consistency, this account will use East Hennepin for the building numbered 505–507 and Central Avenue Northeast for the building numbered 509–513, even though the name “East Hennepin” was not adopted until 1913. 1852 James Sargent Lane, age nineteen, settles in Saint Anthony. There, he joins his older brothers Silas and Isaac, who had arrived in 1848. The brothers work in the lumber business.1 The Lane brothers were born in New Brunswick, Canada, although both their parents are natives of Maine. Their father, Silas Nowell Lane, a veteran of the War of 1812 and a lumberman, moved to Canada, continuing to harvest the pine forest across a national border.2 1855 The Lane brothers are joined in Saint Anthony by their parents, Silas and Velona (or Velma in some sources), and younger brother, Leonidas.3 1856 By this year, the entire family lives on a parcel of land at the corners of Fifth Street, Bay Street (present-day East Hennepin), and Mill Street (present-day Central Avenue Northeast).

SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY For the convenience of the Board, RLI provides this brief overview of the main points of its rebuttal testimony, all of which supports RLI's designation here as a competing Designated Agent with Direct Accounting, Royalties, Payment and Audit Rights ("DARPA") from the statutory licensees. I. Benefits of Competition Ronald Gertz, the President and COO of RLI, will rebut statements made during the direct case and provide evidence supporting RLI's designation as a Designated Agent with DARPA and particularly of the fact that the benefits of Competition and freedom of choice for royalty recipients under the statutory license, which SoundExchange denies, are manifest.
