Janet Gola Anyone who has been reading Modern Drummer for the past five years CIRCULATION should certainly recognize the name Robyn Flans. Based in the Los Leo L.

Brown: So that was the last time we spent some time together. Marsalis: Had a couple of chalupas since then. Brown: I knew you had to get that in there. First of all, we reconnected just the other night over – Tuesday night over at the Jazz Masters Award at Lincoln Center. So, what did you think? Did you have a good time? Marsalis: I did, to be around the true legends and masters of jazz. It was inspiring and humbling, and they’re cool too. Brown: What do you think about receiving the award?

  • Since the Idea of Doing a Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Was Conceived By
    For over three decades, Whiskey River’s musicians have thrilled audiences all over the West Coast as America's number one tribute to the legendary southern-rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Re-creating the image and the music of the southern rock band that took the world by storm in the "70's. Whiskey River not only plays Lynyrd Skynyrd, they personify the group onstage bringing the audience back in time thirty years as they blaze through classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, The Breeze and their phenomenal note-for-note version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s "Live" guitar opus Freebird.

Thank-you. http://www.themjcast.com/episode-061-jonathan-sugarfoot-moffett-special/ The MJCast (Q): Hello, and welcome to the MJCast! I am Q, one of your hosts for today, and today we're interviewing one of Michael's most long-standing collaborators—potentially his most long-standing. The MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett worked with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons as their tour drummer starting in 1979 with the "Destiny Tour", and continued to work with them later for the "Triumph Tour", the "Victory Tour", Michael's 1988 Grammy Awards performance, the "HIStory World Tour", his "30th Anniversary" shows, and, eventually, "This is It". MJCast (Q): Not only did Jonathan Sugarfoot have the honor of collaborating closely with the Jacksons, but he has also toured with artists such as Madonna, George Michael, Prince, Elton John, and Lionel Richie. MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan, it's an honor to have you here on the MJCast how're you going? Jonathan Moffett: I'm doing pretty good—I've been doing pretty good. A little mistake in there—I'd never toured with Prince. I've worked in a studio [where] Madonna and Prince [were] on the same song "Keep it Together", so I've never toured. I don't want misinformation to get out there, so I've never toured with Prince, although he has asked me about touring with him, which never just came about because he was at a lot of the after parties at the Jackson shows, Elton shows, and cameo shows, and he'd speak to me and give me a combination of performance and he asked me about playing with him, but it just never happened.

  • Young Girl's Dairy, and Letter of Sigmund Freud,A
    A YOUNG GIRL'S DIARY Prefaced with a Letter by Sigmund Freud Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul CONTENTS FIRST YEAR Age 11 to 12 SECOND YEAR Age 12 to 13 THIRD YEAR Age 13 to 14 LAST HALF-YEAR Age 14 to 14 1/2 CONCLUSION PREFACE THE best preface to this journal written by a young girl belonging to the upper middle class is a letter by Sigmund Freud dated April 27, 1915, a letter wherein the distinguished Viennese psychologist testifies to the permanent value of the document: "This diary is a gem. Never before, I believe, has anything been written enabling us to see so clearly into the soul of a young girl, belonging to our social and cultural stratum, during the years of puberal development. We are shown how the sentiments pass from the simple egoism of childhood to attain maturity; how the relationships to parents and other members of the family first shape themselves, and how they gradually become more serious and more intimate; how friendships are formed and broken. We are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled to shoulder the burden. Of all these things we have a description at once so charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists.
