Of the 42 clubs in the district 33 pledged and contributed $128,735.35 to the Annual Fund out of $129,825.00 pledged.

  • A 70S Guitar Visionary and Genius Songwriter, LOWELL GEORGE S
    Xxx xxxx xx xxxx xxxxx xxx xx xxxxx , A 70s guitar visionary and genius songwriter, LOWELL, GEORGE of LIT TLE FE AT is rocks lost star. MICHAEL SIMMONS pays tribute. Y THE MID-1970S, BOB DYLAN AND THE ROLLING STONES were regulars at their shows. “The Stones so wanted to hang around him,” chuckles friend Van Dyke Parks. “They could tell he had the Tao of the blues.” Jimmy Page almost got thrown out of the Plaza Hotel in New York for blasting “my favourite American group…too loud”, while “Robert Plant loved ’em,” says Danny Hutton of Three Dog Night. “I remember after Robert had that accident, he was on crutches Bwith his foot taped up, and he was at a show! I said, What are you doing here? He said ‘I wouldn’t miss this for anything!’” “They” are Little Feat and “he” was their leader, Lowell George. By 1979, Lowell would be dead of a combination of cocaine, booze and over-the-counter medicines, the proverbial “jazz heart attack”. He left behind a wife, four kids and Little Feat, “a band of assassins” as top fan Jackson Browne calls them, who blended rock, blues, country, soul, funk, jazz and New Orleans with fi erce experimentation. Lowell was lead singer, possessed of unequalled honey-and-hot-sauce soul pipes. In a holy trinity of electric slide guitarists, alongside Duane Allman and Ry Cooder, he wrote/co-wrote some of the most memorable songs of the 1970s (Willin’, Truck Stop Girl, Sailin’ Shoes, Dixie Chicken, Easy To Slip) for a band in a parallel universe of their own design.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
