Warners booked – waiting to hear on SONY

the reason why I am sending this is because I wanted you
to see that PARAMOUNT is really going to close down for
good – even though it has been not REALLY open anyway
– I am forwarding this to the AFM guys  – sick of this s***
man

IV. THROWBACK FRIDAY TO 2008 WITH A MEMBER
COMMENT

This was sent to us by a member…

The audacity. Tom Lee blacklisting RMA members? What
about the blacklisting of Local 47  members? When you
send the link to AFL-CIO President John Sweeny, make
sure you tell him the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
like the link to resp Comm 47.

What? You think musicians should be held to a
higher standard? Great! Get rid of ***** ******** who
can’t even play the triangle.

Hey, the RMALA is talking about intimidation by the
AFM and Tom Lee! Any one here at 47 have any
stories like that?

Sorry for being so blunt. This afmwakeupcall blog
site is a joke. It’s scary too. They want to get rid of
us second class musicians, but make it okay for
tone-deaf lawyers to be an honorary member.

“The present lawsuits directed at the AFM are just
the tip of the iceberg – only a first strike.”

Aw, heck…here’s the whole thing…

KELLAWAY/LANG at the Jazz Bakery

On Sun Sep 10 @ 7 PM, Roger Kellaway and I will be
performing a duo piano Jazz Bakery event at Zipper
Concert Hall, Colburn School of Music (details in the
links below…).

Roger and I have been dear friends and musical
compatriots for decades… and linked together on
so many of his projects. I’m very excited about
this unique evening Roger has designed…

It will be 2 pianos, bass and drums (with the
amazing talents of  Darek Oles and Peter Erskine!)

A jazz concert… with the centerpiece being a 30’
3-movement composition, “Many Moods of McCartney”
… with 10 songs of Paul’s, arranged and adapted by
Roger… (the occasion being the 50th Anniversary of
The Beatles… 😀 )

From my perspective, it’s a really unique, challenging
endeavor, and there will be individual moments for
us and other cool stuff…

Here are some links… and the Jazz Bakery website
offers an email “mailing list” to inform of all its events…
