Steve Martin’s contract rider.  To me, anyway. 

From NPR, a nice tribute to an underappreciated artist.

cool guy, this.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame.  Running on HBO this month (and surely to be released on DVD) it’s an utterly amazing lineup of talent, including Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkle, U2, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne, John Fogerty, Tom Morello, Aretha … the list goes on and on.   The music is fresh, the performances are solid.  Maybe I’m not so old. 

I’ve worked with nearly half the acts on the show over the years.   Dig it!!

Little Anthony & The Imperials, seen by many at the 2008 Maine Lobster Festival, will be featured in the HBO cablecast of the 25^th Anniversary of the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame on Sunday, November 29^th.

Yes, it’s been too long.  Excuse?  Busy.  Nuff said.

Entertainment Resources is enjoying some very interesting changes which could also be classified as “downsizing.”  Maybe it was foresight, perhaps bum luck, but I adjusted to the coming recession quite adroitly (if I do say so myself) and the fact that revenues for my company are way down, expenses are, too.  Some of the growth that we saw between 1990 (when I stopped performing) and 2007 was never seen as sustainable.

But the core mission remains, and there is much to celebrate!

OK, here’s a demo for you.  A Finnish rock group called the Leningrad Cowboys are singing a song by Queen, backed up by members of the Red Army.  Believe it!

“The Cellist of Sarajevo” is a moving account by Maine pianist-composer Paul Sullivan.  Worth the read!
