Recording Rap

I want to thank everyone for their votes. I will miss Peter Graves’s guidance and thank him for his hard work and caring about our Local to bring us to where we are today. At the AFM convention this past June so many people came up to me to let me know how proud they were of our hard work. Peter, I wish you the best and look forward to you hosting, as President of the Southern Conference, the meetings here in June. As we begin a New Year and new term of office I also look forward to working with our new President Cliff Walker and new Board Members.

In our last newsletter we published a picture of the Latin Grammy House Band. I am sorry that Paquito Hechavarria was not in the room to get into the picture. Someone told me he stayed in his tuxedo all day and I am so sorry to have omitted his name from the credits.

Once again, any recording musicians that feel they have a discrepancy in their Sound Recording Special Payments Fund check please call me. I will pull the contracts and send to them a missing claim form. There is also a missing claim form for the Musicians Secondary Market Fund (Motion Picture & TV Fund) Those checks are sent in July. Last but not least is the Japanese Royalty Payments Fund. The web site is www.jproyalties.org or raroyalties.org. Please call me if you have any questions that I can help with.

I’d like to welcome Peter Parente and Pedro Alfonso who work with Gloria Estefan and have just joined the Union. Until we speak again, wishing everyone a wonderful and safe holiday.
