two things (one bit of news, one request for assistance)

[Donna Halper]

Thing one:  if you are fans of the rock group RUSH, their original 
drummer John Rutsey just died of a heart attack.  He was only 
55.  When the band first came to the US in 1974, he was still with 
them, but even then he had terrible health problems (severe diabetes, 
for one, back at a time when it was much harder to take care of it 
than it is today) and had to drop out of the band as a result.  I 
felt sorry to hear he was gone-- I of course keep in touch with the 
members of Rush, and I will always remember that era when I 
discovered the band-- back when a music director like me could take a 
chance on a new band and actually break some new music...

Thing two:  A very nice GM from a Spanish station in Florida called 
me earlier today-- he didn't know me, but saw in the R&R Directory 
that my company markets music software-- which it still does.  But he 
asked me about something I couldn't help him with:  MusicMaster.  I 
haven't worked with it in ages.  Is there anyone on list who could 
walk him through a few things-- yes he speaks good English.  If you 
know MusicMaster and could answer a couple of his questions, contact 
me off-list and I'll give you his contact information.  Thanks.
