I. INDIE CONFERENCE DATE CORRECTION: OCTOBER 5-7! NOT FEBRUARY!

In our previous offering we erroneously reported that the upcoming
OCTOBER 5-7 Independent Music Conference was in February.
The text of the section was correct, the heading, reporting Feb. 5-7
as the dates was wrong.

The INDIE MUSIC CONFERENCE will be held at Local 47, OCTOBER
5-7, 2007!

We apologize for the incorrect dates of the previous mailing.

II. FI-CORE MUSICIAN RIGHTS – LOCAL 47 REHEARSALS

We’ve been contacted by several very concerned musicians about
their jobs being affected by Espinosa Administration policies.
That is ironic, since it’s the Espinosa Administration policies and
conduct that drove many musicians to choose fi-core status
to begin with.

I. VIDEO GAME MUSIC HISTORY: CLEARING THE AIR

We asked the AFM if they had done any research into the history
of this video game/recording in America situation. As it turns out,
they had, sometime before the last Convention. Certainly, since
the letters AFM appear in it the true-believers of the RMALA will
say it is bunk, but for anyone who is not an ideologue this should
be instructive and enlightening. And it will pretty much set the
record straight. Whenever you get the lock step propaganda from
the RMA, hand them this article and tell them to get educated.

We will have some comments at the conclusion of the report.
