I. COMMENT ON ROBERT’S STORY
Hello Editor!
One of our now deceased members once said…”one day you’re a star and
the next day you’re parking the car.” Except for those who have “gamed
the business” the moral of the story is CYA (Cover Your Ass)!
Is there anybody that can’t follow the dots from Universal to today? See
a YouTube interview with SD from 1994…Really a NON-musician put
into place by a selected few and made a fortune making the selected
few a fortune…
Sickening!!!
Hope all those who are trying to earn a living realize the gravy train is
over…even IF they get a retail call. CYA!
Member (asked to go Beck Status) Why not?

GLENDALE NOON CONCERTS

GLENDALE NOON CONCERTS will feature
Mandolinist EVAN MARSHALL.
Jacqueline Suzuki
Curator, Glendale Noon Concerts
818 -249-5108
Evan J. Marshall is an internationally renowned
mandolin virtuoso, and is widely regarded as
he world’s premier solo performer on mandolinin
Duo-Style. By himself, he sounds like several
of the world’s finest mandolinists performing
together. His stylistic signature is Classical,
with strong influences from the Italian and
American Folk traditions. Country guitar
legend Chet Atkins called Evan “A true
virtuoso, one of the few great musicians
of our time.”
Inspired by Atkins and violinist Jascha Heifetz,
Evan has created a uniquely recognizable
approach to solo mandolin performance that
combines bass lines, chords, rhapsodic runs
and tremolo melodies. He started Classical
violin studies at age seven, and added the
mandolin at age 14.
In addition to solo performances, Evan has
been a Featured Guest Artist in Pops concerts
with a number of Symphony Orchestras, including
Houston, Phoenix, Long Beach, Grand Rapids, Fort
Worth, San Antonio, Jacksonville, and Pensacola.
Two of his solo mandolin recordings have
been released by Rounder Records:
