WHAT'S HAPPENING?
~R.I.P.~
Amy Yessian — aka "Mrs. Muffin," longtime supporter of LA songwriters
& music scene — on 11/02, of cancer
Marijohn Wilkin — Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer, gospel
singer, co-author of "Long Black Veil" — on 10/28, in Nashville
~CONDOLENCES TO JIMMY MUFFIN...AND A WAY TO HELP~
The SoCal music community, especially the songwriter circle, lost
a valuable member when Amy Yessian, aka "Mrs. Muffin," wife of Los
Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jimmy Muffin, lost a long battle with
cancer on Nov. 2. Amy and Muffin have been devoted supporters of songwriters
and the LA music scene for years. It's a huge loss, especially for Muffin.
A celebration of Amy's life will be held eventually. In the meantime, Muffin's
sister Elaine has respectfully asked that no flowers or mass cards be sent;
what is honestly needed is financial assistance. Amy and Muffin's insurance
was not enough to cover the overwhelming expense, and Muffin has been unable
to work since earlier this year because he was taking care of Amy full time.
Anyone wishing to help defray the staggering medical costs is gratefully asked
to send donations to Jimmy Yessian, 5719 Beck Ave., North Hollywood, CA 91601.
~HAPPY TRAILS
MOVES AND GROWS~
After 20 years, KXLU's Happy Trails radio show has moved to
a new time slot: the third Wednesday of every month, still at midnight, but
now running for two hours. The show continues to be overseen by producer Robert
Douglas and host Jana Pendragon. Listen in at 88.9 FM or http://www.kxlu.com.
Also, Pendragon and Douglas are compiling
archives of live recordings beyond Happy Trails or the station's Livation
show. Artists who have a song or songs they'd like to donate can do so care
of Pendragon, who says, "We are telling all of our guests to bring up any
live CDs — cuts or full projects. Time for some more twang."
~AMERICANA/ROOTS
ON LOCAL BOARDS~
Singer-songwriter Claire Holley wrote and recorded a handful
of traditional-sounding songs for Arlene Hutton’s play See
Rock City, which runs through Nov. 18
at Crossley Theatre (1760 N. Gower, Hollywood). The recordings, which were
produced by Holley and Don Heffington, feature Holley and LAmusicians
Tom Corbett, Dominic Genova and Cliff Wagner. For info about
the play, go to http://www.actorsco-op.org/.
~HINT: FREE HEALTH INSURANCE ADVICE FOR MUSICIANS
FROM FUTURE OF MUSIC~
The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Future of Music Coalition
has announced a health insurance "guidance program" for musicians called HINT,
or Health Insurance Navigation Tool. Per FMC, "To assist the wellbeing
of U.S.-based independent art and music curators, the HINT program will provide
information at the FMC website and will also offer free phone consultations
with experts to discuss affordable health coverage options available to artists
and musicians." Details: http://www.futureofmusic.org/hint
~COOL SITE: MILES OF MUSIC BLOG~
Our friends at Miles
of Music keep a humorous and informative blog whose most recent posts
ponder Gob Iron, Billy Joe Shaver's nuptials, clear Channel, Kinky
Friedman, Rat Fink, fish & chips, Jay Bennett, Jeff Tweedy,
and assorted other music-related matters: http://milesofmusic.blogspot.com

~HOUSE CONCERTS~
There’s a pretty decent house concert circuit for singer-songwriters,
Americana and world artists in Southern California. They offer intimate
musical experiences and, not coincidentally, are more practical and rewarding
for the artists on numerous levels. Here are some of the steadiest series:
Bodie House in Agoura Hills: http://www.bodiehouse.com
Live at the Bloomfield in North Hollywood: http://www.littlefriendmpg.com/latb/index.htm
Noble House Concerts in Van Nuys: http://www.jrp-graphics.com/noblehouse
Russ & Julie's in Oak Park: http://www.jrp-graphics.com/houseconcerts.html
Dark-Thirty Productions house concerts in Lakeside (near San Diego):

~NOTE TO AOL/NETSCAPE
USERS~
As
most of you with AOL and Netscape accounts
already know, we have difficulties getting updates to
you via email because AOL/Netscape too often mistakes them for spam and
bounces them back, even though everyone on the email list requests to
be
added
to it. Sincere thanks to the folks who've taken the time to complain to
AOL -- it's made a difference. But AOL has gone back to bouncing
emails, more often than not. In the interest of avoiding any
more hassles, PLEASE, if you have any other, non-AOL accounts
at
your disposal that can accept large text emails, use those instead.
Thanks.
