Hello Irwin & Jazzbo-denheimers!

Just pased through Cranford recently. The place is still the quaint yet bustling small town it always has been. It has undergone some changes since the last time I came through there. Haven't had the good fortune of spotting Mr. Bodenheim at his favorite haunts, however. Will try too keep a keen eye out for him next time I'm there, hopes kept to a minimum. It should be noted that Gus' hometown is but a stones throw down the Raritan commuter rail line from Charles Addams' own hometown of Westfield. Speaking of which, I feel obligated to bring attention to a monthly festive event taking place there:

Steely Dan was ubiquitous on AM Top 40 radio in the 70's, and on FM AOR stations from the 70's into the 80's. That's how I was first acquainted with their music. Bought a copy of the "Hey Nineteen" single in 1980. Then I bought Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" album in '82, which, imo, stands up well against his work in Dan.
Kind of disappointed that Bob Brainen no longer plays SD anymore. The last things Bob played that was Dan-related were tracks off the recently released comp of pre-Dan recordings from 1969.

I like to say every FMU-J is a World.
Truth is ...there's a good %age of those Worlds where I am not welcome - don't feel comfortable - &/or am not interested in them.
Obvsly - there is quite a range of these Worlds - some I absolutely love - & am most welcomed.
In fact there are more Worlds here than I have even been to...
My other analogy is FMU Programs are Parties in different Rooms in some very large building ...Rent Parties as it happens...
But I digress...

i suppose it depends on who you talk to about wht it means to be "band manager". Most folks view the job as being simple and pedantic But, in fact, the position demands much of the one assumiing it:
Negotiations with the record labels production companies in charge of tour arrangements & contacing participatiig venues
Signing contracts & runners & appointing notaries for certification of both, etc.
