Warren, it might be of interest to you to know that I was on the point of a business venture with a man well known on the technical, staging side of the major music festivals of the 1960s in America. It was only in the nick of time that he showed me to be someone I would've had to dress down on the first night of the exhibition of the posters I had created. And this is someone who behaved fearlessly in the face of impossible odds to get a production onstage. Some people shouldn't touch alcohol; he's one of them!Jonnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880995305288978033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890840604465360033.post-3467120275973657822017-11-07T17:17:24.449-06:002017-11-07T17:17:24.449-06:00The AKSA also hired me to make a brochure for Shiv...The AKSA also hired me to make a brochure for Shivji. I generated a nice piece which he used for many years. In fact, about twenty years later I was in California and picked up a copy of a regional print magazine for the Indian community, and found an article on Shivji....which I recognized as my own work about two sentences in.<br /><br />One of many reasons I'm no longer in the music promotion business...Warren Sendershttp://www.warrensenders.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890840604465360033.post-10640262862563921362017-11-04T23:28:48.352-05:002017-11-04T23:28:48.352-05:00Warren -- It is great to hear from you.

It will be of interest that the Ameer Khusro Society of America stiffed me on the payment; it took me almost a year to get a check from them. Some of their other productions were terribly designed, looking like clumsy circus posters.Warren Sendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132690275990038547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890840604465360033.post-17394590489813348912016-08-12T10:26:56.981-05:002016-08-12T10:26:56.981-05:00Thank You Richard!
