[Scorpion Media of Texas] GRAMMY Giving to the Gulf

The Recording Academy®

Texas Chapter

3601 S. Congress Ave. G-500, Austin, TX 78704

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEWS RELEASE

THE RECORDING ACADEMY® TEXAS CHAPTER AND ITS MUSIC COMMUNITY UNITE TO

BRING MUSIC BACK TO GALVESTON'S CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

GRAMMY® Giving Back To The Gulf Program To Replace Instruments Lost

During Hurricane Ike

Austin, Texas (November XX, 2008) — In light of the recent devastation

in Galveston, The Recording Academy® Texas Chapter will be holding

GRAMMY® Giving To The Gulf  sponsored by Gibson Guitars to replace music

equipment and instruments lost due to Hurricane Ike at Galveston’s

Central Middle School. The Texas Chapter will hold a statewide donation

drive for musical equipment, instruments and cash donations. The drive

will kick-off at the membership's Latin GRAMMY® Celebration in Houston

at House of Blues, with all proceeds from the event going to these

efforts. Donation drives will also be held in Dallas, San Antonio and

Austin to collect instruments and have them refurbished before

distributing to the school.

"When we heard that Galveston's Central Middle School lost all their

music equipment to Hurricane Ike, we knew that it would be our mission

to help," said Theresa Jenkins, Executive Director of the Texas Chapter.

"Putting instruments back into the students' hands is a big part of the

recovery and healing process for this community.

Three additional locations will be taking donations of instruments and

they can be dropped off at the following drive locations:

City:  San Antonio, Texas – Sam Ash Music, 25 NE Loop 410, Ste 110, 78216

Dates:             Thursday, November 20, 2008

Time:              Noon – 6 p.m.

City:              Dallas, Texas – Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave., 75206

Dates:             Monday, November 24, 2008

Time:              Noon – 6 p.m.

City:              Austin, Texas- The Recording Academy, 3601 S. Congress G 500, 78704

Dates:             Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Time:              10 a.m. – 8 p.m.

"The pursuit of music education both vocally and instrumentally requires the availability of instruments.  A child can not really learn to play the trumpet without a trumpet.  Hurricane IKE destroyed nearly a half a million dollars worth of the Galveston ISD inventory of musical instruments.  We lost baby grand pianos, band instruments and strings as well as our music libraries at Central Middle school.  We are deeply grateful to the Recording Academy and our fellow musicians in this time of great need.  All that you do to help our children will be remembered as they grow up and continue their involvement in music,” said Dr. Stephen F. Duncan, Director of Fine Arts, Galveston Independent School District.

Public Service Anouncement

Hello Everyone:

 

ACTN is partnering with the City of San Antonio Housing and Neighborhood Services Department, and Spurs Sports and Entertainment, to hold the 2008 Good Neighbor Initiative. It will be this Saturday, November 8th from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The initiative will focus on providing house painting and landscape services (limb cutting, cleaning yards, planting) for properties from Rio Grande to Onslow and from Gorman to Gulf Street.

 

The Spurs are recruiting volunteers from the community, and providing funding for tools/supplies/materials. A yet to be identified Spurs player will be in attendance. The City will purchase materials, secure contractors to supervise the projects, provide security and brush collection service.

 

The Spurs and the City have asked ACTN to help with securing volunteers from the local community. Our goal is to contribute 20 volunteers to the project. The Spurs are hoping to involve more than 200 volunteers from numerous groups.

 

I think it is important for members of the community to have a presence at this project, to show that we care about our own community. I am asking each of you to assist us with identifying volunteers that will join us on Saturday. We will be assembling at Tynan Elementary, 925 Gulf Street, beginning at 12 noon.

 

Whatever time that can be given on Saturday would be greatly appreciated. Please have volunteers call the ACTN office at (210) 212-2286 to confirm their attendance.

 

Thanks to all of you for your help with this matter & God bless.

 

ACTN (Antioch Community Transformation Network)

Thank you for your time & God bless.

Sincerely,
Elroy Miller

Scorpion Media of Texas signs exclusive publishing deal with Rudebwoy of Haitian blood.

 

Rudebwoy found his voice and started rapping at the age of 17. After graduating high school he joined the U.S. Army as a combat medic. Responsibility took the place of his dreams, but he never forgot them as he polished and honed his lyrical skills in the military. As music evolved, so did Rudebwoy. After completing his tour in the Army, Rudebwoy continued to expand himself mentally by getting his Associate and Bachelor degree in Psychology. He is currently working on his Masters in Social Work. With the hunger of the microphone never leaving his soul Rudebwoy now feels that the world is ready to hear what he has to say and in a big way, it's now time for RUDEBWOY to shine.

Travis Barker and DJ AM Critically Injured Learjet Crash 4 Dead

09/20/2008 2:00 PM, AP Page Ivey WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.. Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board. Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said. Two other passengers — Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician. ___ On the Net: http://www.djam.com/ http://www.gavindegraw.com/ http://www.blink182.com/

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.

Two other passengers — Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.

The plane was headed for Van Nuys, Calif. It is owned by Global Exec Aviation, a California-based charter company, and was certified to operate last year, Hersman said. The company said it had no immediate comment.

At the crash site Saturday, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane.

"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night. Event sponsor T-Mobile said their hourlong set ended at about 7:15 p.m.

The show, which included performances by former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell and singer Gavin DeGraw, drew 10,000 people into the streets of Five Points, the neighborhood near the University of South Carolina, Coble said.

Peter Kastis, Farrell's manager, said he and Farrell didn't find out about the crash until they arrived at the airport Saturday morning to find it closed.

"I just hugged them hello less than 24 hours ago. I wish I could hug them now," Kastis said.

One concertgoer said TRVSDJ-AM's performance was unique and different.

"It was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen," said Brett Flashnick, a freelance photographer who works for The Associated Press and attended the concert for a local newspaper.

Barker, 32, was one of the more colorful members of the multiplatinum-selling punk rock band Blink-182, whose biggest album was 1999's CD "Enema of the State," which sold more than five million copies in the United States alone.

After Blink-182 disbanded in 2005, Barker went on to form the rock band ( 44) — pronounced "plus forty-four." He also starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life. Their later split, reconciliation and subsequent break up made them tabloid favorites.

Goldstein is a popular DJ for hire who at one time was engaged to Nicole Richie.

He spun a mix of hip-hop and dance beats for the hottest nightclubs and had a string of dates set up for the next few weeks. He reached the peak of his celebrity perhaps during his highly publicized romance with Richie a few years ago.

DJ AM also dated singer/actress Mandy Moore, and while he became a gossip favorite for his romances, he drew respect from music aficionados for his DJ skills.

Barker and Goldstein performed as part of the house band at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
