The perp is some nut who calls himself Rab Hines after an obscure character in a Scottish Novel. He runs a pirate music site on blogspot and has 'issues'. He spammed Jazz.com, Riff Tides and Howard's site but then bothered me..big mistake. I did forensic investigations on him, documented the story at my blog and made all the spam victims very happy. I'll link list you and you are welcome to do a piece about yourselves in Brilliant Corners. Bob Blumenthal has known me for decades. Oh I have.

God,getting any gin mill to do right will be a handful. The actual Bruno did a profile recently and cites Dave Liebman as one of his core teachers.

In fact, they are all prominent, hard working jazz musicians who simply want what's rightfully theirs--and the NY State tax break (that will pay for their pension) was legislation sponsored by the clubs themselves--over three years ago! We simply want the clubs to do what they said they would do in 2006. Your comment shows a decided lack of sympathy for these musicians, and a certain ignorance of the subject at hand.
