Things have been heating up for the CSI cast members on and off the set. It was reported that Gary Dourdan, who portrays Warrick Brown on the highly-watched drama series, is currently going out with Lisa Snowdon.

It may pain many of Dourdan’s female followers to know that not only is Snowdon an English supermodel, she is also an actress, a television presenter and a singer. As if that wasn’t enough to make Snowdon the “Total Package,” she has also appeared in numerous fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Cosmpolitan, and has modeled for several lingerie lines.

Music education, in some form, goes back as far as education itself. While sometimes struggling for legitimacy, it nonetheless has had its champions. More recently, as technology has flourished within education, technological applications designed specifically for the teaching of music have been developed. While much of this technology is designed primarily for the classroom there are programs designed for the student to utilize in the home, albeit limited to those students with a home computer and internet access.

The Harlem Globetrotters is an exposition basketball team that fuses athleticism and comedy. In 1926, it was instigated by Abe Saperstein in Chicago, Illinois, and the team adopted the name Harlem because of its association as a major African-American community. Over the passage of time, they have played more than 20,000 exhibition games in 118 countries. The team’s signature song is Brother Bones’ whistled version of “Sweet Georgia Brown” and Globie has remained to be their mascot since 1993.

Avoid Getting Sued for Playing Music for your Business

April 27th, 2010 by admin under music. No Comments.

If you are a business owner or manager and are currently playing music in your venues or considering implementing music on hold, you need to be aware that the music you use must be licensed, or it will be considered illegal use of copyrighted music. If caught, you could be facing steep fines or possible legal action. The music industry is coming down hard on businesses that are unaware of or disregard proper licensing of copyrighted music, as is evident by a recent series of crackdowns on over two dozen venues in Seattle who failed to pay royalties on music they were playing. (ASCAP) The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, says that these venues have been performing copyrighted music without permission. ASCAP is now actively going after local businesses that have not been paying to use copyrighted music. According to their web site any music that is played outside a direct circle of family and friends is considered a public performance; this includes restaurants playing background music or commonly known as in-store music, DJs and music on hold over phone lines.
