KAYAC Record Corporation Reunion Scheduled

 

Back in the seventies many of us recorded at Kajac Records, the Union recording studio located in Carlisle.  Now the Iowa/Midwest Country Music Heritage Museum is hosting a reunion reunion-jam session-party on behalf of Kajac at the Carlisle Community Building, 35 Vine St in Carlisle, off of Iowa Highway 5, on Sunday, July 16 beginning at 10 AM (and lasting until everyone is done playing, eating, and socializing).

Des Moines Symphony CBA Approved

 

Clarence Padilla, chairperson of the Negotiations Committee, has reported that the proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement for 2006-09 has passed in the mail-in election of orchestra members who are also members of the AFM.  In an era where many orchestras are cutting back on benefits and compensation, Des Moines Symphony members will receive raises of 3% in 2006-07, 5% in 2007-08, and 5% in 2008-09 – another outstanding job by the Committee, whose other members are Misha Rosenker, Sherida Josephson, Kathy Slocum, Jonathan Sturm, and Bret Seebeck.

Also passing was a request by the Orchestra management for Mediacom to broadcast the June 30 Yankee Doodle Pops concert and replay it on July 2 and 3.
