Les Paul, Thank You, from the Inventor of Rock and Roll

I got to admit this Kayak is trickier than I pictured. But don't you worry, this Robert can swim.

I just learned a very important fact about those endangered Capital Records echo chambers. These magnificent sound rooms were designed by Les Paul.

This is as close to a shrine as you get in the grimy record world of L.A. It deserves national monument status, not 93 condos.

Save The Echo Chambers

It just snowed, maybe my last snow day, but don't worry about this Robert, I just got a kayak.

Before I go hit the slopes, I must agree with an RIAA company for the first time this year. I think EMI should save the echo chambers in the Capital Tower. These echo chambers are unique, and they would be a loss to the world of music if their character changed.

SonyBMG Jives Clive

Well, well, is nothing sacred in the music biz. Clive Davis has been deposed as ruler of the SonyBmg kingdom.

It seems although his company is selling records, it's not making enough money to justify Clive's rumored 10 million dollar salary. SonyBMG realized by demoting Mr. Davis and canning his lieutenants, they could save money without emptying the building.

Now that the logic of removing the big salaries to survive has entered the major labels' thinking, I just wonder who's next?
