| Music legend Kenny Gamble
gives props to Joe Kirsch
Music legend Kenny Gamble's son Caliph was producing a project to honor
his father on his 75th birthday. If you don't know who Kenny Gamble is, Philadelphia
International Records co-founders Gamble and Huff have written and produced over 175+ gold
and platinum records. Including Love Train, Back Stabbers, Me and Mrs Jones, Cowboys to
girls, I'll always love my momma, You'll never find, and tons more.
So I put together a short music piece and sent it over to him. It ended
up as the projects lead video on a compilation piece given to Kenny Gamble for his
birthday.
It's quite a feeling you get as a songwriter when somebody like Kenny
Gamble's son writes to you on Facebook and tells you: "...I'm blown away..."
Followed by a post of yourself and Kenny Gamble in the same Facebook frame! Jeeze... this
guy wrote the soundtrack to my life and was a tremendous influence to my music. SMH + OMG!

CONGRATULATIONS!! GINA Z NOMINATED
FOR DAYTIME EMMY!!
Really big congrats to our "old" friend and colleague Gina
Zdanowicz for her work and Emmy nomination for Nickelodeon's, NickJr, Block Party, Quest
for the Golden cube.
Gina, a composer, sound designer, and founder of Serial Lab Sound
( www.seriallab.com) does amazing things with music, effects, and special audio voodoo to
bring inanimate characters and virtual places to life!
I had once seen Gina in the midst of her sound design, with a
microphone in her hand, rubbing balloons across her face to create the voice nuances for
one of her little NickJr critters... Lol.
Her unique sound can be heard on over 100 game titles and her film
scores have premiered at film festivals throughout the world and on TV networks including
Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. She's also a Course-Author and Instructor at Berklee Music
online.
Gina and her Serial Lab resident guru Spencer Bambrick, a composer
and sound designer, whose music can be heard across various platforms from PC games, and
TV commercials, to iOS apps, short films, and concert music, are a unique creative team.
Keep your ears open and fingers crossed for Gina and Spencer on May
5th for the 46th Daytime Emmy Awards, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences (NATAS).

PRESS RELEASE:
by GreenPointMusic
BREAKING NEWS!
THE RICE MILLER BAND
"They're back baby!"
(A long distance return)
Download press release PDF file here
Visit the Rice Miller Band Page
Through the abuse of technology, the grace of the Gods, and some good 'ole
big Greenpoint balls and tenacity, GreenPointMusic is really excited to take four great
musicians from four different states and put them back together in the same
"virtual" room to bring you THE RICE MILLER BAND!
Throughout the 70s one of "Greenpoints own" favorite group of bad
boy, beer drinkin', blues bangin', rock & roll bands were these killer original
players, and totally cool guys, THE RICE MILLER BAND.
From headlining at CBGB's & MAX's, to tearin' it up at THE PARK INN, and
UMGAWA CLUB on Franklin Street, these guys were absolutely "the shit"!!
By 1975 the RMB consisted of Frank Galante and John Clarke on guitars, Jack
Bobby Lewis on drums, Frank Sanpietro on bass and vocals, Vinnie Minieri on harp, and Eric
Parker on keyboard.
In March of 2018 I got a call from guitarist John Clarke explaining how
"...he was thinking about arranging a project with some members of Rice
Miller...". However, for the players needed on this song, there was a bit of a
logistical catch:
"...the drummer's in Georgia; the guitarist's are in New Hampshire &
Michigan; and the bass player and lead vocalist is in Brooklyn..."
Well lately, with all of our old band mates and musician friends being
scattered all over the country, GreenpointMusic co-producer Carl Battista and myself have
become some sort of experts at producing "geographically challenged" bands and
musicians..lol
"...we've probably done more than a half-dozen of these long distance
sessions. Each presenting it's own stack of Olympic size hurdles. But in the end,
especially with all of the old time bands trying to get their legacy on 'tape', it really
makes us happy to see that smile on their faces, and hear them say 'holy shit' when it
finally comes together as if they were all in the same back room of that same old dive bar
again.
Just to be clear about this, although the RMB consisted of the six players,
this Savoy Brown cover tune only required some straight forward, guitar rockin', and
rhythm section grooves. Keeping that in mind, I wonder where this can go from here? What
about a full blown, all hands on deck, RMB reunion? A new record? Who knows. Drummer Jack
Bobby Lewis summed it up pretty good:
"....we thought of this as a one-off but something happened along the
way. I don't necessarily know where this is headed, but who knows what's next..."
GreenPointMusic is REALLY excited to bring you THE RICE MILLER BAND doing the
Savoy Brown cover, "Shot in the Head".
Please visit GreenPointMusic.com and follow the RMB links to DOWNLOAD THE
FREE MP3 FILE of the song for your IPods, media players, and smart phones.
Enjoy!! ...and long live good 'ole Rock & Roll!
