Happy New Year 2013!

We are starting with a bang!

We have less than 12 months to impress the world or bust!

In 1913… hundreds of disgruntled workers gathered together to stand against the industrial machine… they stood for what they thought was a small cause until the IWW showed them how important their demonstration would be.

Ink on Paper by Walter Eres

They stood for weeks with their hands in their pockets…a promise they made to keep from coming to blows.

They failed but ultimately, they changed the rules forever more.

I am attaching a snippet and a sketch of

The Waterfall Ballet is one of many beautiful works to come out Paterson depicting this very interesting story.

He was selected to create music for the Bi-Centennial history play of the the City of Paterson. The year was 1992. The classy music stands 20 years later as an upbeat groove for the cloudiest day! We are excited to have this recording of the music to share with the public.
