Charity Music, Inc. Appoints General Dynamics Retiree Roger A. Fachini Sr. as President/CEO

Michigan based Charity Music, Inc. has appointed Roger A. Fachini as President/CEO. "Mr. Fachini's extensive business, and community service background made him the ideal candidate to head up our Musical Instrument and Concert Ticket Donation Programs," stated Director Dennis Lietz.

(PRWEB) December 26, 2005 -- Michigan based Charity Music, Inc. has appointed Roger A. Fachini as President/CEO. "Mr. Fachini's extensive business, and community service background made him the ideal candidate to head up our Musical Instrument and Concert Ticket Donation Programs," stated Director Dennis Lietz.

Charity Music Inc. based in Sterling Heights Michigan, provides Musical Instruments on loan, at no charge, to individuals wishing to explore their hidden Musical talents.

In February 2006, a unique Musical Instrument Donation drive entitled "Notes of Appreciation" is being conducted throughout Michigan to benefit the spouse and dependants of those currently serving on active duty in our Military, with similar drives scheduled for various states throughout the year.

"It is indeed an honor and privilege to be involved on the ground floor of this innovative and worthwhile effort" stated Fachini.

The Musical Instrument Donation Program was first implemented in 1995 as a fund raiser for the Macomb Symphony Orchestra located in Clinton Township Michigan, and has since evolved into Charity Music, Inc., with volunteers currently in over 25 States, and planned expansion calling for (50)volunteer chapters throughout the United States in 2006.

Charity Music, Inc. has no paid employees, and is a 100% volunteer run organization. In addition, it does not sale any of the donated musical instruments.

Instruments are repaired as needed and included in the instrument loan program.

Donated Vintage instruments are restored and used in the International Collectibles Exhibit (aka ICE). The exhibit is made available at no charge to organizations wishing to display the vintage instrument collection to the general public at no charge, as a community service.

Operating expenses are covered by the sale of donated concert and sporting event tickets, with most donations coming from season ticket holders. Income is also generated from the sale of donated collectible items in the Charity Music, Inc. eBay store, which at present is selling a Mercedes Benz automobile with an INXS license plate for around $38,000.00.
    
In addition to music books and sheet music, the organization is always in need of any and all donated musical instruments, regardless of age or condition.

"Volunteers are an Instrumental part of our program, and the Key to our future," added Fachini.

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 14, 2005 -- Medium21 announces that the company will be taking an important sponsorship role at the 2005 Radio Music Awards with Aces.com (a subsidiary of Sportingbet, PLC). This year's annual event will be held on December 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The official award bag will be given to presenters and nominees over the weekend backstage at the RMA’s.

Thought of by the music industry as the Golden Globes of music award shows because of its casual party-style, this year promises to be even bigger than last according to industry executives. The Radio Music Awards celebrates the popularity of musicians on radio stations nationwide. The selection of nominees is based on the amount of radio airplay the artist receives over the year.

"It's an honor for Aces.com to team up for this exciting event. What better way than to celebrate the end of the year in radio entertainment and the opportunity to show what Aces.com is all about in Las Vegas...winning!" says Marketing Director, Alex Czajkowski for Aces.com

One person is going to be part of a win/win situation by coming out on top of the bidding action.

Podcast Music Wizard Release & Approved Music Partners Network Created

 
PodcastSPOTS News: Podcast Music Wizard Release & Approved Music Partners Network Created

We had feedback that it was tough to use our prior software, and we agreed.  So we went back to the drawing board and built a Podcast Maker from the ground floor up; and what we just released, I think is the best Podcast Recording software out there! 
 
The Podcast Music Wizard lets you drag n drop Songs, Promos and Sponsors from our site to a new podcast.  You can also add Segways, Effects, and Interviews with ease.  Just use the Record Button and it adds a new part to your podcast.  Use it to add as many parts as you want.
 
If you are already registered in our database as a podcaster, when you install the wizard, add the word NEW to the end of the RSS feed field on setup, or else it won't let you install.  Then I'll manually make the correction to the database.
 
In addition, we created the Approved Music Partner Network, where only approved Music Partners can unlock the episodes they create.  As an Approved Music Partner, you'll get the unlocked version of the Podcast Music Wizard for free.  We'll be charging $100 for this in the future, so, if you're interested, I hope you don't wait.
 
In addition, Approved Music Partners get Priority Cross-Promotion through our network.  Each episode created with the Podcast Music Wizard, requires the insertion of an Approved Music Partner's Promo (Those promos are highlighted on our Promo Charts, making it easy to drag n drop to your podcast)
 
Our vision with the Approved Music Partner Network is to grow to be the largest, most prominent music podcasters on the planet.  We already have over 40 registered podcasters. Together, with each of  their Pod Plugins offering songs for sale on their sites, we aim to become the greatest music resellers on earth, responsible for generating the most revenue that goes directly to artists.

If you know someone who wants to join us in this vision, please pass this on to them.  Our Podcast Music Wizard is just one of the things we are doing to make it easy to help our artists earn what they deserve.

And, if you are podcaster, passionate about helping artists earn what they deserve, I expect you will be joining us and we look forward to having you on our team..
 
Here is a link to the video tutorial on how to use the Podcast Music Wizard.

A side note: We would really be thankful if you can pass this following paragraph on to artists you may know ...
 
"Artists who want to gain even more exposure for their songs, have a unique opportunity in that PodcastSPOTS is looking for artists who want to include 1 minute of their song in the background of commercials for sponsors. If you have a song on PodcastSPOTS, you can create a commercial for a PodcastSPOTS sponsor, put your song in the background and, at the end of the commercial, identify the background song, and state that it is for sale through PodcastSPOTS. As each episode created by podcasters in PodcastSPOTS' Approved Music Partner Network, requires the inclusion of a sponsor, this is a great chance for your songs to get additional PodPlay. Interested artists should send an email to contact@podcastSPOTS.com"

Thanks,
Mark Kanter
co-founder PodcastSPOTS
