My father was a wise man in many ways, but he got it wrong when he sternly told me one afternoon while in my teen years, that rock n roll will never pay the bills! My devouring of artist biographies and books about music history seemed a waste to him, when there were text books gathering thick layers of dust in my room.
Giovanni Taliaferro, the Director of Memorabilia Design for Hard Rock International, gave a guided tour of music memorabilia tied to the Jackson family on Wednesday.
After 40-plus years of working in the music industry in a variety of ways as a publicist, album annotator, band manager, radio host/producer, night club DJ/Music Director, booking facilitator, and event management, etc. I have managed to pay the bills (mostly!), despite dad s warning.
