M Hi LG - as we just discussed..sorry it's so long-winded - I'm sure you can edit verbally to size! I'm attaching an updated CV too in case you think that's a good idea. ***Where things stand in 2012 - - have contract w/ Oxford Univ Press to write first textbook in field, Cognitive Neuroscience of Music (complements first-ever course, started at Harvard in 90s, Music Mind & Brain - see www.BrainMusic.org/Education), looking for support that would provide time to complete text in 2013 side- by-side with - - "Why Music? Mind, Brain & Human Sociobiology" - signed w/ Kris Dahl of ICM Talent, NY Times best- seller agent (chose her over Brockman, Stroan). She says based on my track record (CV attached), pioneer status in field, public relations history, and not factoring in trade book and potential music boost (below), she expects six-figure advance - book tour in US and Europe expected after release "Why Music?" in 2014 - recorded song at Universal Music studios - co-wrote and performed (vocals, guitars) with "Hit-Boy" - Chauncey Hollis, producer/writer for Beyonce, Kanye West, Jay-Z, L'il Wayne (top secret at the moment); can You-Tube search Hit-Boy interviews and recent Top-10 hit "Niggas in Paris". - song passed two auditions at A&R, Universal Music publishing - Tom Sturges, Executive VP/Head of Creative sent to Lome Michaels for Andy Samberg and Lonely Island to do, but Samberg left SNL, LI broke up; then Assoc Director gonna pitched to Beastie Boys but lead Adam Yauch died; so "Prof T" is doing it with engineer/producer Stan Malveaux (regular at Universal, recently worked with Patti LaBelle, Janet Jackson's producers, many others). - n
