New feedback on LVMA 9
With permission from the Morning Call (printed Dec. 19, 2007, page A8) and letter writer Martha Alber...
Local music awards are greatly appreciated
It was my privilege to be among the many talented musicians at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards held on Dec. 3rd at The Meadows in Hellertown. The Lehigh Valley is just booming with great talent. IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE SEEN THIS PAST YEAR, including the 1950's, hip hop, rap, folk and rock.
It was nice to see so many people out supporting local musicians. My many thanks to Ian Bruce for giving us something to look forward to, year after year. Congratulations to all the winners and to all the people behind the scenes. I'm a big fan. Martha Alber
i put in the caps for "best show...," it was real fine. ib

LVMA Code that we work at living by.
This means mucho to the buncho of our team.
I'm proud to have won quite a few LVMAs over the years. The Lehigh Valley is now, and always has been, loaded with talented folks. It is an honor to be a part of this artistic community and recognized by peers and people in this crazy business that is our passion. The LVMAs cover all aspects, not just the musicians but the people who make it possible for us to do our jobs -- from the music stores to the performance venues, the recording studios to the graphic designers, the sound and lighting technicians, and many others -- no one is overlooked. The LVMAs recognize these people and fill a void that no other media -- including local radio, tv, electronic or newspaper -- does in as rewarding a manner. Thanks for continuing to do this for all of us, it is greatly appreciated.
