It’s a new year with new scales.For the first time in my memory, therevised casual wage scales will gointo effect on January 1st for a peri-od of two years. This is a changefrom April 1st, which has been theeffective date in the past.

This change was made to coincidewith the distribution of the Mem-bership directory and to hopefullyavoid the confusion of when newscales will go into effect. You willsee that the new scales will be ineffect for a period of two years.

As in the past, the scale pagesbreak down Basic Scale, 15% Pay-roll, Pension, Work Dues and finallythe amount that must be paid to themusician if pension is not con-tributed on his/her behalf and themusician is paid without goingthrough a payroll service.

Computation tables for CasualClass AA, A, B and Ballroomengagements are once again pub-lished for your convenience.

On page 5-18, there is a sampleletter requesting “The Magnifiers”

perform for a Dr. Watson’s daugh-ter’s wedding, on page 5-19 is aContract for the engagement, onpage 5-20 there is a Work DuesReport based on the contract and onpage 5-21 there is a LS - 1 Reportallowing Mr. Holmes to pay pensionon behalf of himself and his musi-cians.

New to this book, page 5-22explains the LS -1 FORM, its pur-pose, how it differs from a partici-pation agreement and how it works.“Let’s Fill It Out”, when used in

conjunction with the Sample LS-1form, outlines where each of thenecessary items must be entered.

Page 5-24 contains an explanationof “Quickfile”, who to call to useQuickfile and what information youwill need when calling in a Quick-file.

I hope that these pages answersome of the questions you may haveregarding scales, contracts andreports.

Have a healthy and prosperousNew Year.

CFM MusiciansByRuthMarionTobias

Dick Sarlo and I had such ariotously good time over lunch remi-niscing about our work and col-leagues in “the Biz”, I almost forgotour purpose: gathering informationabout him to let you know about thissuccessful, talented bandleader,singer, saxophonist, show producerand hotel general manager. His firstemphasis, however, was, “I alwayswas in the right place at the righttime, I guess, but I never did it alone.The secret to success is always theguys in the band behind you.” As it issaid, “amen to that.”

In a long career, he was able to jug-gle all of these facets simultaneously.He played a warm tenor and sangwith equal warmthall around Chicago-land and impressedthe likes of AlbertPick, then the newowner of the Con-gress Hotel. ThePick affiliationbegan when theSarlo trio, com-prised of DuaneThamm on drums,Lino Frigo on accor-dion, Dick on tenorand romanticvocals, were playingin the BalineseRoom of the Black-stone Hotel. A mancame to the bandstand, said he wasbuying a hotel, liked Dick’s work andstage presence and wanted him towork for him. He left his card. (Dick’sdisbelieving remarks to his men wasthe equivalent of “Right!. Can youbelieve this guy!”).

Following up on this lead, howev-er, Sarlo was amazed to find the Pickenterprises filled five floors of theCivic Opera Building. He wasreferred to Dick Shelton who firstrequired him to work two clubs inRock Island and Davenport for briefperiods. There, a heckler taunted thetrio working behind the bar. Finallyfed up with him, Sarlo, while play-ing, stepped onto the bar andmarched along it, “accidentally”kicking the heckler’s drink all overhim. Dick was oh, so sorry. But themove gathered a following! “Walkingthe bar became ‘my thing’”, Dicklaughed. “Everyone picked up theirdrinks and cleared the ‘track’, and I’dwalk along the bar. I had an act!”

Then Shelton put the group intothe Glass Hat Room of the Pick-Con-gress as the relief band, Saturdayafternoons, and Sunday and Mondaynights. Dick gained the increasingrespect of Albert Pick who invitedhim to learn the hotel business, start-ing at the bottom in the laundry,bussing tables, waiting tables, roommanagement. In a short time, heknew every facet of the operation. His30-year association attests to learninghis craft, producing corporate showsfor the hotels 23 other propertiesaround the country, and playing theroom full time as of 1962.

“I always had such a desire to

make it, And things just came myway”, he marveled.

“Then I was asked to bring in aband for the revival of the VillaVenice (in Northbrook) to back EddieFisher; it was great. Fisher asked for alot of things and I tried to get whatev-er he wanted. I thought it was part ofmy job. Then Sammy Davis, Jr. camein, preceding the rest of the Rat Packand saw what was going on. He toldme to just be myself and not to caterto the stars. I was worried about Sina-tra’s take on me and Sammy said justbe yourself. He’ll like you.

“When we were testing out the newsound system, I was singing all myfavorite Sinatra tunes when Frank

and Dean (Martin)came in. We took abreak and the Packcame over. Sinatrasaid, ‘You sing, Sammysings, Dino sings and Ising. Somebody’s got toquit singing.’ And Isaid, ‘You could take iteasy, I’ll handle it.’ Itcracked everybody up;they liked it. Frankliked it. Those were thebest 11 or 12 days ofmy life. All my experi-ence came into playand Sammy told me Icould be a good showproducer.

“I had a big book of arrangementsLarry Faith wrote for me and after theVilla, lots of musicians were eager tobe on my band because of that terrificbook. I could always get the bestmusicians.” Dick still produces cor-porate shows around the country.

* * * * *Dick is from Melrose Park, Illinois,

and wanted to play saxophone as ayoung boy. His father bought him abaritone but he wanted a tenor. “Somy father found a steel worker, ablack man who bought the bari and Igot a tenor. The man offered to teachme for 50 cents a lesson and he reallygave me a good background. Then Istudied in Proviso High School withMr. Talmadge.

“Right out of high school, I wantedto be in the Navy in the motor divi-sion, but “they put me in the bandand made me a Marine. I met BuddyRich, Vido Musso and (composer andNBC conductor) Ivan Ditmar. I was inthe Halls of Montezuma Orchestraand Ivan really groomed me.

“At one point, I had the opportuni-ty to go with Bob Crosby and thoughtthat should be great. We went overseas to Guadalcanal and Peleliu(Island) and, jeez, we almost got sentto Iwo Jima.” It seems Crosby buggedout in short order. “I’ll never forget,he said ‘they are sending some backto the States—me!’”. Dick and therest of Crosby’s group were left to thetrenches for active warfare.

Home from the war, Sarlo beganworking “the joints”: SportsmanLounge (where there was a fightevery night), the Wishing Well next

2004!!!Happy New Year. Did you have agreat Christmas holiday? We hope so.Eat too much? I did!. Send all yourgreeting cards? I didn’t. Finallystopped doing that, I now phonefolks instead.

WONDERFUL LISTENINGFRANK D’RONE’s “Quietly There”with his beautiful vocals backed byBOBBY PERNA’s group, Persistance,from the album, “The Song is You”,(The band played live December 11and 18 at Pete Miller’s Steak House/Evanston)…JERRY COLEMAN’s“Nine-burner” album, “Jazz MakesYou Happy”…RED HOLLOWAY’salbum, “Coast to Coast”…and.RUSSPHILLIPS, “I’m Glad There is You”.Station WDCB plays that good jazzyou can hear on 90.9 FM from theCollege of DuPage.

IN TRIBUTEIn the recent CUBE newsletter, JANICE MIZURELL-MITCHELLexpressed heartfelt thoughts andremembrances of the late TED SHEN,the young music critic who, as shewrote, “always [was] promoting thework of new music groups, connect-ing composers and performers,ensembles with ensembles, serving asa linchpin for many of us.” She cred-ited Shen with establishing CUBE’spublic identity by promoting thegroup first in the “Reader” and thenin the Chicago Tribune. Mizurell-Mitchell continued, “He spoke of usin terms that helped us define our-selves, always encouraged us toexplore different kinds of music,especially the music of Asian com-posers. He connected us with othermembers of the press, introduced usto others in the city with missionssimilar to ours and helped us findways to develop relationships with

funders.” This young man will besorely missed.

Cube’s fourth annual South LoopSpring Festival of New Music will beheld Saturday, March 13, 7:30 PM,Columbia College Concert Hall, 1014S. Michigan Avenue; Saturday, April3, 7:30 PM, Grace Episcopal Church,637 S. Plymouth Court; and Friday,April 30, 7:30 PM at Sherwood Con-servatory of Music, 1312 S.

KOBER KUDOSA portrait of DIETER KOBER byJULIA ELKMANN, appeared in aNovember publication, SaechsischeZeitung, one of the largest of its kindin Germany and Saxony. Entitled“Music as Elixir of Life”, Ms Elk-mann writes from the city of Rade-beul where Kober has made one ofhis homes for the past l0 years. Shetraces his life’s itinerary from Posen(now Poznan, Poland) to Halberstadt,where he trained as a cellist andpianist to the United States at 16years of age. After serving in the U.S.Army and subsequently beingassigned to Military Intelligence atthe Pentagon in Washington, he fur-thered his musical studies in Nebras-ka and then at the Chicago MusicalCollege. He began conducting while amember of the University of ChicagoSymphony Orchestra.

In 1952 he founded the ChicagoChamber Orchestra, concentrating hisactivities here but visiting Germanyevery year. In 1989, he took his entireorchestra on a tour of East Germany.Dieter will return to the Cultural Cen-ter for his “Holiday for Strings” per-formance on January 4. He remindsus that “CHARLES PIKLER willreturn with me as violin soloist.”

MEMORABLE MEMORIALWhen PAUL GALLIS planned thememorial evening to honor the late,great “PORKY” FRANK PANICO atTONY SPAVONE’s Restaurant inBloomingdale in October, he pro-duced a winner. It was attended by avery large crowd and was graced withtalent from singers such as CAROLEMARCH, RON HAWKING, FRANKD’RONE, and musical selections fromJOHNNY FRIGO and JOE VITO. Gal-lis played a CD compilation of Pani-co’s CBS performances through theyears as background for a superbmeal. Each guest received one as aremembrance to take home. The acco-lades expressed recapping Porky’slong and fascinating career wereeventually brought to a close as Car-ole sang, “My Buddy” no one couldhold back the tears.

MORE FOND MEMORIESWith the recent passing of restaura-teur DON ROTH, many articles werewritten remembering his innovativefood and entertainment ideas. Fromthe rolling beef cart and “chuckwagon” dinners to the spinning saladbowl, dinners at the BlackhawkRestaurants were a true culinaryadventure. Imagine, 15-shrimp cock-tails! He was a champion of Chicagomusicians, featuring AL TRACE andhis “Silly Symphonists” (rememberMairzy Doats”?) billed as “The Hap-piest Band in the Land”, BEN POL-LACK (with BENNY GOODMAN andGLENN MILLER), KAY KYSER,LOUIS PRIMA, JAN GARBER, BOBCROSBY, JACK TEAGARDEN, TEDWEEMS (with PERRY COMO), LESBROWN, CHICO MARX (with MELTORME), CHUCK FOSTER, HARRYCOOL and EDDY HOWARD.

A gracious man, Roth became a leg-end in his own time, influencing andchanging the face of the restaurantbusiness and engendering loyaltywith his philosophy that “employeesare more important to me than cus-tomers.”

F.Y.I.Congratulations to the three newstring players in the CSO who rated amulti-page article by JON von RHEINin a recent Sunday Chicago TribuneArts Section. He explained in greatdetail how RONG-YAN TANG,WENDY KOONS and HERMINEGAGNE are managing the adjustment

“to life in the high-stakes world” ofthe renowned orchestra. As he wrote,“In a difficult economy when compe-tition is fierce for a relatively fewchairs that open up in the top orches-tras, they are among the blessed few.”* * * * *Drummer PAUL WERTICO is thesubject of an enthusiastic article byChicago Magazine writer STUARTROSENBERG (December issue). Hetakes the reader to Paul’s basementrecording/ teaching studio in hisSkokie home, “something of a shrinefor aspiring drummers students fromall over.” There are seven WerticoGrammy Awards to view and there isPaul, “putting final touches on hisfourth solo album, the first of a four-record deal with A440 Music Group.”It is due for early 2004 release. Paulhas played on more than 100 recordswhich include ten albums with PATMETHENY, four with jazz vocalistKURT ELLING and five each withtrumpeter BOBBY LEWIS and word-jazz pioneer KEN NORDINE.

* * * * * BRADLEY PARKER-SPARROW ofSouthport/Northporf Records rated a

“Local Heroes” seriesarticle by ANDYARGYRAKIS of theTribune. He told ofSparrow’s many-faceted career—stu-dio owner, jazzpianist and producer,construction contrac-tor and realty part-ner. “He has playedon more than 200recordings since1977, scored four fea-

ture-length films, written three full-length plays, two screenplays andlyrics for more than 100 songs” aprodigious body of work in the arts,but there is this other bent in realestate, building owning and main-taining that eats up what little timehe has left. However, he’s a 4 AMriser who thrives on cat naps. Ta-da!


CFM MusiciansContinued from page 3door. A patron insisted he go withhim to sing at the Chez Paree, “whichI never heard of, but my career wasflowing. I worked the CircleLounge—20 on, 10 off, with a guytiming you, 9 to 5 for $60 a week.”There were stints with Jimmy Palmeron the road, and Danny Casella at theNormandy Lounge next door to theAragon Ballroom.

“Seeing my friend, (drummer)Henry Riggs, playing with WayneMuir at the Congress I knew I had toget into hotel work. So nice, so easy.That’s when I went to see Lucia Perri-go at the Blackstone and she put usinto the Balinese Room.” Now take itfrom the top.

Cavalcade of Music Foundation

RECORDING MUSICIANS BEWARE !This letter is being sent with complete sincerity and is not intended to be

preachy or scolding. Rather, it is in response to numerous specific situationswhich cannot be detailed here but beg a proactive, vigorous change in attitudeamong recording musicians.

Since recording technology came into being, musicians have been asked toperform on demo sessions for various reasons, some for art's sake and some forprofit. The union has provisions for demo recording sessions, and many are filedproperly. Often times, however, the need for filing is not readily apparent, eitherbecause the client is a trusted friend, or it’s a demo reel for another musician, orwhatever. To avoid the extra expense of work dues, payroll taxes, etc., thesepersonal projects are often not filed. We have all participated in these sessions. Icertainly have, in my earlier years.

Now, however, because the quality of a demo is generally indistinguishablefrom a “final”, it is very easy for an outside entity to use a personal demo forcommercial applications. This is occurring routinely all over the world, in theU.S. and right here under our noses in Chicago with increasing frequency. Thesame rationalization that allows downloaders to copy 1,000 songs and claimthey are not stealing is the same used by entities who obtain recordings and usethem commercially without feeling the need to compensate the musicians onthese recordings. If no report was filed for a session at your best buddy's house,and that recording ends up on a commercial, on the radio, at a stadium or in aparking garage, you are not entitled to any additional compensation for a newuse. The union is powerless to force an entity to pay for a use when no reportwas filed in the first place. When you hear yourself on tv, or in an elevator, behappy with the “exposure” you're getting, because that's all you will get. A website featuring your accordion lick could get a billion hits, and you’d still getzilch.

Please, before performing on any recording for anyone, consider the fact thatthe minute that recording leaves the basement there are unscrupulous as well asjust plain ignorant people and institutions who will use your work for their profitin a heart beat. Without a report, you’re up, as it was said in “Boys From Syra-cuse”, an unsanitary tributary without proper means of propulsion.
