at the age of 19, i was voted chairperson of philadelphia songwriters forum, years later i was awarded a trip to L.A. from a top music exec and received honorable recognition for my work within the music industry. i helped launch the world's largest music industry organization in the world now with over 42,000 members. www.justplainfolks.com. although i have phased out of "the scene," i still enjoy the community i helped to create and have met some great friends, AMAZING songwriters and the alike. i was awarded another trip to cali but haven't used it yet. thinking about going Nov 2008 for another music industry convention. Barbara McDonald and I are slated to go to Cali Nov 2008 and prepare material, songs and new ideas, etc.
this is Michael Laskow, President and proud (he should be) owner of Taxi.com, a very generous, selfless example of a moral man who gets me to L.A., Cali to enjoy a great time with songwriters... thank U Michael.
