.................PRESS RELEASE 2009.................. Independent NJ Singer/Songwriter/Musician Russ Bonagura Releases New CD “SONGS FOR PEOPLE” ...................... If you live in America and watch TV, you’ve heard Russ Bonagura’s voice and music........................ For starters, all across America television viewers have heard the sounds of Bonagura’s jingle “I Like It On That” for Santa Fe Salsa’s 2007 nationwide promotion launch of the product line. This began airing on Dec 11, 2006 and will ran continuously thru 2008 on all major networks. Written, produced and performed by Bonagura on all instruments and vocals, here’s the link to view the commercial online:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY8Z0CIn0QU ....................In addition, many of Russ’ songs have been aired on Natl’ TV shows including ABC, CBS, WB, FOX, VH1, FUSE: For example, "Please Understand" (from his 2003 CD release 'Pieces') featured on CBS' Young And The Restless.. CBS’ One Life To Live has featured Russ’ “At This Moment”.. And ABC’s All My Children has featured 2 others from the ‘Pieces’ CD "Angel By My Side" and “Take A Minute" more than a dozen times.... Both the song and the music video for “Take A Minute” have been aired on AMC and are scheduled for more airings this year. This video can be seen on Russ’ site: http://www.russbonagura.com/ ....................A child prodigy who was singing, learned to play bass, guitar, and drums all by age 10 and formed his first band at age 13, Russ Bonagura has been on the road to establishing himself as a career-oriented singer/songwriter since the early days of his teens. A staple on the East Coast music scene, performing over 100 live gigs per year, Russ has independently released 7 recordings (‘Pieces’ being 6) and 1 music video including; 5 full-length CDs and 2 EP/Singles and, he has penned more than 300 songs to date. In addition to above, Russ’ songs have been used as spots on NY’s WPLJ Scott & Todd In The Morning, The Howard Stern Radio Show and he has also lent his voice and face to many radio and tv jingles including 2004’s "Visa and The Grinch" commercial starring Jim Carey. Russ' musical reach has even extended outside the United States; his song "Daydreamin'" (the title track from his 1998 CD release) was a signature tune for the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan and appeared on the CBS Music Library that year. ....................Russ’ current 2008 independent release (his 7th) “SONGS FOR PEOPLE” is available now by visiting his website! Some of the players on the new material include; Mike Brignardello (Lonestar, Faith Hill), Howard Duck (Rascal Flatts) and Pat Buchanan (James Taylor, Hall & Oates). A sampler of new music can be heard on Russ’ MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/russbonagura .............................For more info, pls visit Russ’ website or contact Frimpy Muzik Productions: 973-477-7118 ..Pimp My Profile

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
