Giuseppi Logan new composition unnamed & gigs coming up by Suzannah B. Troy

Support Giuseppi Logan's comeback!!!!!
See my YouTube series. This is number 22 in my YouTube documentary on Giuseppi Logan.
Giuseppi Logan YouTube miracle by Suzannah B. Troy
Miracles do happen and when I filmed Giuseppi Logan on December 14, 2008 playing Begin the Beguine I became part of that miracle.
I knew I had filmed something powerful. Giuseppi told me to look up his name on the internet. I found out people thought he was dead and that he was a very loved jazz composer and musician that made me two important records in the 1960's.
I also immediately found another YouTube of Giuseppi with a little boy in the very same park from 1966.
Two years later I would meet that little boy who is now my age and help reunite him with his father after all these years.
A jazz writer Tim Madison had contacted me and told me how deeply moving my YouTube was. He told me he watched it over and over. I said I do to. He urged me to continue filming but I said I was very tired and traumatized. I had just had to
sell my home of 2o years which is traumatic but it was even more so because I am an outspoken activist. I did not know if I could find the strength but I did.
Peter Gershon, publisher of Signal to Noise, wrote a powerful piece on Giuseppi Logan entitled "Out From the Shadow"
and Peter Gershon is one of the only people to fully acknowledge my work and contribution because usually people
just help themselves and erase me.
Pete's powerful piece and my YouTubes I believe helped Giuseppi and one way was generating enough interest that he
was able to get back in to the studio and make his first new record from the 1960's that has been received to very
positive reviews.
Matt Lavelle, a musician recognized Giuseppi Logan when he came in to a store where Matt was working and ever since he plays music with Giuseppi and gets him and the group he formed gigs. This is huge for Giuseppi because it helps him earn money which he needs and of course it allows him to connect with people who still remember him and love his work.
I had suggested to Giuseppi's son Jaee, also a musical genius he should make a documentary and he took my advice. He filmed the reunion and when we in the park with the camera rolling a guy came up and shook Giuseppi's hand. He said your records got me through college.
Very moving in so many ways and Giuseppi Logan wants to get back in to the studio. He has new compositions including a piece he named after me, "Suzannah".

Albany's budget crisis & why is the gov still here? posted by Suzannah B. Troy
Not a hot topic but just wondering if Albany is getting any closer to balancing the budget and also why hasn't the governor resigned....just wondering?
The accidental gov. needs to have resigned quite a while ago and make spending time with his defense attorneys his number one past time.
New York City is in for very harsh cuts and for a long time their have been voices raised here calling for NYC to secede from the State. Just had to bring a touch of humor to an economic disaster here in New York. The 9 billion dollar deficit was suppose to be balanced by April 1 and their are Albany politicos so embroiled in scandals that defense attorneys are a priority not serving the people of New York.
The people of New York are not near the top of the list when it comes to politicos and their self serving agendas and inflated egos. Tune in more to come on this topic.

Goldman Sachs Top Dogs go from grill to the fire! post by Suzannah B. Troy
After being grilled by senators Goldman Sachs is now being investigated by the Feds according to The New York Post and I posted this comment in response to their article.
By the way, the grilling of Goldman Sachs top dogs did not hurt GS's stock but in fact it went up!
Goldman Sachs top dogs go from being grilled to be thrown in to the fire. I wrote a short story which is now a free podcast in ITunes called "Chopping the Street, one mega million at a time" about a woman that takes over an international biker motorcycle club and turns it into a global financial service firm on wheels. I wrote it in 2003 and I even quote The New York Post than on how much white collar crime costs the tax payers. It takes some brain power to understand what I am saying in this simple short story about white collar crime being above the radar and costs the people a fortune whether it is detected or not, whether it is successfully prosecuted or not. I could not get the story published. Why do you think that is?

St. Vincent's to Close this Friday unless there is some miracle post by Suzannah B. Troy
why doesn't President Obama is bailing out St. Vincent's instead of a bank or something like that. She points out the community is much more in need of St. Vincent's than a bank that has been bailed out.
Anyway, Friday in theory is the last day for this amazing hospital where I know first hand how good this hospital is from having to use their emergency room to get stitches to visiting a friend who is HIV positive and had to have emergency surgery.
I remember seeing dogs in the hospital as part of a program to uplift patients.
Heart breaking. I was against St. Vincent's busting through zoning as I was with NYU, Cooper Union, NY Law, every condo and hotel in the area thanks to the reckless tsunami of development Bloomberg pushed -- too much -- too fast but I never imagined that St. Vincent's could not stay open some how or come to some compromise with the zoning.
I am still hoping for miracles.

The IPhone almost as mighty as the paintbrush for NY street artists post by Suzannah B. Troy
As New York artists continue to do battle with king Mike Bloomberg who wants to sweep them out of the parks like Union Square, The New York Times reports "cellphone magic", a new way Iphones can be modified with the help of Pay Ware software to take credit card payments that makes selling your art on the streets of New York that much more wonderful if you do not have to worry about Mike Bloomberg sweeping you out of a public place like Union Square park; artists are focusing on sweeping buyers credit cards through their iphones. http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2010/03/robert-lederman-leads-charge-against.html
IPhones have become powerful tools for artists to video tape what is going on including their own possible arrests as well as telling their own stories and others like I do on YouTube.
I stopped in Apple and they showed me http://paywaremobile.com/ and all I can say is the IPhone is almost as mighty as the paint brush.
Do I want to add this to my IPhone repertoire?
Yes!!!!!!!

Mike Bloomberg supports immigrants NYC is not Arizona posted by Suzannah B. Troy
I agree with king Mike on this issue but what is just reprehensible on more than a blot on his legacy is his denying the people a referendum, pushing a reckless, dangerous tsunami of development on "old" New York's infrastructure and the mass displacement because of it. What about all the people forced out of NY because of evictions and or they can't afford this "new" hideous NY with sky piercing mirrored buildings that reflect a history destroyed and communities no longer welcome?
For anyone following my blogging and political YouTube documentary series on NY Politics and the major focus is on Mike Bloomberg you know I voted for him twice and I feel he betrayed my votes and my belief in him.
I painted a powerful portrait of him and transformed it into a brilliant art poster that lampoons him. "Mayor Bloomberg King of New York, Is Democracy for Sale?". On this poster it does state his philanthropy is welcome.
Here is the very first YouTube I made, "Mayor Bloomberg King of New York".

Donald Trump on CNN backs Arizona's racist illegal immigration law
Trump basically went for the racist route in backing Arizona's illegal immigration law, saying that what people aren't saying is there "aren't a lot of blondes in Mexico" so it's OK to stop someone who's in Arizona who might look like they're Mexican.
This is directed to Donald Trump:
Mr. Trump. Think. Arizona's population's 30 percent Latino. What the heck is going on in your head that you think it's OK to essentially embargo one-third of a state's population? Moreover you just gave license to anyone who's blonde yet working illegally in Arizona because, well, they're blonde.
That's racist.
You say 'What to do?' Easy. If a person breaks the laws of the state, the basic ones, you take action. But let the person alone. If people want to come here, make fast track citizenship systems that take advantage of Internet technology. But this business of racial profiling must stop. Moreover, Donald, you should be smarter in your consideration of the problem.
This blogger is very disappointed in Donald Trump and sad that Trump did not exhibit more enlightened thinking.
Stay tuned.
