RICK WAKEMAN

For A Very Special Rendition Of The Paul McCartney-Penned Hit “COME & GET IT!”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

 

The most successful recording act signed to The Beatles' label - APPLE RECORDS - and what is considered their 'original' lineup of PETE HAM, TOMMY EVANS, MIKE GIBBINS and JOEY MOLLAND who joined in late 1969 when 'The Iveys' transformed into Badfinger. They interacted in various ways with each member of The Beatles, including their solo careers.

Paul McCartney wrote & produced the band's first single - "Come & Get It". Joey & Tommy played acoustic guitars on John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" & "I Don't Want To Be A Soldier, Momma" on his Imagine LP. Pete & Tommy lended backup vocals on Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy". And the entire original Badfinger lineup contributed to George Harrison's landmark triple-LP set, "All Things Must Pass" and the equally groundbreaking fundraising event, The Concert For Bangla Desh.

Top 10 hits worldwide include: "Come & Get It", "No Matter What", "Day After Day", "Baby Blue" and "Without You" - which was covered by both Nilsson (1972) and Mariah Carey (1994) which both went to #1.

Joey Molland’s Badfinger has been experiencing quite the career revival recently with artists ranging from indie rock icon Matthew Sweet to Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson participating in exciting new versions of Badfinger’s extensive catalog of hits. And now comes one of the biggest hits Molland & company ever recorded - the Paul McCartney-penned pop classic “Come & Get It” reinvented here with a superb contribution from famed piano/keyboard player Rick Wakeman! With Wakeman’s special touch, this tune takes on a whole new life with added melody and bounce, and although Badfinger guitarist/bassist Tom Evans originally sang lead on the 1969 version, Molland ably takes over vocal duties.

For 2 years in a row  (2017 ,2018) Ginetta’s Vendetta was the house band on the yacht “Manhattan” playing jazz in the summer & Christmas carols in the winter. They sailed up & down the Hudson river and to the Statue of Liberty daily  with magnificent views of the city. She is always a festival favorite and played with her band Ginetta’s Vendetta (c.) at The San Jose Jazz  Summerfest 2017 and co-headlined an appearance (with organist Tony Monaco!) at the biggest Jazz Festival in the world, The Java Jazz  Festival 2015, along with Headliners Chaka Khan & Chris Botti!

It was commissioned in the wake of September 11th. “La Dolce Vita” also recieved 2 more billboard awards for her original tunes: “I Believe in You” & “Behind Those Eyes”.  She is the recipient of four (4) AscaPlus awards for songwriting, The Music Liberty initiative of NY award, “The Best Of” award from Soul Patrol  plus letters of commendations from various festivals & many more accolades too numerous to mention. Ginetta is an alumna of the famed music school North Texas State University, and has decades of experiance on the road & in the studio. Her recordings as a “sideman” exceed count & her distinctive sound can be heard covering a variety of styles  from Compa, Salsa, R & B & Jazz  to Pop, horn sectionals, Singer-songwriter, Indie artist & more!

In the early years she played with many Latin, Compa, Calypso, Merengue & Salsa bands, taking her on tours through Puerto Rico, Haiti, South America, Martenique & Guadeloupe.She also spent a Carnival season in Trinidad with her female horn section Amazon Brass.

She was always added to the horn section of Blues Legend Albert Collins whenever he came to NYC.  A two-year stint at the biggest Russian club in NYC “The National” was followed by 3 more years on the road w/ the show band “Waterfront” covering the casino & hotel circuit. She also was the sole horn player &  featured soloist for the American debut tour of The Boo Radleys, covering 45 states in 7 weeks!

This won her many new fans in the entertainment capitol as well as a rave review from “Las Vegas City Life” calling her a “Poolside Patsy Kline”.  Her need, however, to lead a band, sing, play and compose was the defining factor in the creation of “Ginetta’s Vendetta”.

Ginetta’s Vendetta has held weekly residencies at the Trump Soho Hotel, The World Bar, Vic & Anthonys  (3 Nights a week), The Harlem Tavern, Farafina Supper Club, Baby Brasa, Jules & various NYC institutions which complete her busy itinerary in between her travels.

TIA ALEXANDER

Tia Alexander was born in Culver City California and raised in West Covina, right on the outskirts of Los Angeles. With her young tomboyish style, she lived a bold life of independence and daring resilience.

Always living life on the edge, you couldn’t catch her sitting still in one place too long. Everyday a new adventure was created and spontaneity was her super power.

When Tia Graduated from Walnut high School in 1999, she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and began studying to be a Neonatal Nurse.  Through convention modeling for various brands, and through landing her first national commercial at 19 to boot, she began to pave the way to a viable career. While traveling back and forth to Hollywood to become union in the Screen Actors Guild, the young pioneer saved up enough money to buy a house at 23 and subsequently moved back to LA.

As her career continued, she stayed in search of a new agent in new regions.

She ventured to NYC to experience the market. Landing in the Big Apple without representation was daunting, but she was driven by the challenge of the unknown and she was willing to begin again at the bottom in search of new opportunity. After 2 years of building her portfolio and establishing new clientele, she returned home to Los Angeles to further her career in Hollywood.

At very moment in time that her agent brokered a deal for Tia to launch JC Pennies’ first fitness line, she found out she was 3 months pregnant. But while some might perceive her pregnancy to be a career impediment, Tia sees it as a blessing that only expanded greater opportunities. Initially thinking this would be counterproductive to her career…little did she know she would embark on an even more inspiring career journey than she could have ever envisioned.

After giving birth to a beautiful baby boy, she signed with Wilhelmina Models agency and leaned heavily on her fitness lifestyle to enter the fitness modeling world. This ultimately took her career to another level. This single parent blossomed into a mother with ambition and drive. After thriving in Hollywood, she now works internationally, traveling the world with her son to expose him to bigger ideas than just the American Dream. Tia currently resides in South Africa where her new journey begins and the adventures continue for “The Model Mommy” and her son Alexander.

He has worked and taught in dozens of countries on six continents.

Since 1988 Garcia has been an adjunct professor of management at the New York University Stern School of Business executive MBA program, where he teaches crisis management and was named Executive MBA Great Professor in 2016. He is an adjunct associate professor of management and communication at NYU School of professional studies where he teaches communication strategy, communication ethics and law, and crisis communication.Garcia is also an adjunct associate professor of professional development and leadership at Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, where he teaches ethics, crisis, and leadership.He is a senior fellow at the Institute of Corporate Communication at Communication University of China. He is a contract lecturer at the Defense Information School and at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.Author and leadership communication professor Helio Fred Garcia documents President Donald Trump’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric, from his campaign through the first 2 ½ years in office, and how some lone wolves were motivated by that rhetoric to commit violence, in his new book.WORDS ON FIRE is about the power of communication to do great harm, and how civic leaders and engaged citizens can hold leaders accountable to prevent such harm. Garcia focuses on the language President Trump uses that conditions an audience to accept, condone, and commit violence against a targeted group, rival, or critic. The book includes a history of such rhetoric and identifies a playbook of twelve forms of communication that typically precede acts of mass violence up to and including genocide.The Nazis used all twelve; the Rwandan Hutu used ten. Trump uses all twelve.Garcia also introduces a new, more accessible name for rhetoric that provokes violence: lone-wolf whistle violence, on the model of “dog whistle” politics, where politicians use coded language that conveys one meaning, usually benign, to most people, but a different meaning to members of a certain group or followers of a certain ideology.“In my teaching and research, I study patterns: patterns that help leaders enhance competitive advantage, build trust and loyalty, and change the world for the better. I also note patterns that predictably, even if unintentionally, lead to hurt, to harm, and to violence,” said Garcia. “In reflecting on the President’s language, I noticed a pattern: He was using the very same rhetorical techniques that had preceded previous mass murders, including genocides. I worried that, left unchecked, he would continue, with increasingly dire consequences.

”WORDS ON FIRE"describes the changes in the nation’s political culture and media that led to Trump’s nomination and presidency. Garcia profiles leaders who dialed back their rhetoric when it was shown to put people’s lives at risk and closes with a call to action: We can learn the lessons of today to prepare for tomorrow, to help civic leaders, engaged citizens, journalists, and public officials recognize the phenomenon and take steps to hold other leaders accountable in the future when they use such language.Advance Praise for Words on Fire“Language is power, and powerful. It can uplift, or harm. Helio Fred Garcia is an astute student of language and communication. This book offers historic examples, keen insights and valuable advice on recognizing patterns of language that can harm or lead to violence."Former Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security spokesman, Col. David Lapan, USMC (Ret)“Words on Fire serves as a guiding light during this dark moment in our history. Every American should read this timely, imperative book if we are to save our democracy.

Guest Biography:

Michael King is a Life Enrichment Consultant, a Soul, Life, and Health Intuitive, as well as a researcher of Nature's most powerful healing resources the world over. He is the author of "Three Essentials for Vibrant Health: Detoxify, Nourish & Build", along with the Vital Health News Updates - a periodic newsletter documenting powerful life-building approaches to both inner and outer health.

He is also the author of "The Gentle Art of Self-Healing", a simple, powerful process for changing the corner of the world that we each live in, capable of producing noticeable inner improvements in a matter of minutes.

Michael is an advocate of sustainable gardening, environmental responsibility, and an architect of ways to increase global food production.

Early History to the Present
Michael’s early years of life were fraught with severe health complications, partly due to inherited conditions, and partly due to side effects from standard medical treatment, compounded by the typical American diet. He began his search for natural remedies to his deteriorating health condition in 1976. What he discovered kindled a deeply felt passion in the fields of both natural health and inner healing.

Overall, Michael has spent the last 40+ years in quest for the best of the best that Nature has to offer. Realizing that the answers to his physical condition would only be found by uncovering their original causes, an avid search began to discover these causes and heal them.

True to the Natural Order of things, this intent is continuously being rewarded with insights and solutions found within the abundant resources of Nature. Numerous approaches to restore health in both the inner and the outer being have been magnetically drawn to him.

The Sacred Clay & Ormalite, several herbal resources with remarkable restorative capabilities, and an in-depth insights into the world of inner transformation are among the many gifts of Nature that have since come his way. The herbal formulas were originally designed to heal his own health challenges, and are central to his own health restoration. 

Encouraged by family and friends to make his products and wisdom more available to the public, claiming this was “right place, right time for concepts of such effectiveness to be in the hands of those desperately seeking answers”, Vitality Herbs & Clay, LLC was eventually given birth.

VitalityHerbsAndClay.com documents this natural wisdom with over 100 articles, numerous audio podcasts, and 40+ natural products focused on whole earthen resources (as opposed to isolates and extracts), and without additives or fillers.

It has been Michael’s passion since childhood to be an instrument through which lives change for the better. The development of clay products, the formulation of rejuvenative herbal combinations, the life enhancement consultations, the sharing of this wisdom in seminars, and the positive results he watches daily in the lives of others, fulfills this ongoing passion within him to serve the common good.

Applying the wisdom gained from his in-depth search of the world of natural resources has made it possible for him to heal both body and soul, leaving him physically healthier and more vital at 65 than when he was 20. His life path and his joy is to share this wisdom with others.

"In truth, love is the only thing that heals. Every issue of life springs forth out of the condition of the inner heart, and must ultimately return to the heart in order to become whole again. Herein lies the secret of vibrant health, the manifestation of wealth, and complete fulfillment in life. How to get there from here is the underlying quest of every soul.” Michael King
