Music news for old guys

Yesterday marked the passing of the great Mike Pinder, Mellotron king and last living co-founder of the Moody Blues. He was also a fine songwriter and vocalist, winning the Igor Novella songwriting award for the Moody Blues song "A Simple Game." He retired from music (mostly) in 1978 to California, and later worked in the video gaming industry.

He also recited the spoken word poems written by drummer Graeme Edge, such as Late Lament:

"Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion"

Godspeed Mike. Too many of my musical heros are passing. Tis the season it appears.

TU’s new AD must be a dynamic fundraiser

As much as most of us don’t like it, the reality is NIL is here to stay. NIL is a huge part of athletic success. TU just lost its top men’s & top women’s basketball player. TU must hire a dynamic fundraiser as their new athletic director.

TU has a small alumni base, but is the best sports entertainment option in a metro area of over 1 million people. TU must find a way to attract new fans and donors that are not alumni. We need a dynamic fundraiser to connect with the Tulsa area business community.

If we are to have athletic success in today’s NIL world we must truly become Tulsa’s team. That starts with hiring a new AD that has the personality and energy to lead that drive.
