Archived and only available at  Rainbow World Radio

Finally, after five design failures I was able to mail out the 2009 Pride In The Arts Music Awards (announced in March), last week. Many thanks to patient recipients! I am always asking for feedback so wanted to share some so far on the awards received;

Hi, Len. 
The PITA Award arrived in the mail and is proudly displayed in my living room. Thank you so much for your dedication and efforts on behalf of musicians like myself. Hugs, John Raymond Pollard


From Scott Free: 

Len, thank you SO MUCH for the Pride In The Arts Music Award - I LOVE IT!! It's sitting on my piano!!


Hi Len,
I can only add to what Scott and John have expressed so well: I received my PITA Award two days ago, and I promptly displayed it in my studio, and showed it to Kermitt as soon as he came in! Words can't convey how grateful I am to be part of the Stonewall Society and how grateful and appreciative I am for all you do on behalf of artists such as me. I am both humbled and proud to be part of this gifted group of artists. Much gratitude and love to everyone who voted and participated in the Awards this year.
Love, and hugs,
Dan Manjovi


Dear Len -
I received my PITA Producer-of-the-Year Award a few days ago in the mail. As John Hurt said in The Elephant Man - "I have put it in a place of honor"(!)
It resides, in pride, on the "awards wall" here at Urban Productions recording studio. Thank you for sending; thanks to JD DOYLE for financing the mailing; thanks again to all who voted for me; and special thanks to Roger Yolanda Mapes, whose songs on HOUSE OF JOY inspired me to play, produce, arrange, record and mix my best.

For me this and the announce show is what it is all about. Letting our artists know they are appreciated! Thanks John Raymond, Scott, Dan & Robert!
