With places as diverse as Singapore, western Canada, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Sweden, Ireland and Mexico City on his 2010 tour schedule, Sandip Burman is definitely a traveling man. Tuesday morning, however, Conneaut Lake High School served as the starting point for his latest journey. Armed with three instruments not usually familiar to rural high school musicians, Burman was in the Lake band room to kick off his U.S.A. tour.  

The cause of the fire at The Kingsway is still being investigated by police. A disused nightclub which played host to The Beatles and Tom Jones in its heyday has been left gutted following a massive blaze at the building on Monday night (September 6, 2010). Firefighters were called to the former Kingsway nightclub on Southport Promenade at about 8pm and on found the building well alight, with flames shooting first floor windows and going through the roof.  

A revised DVD about the Beatles' initial appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" is like cracking open a time capsule. Almost as interesting as the band making its musical introduction to America in 1964 is the context in which it is placed. The DVD presents the programs exactly as they appeared that night — complete with hapless magicians or comedians, commercials that would shame "Mad Men" and illustrations of how the pace of television has changed.  

At the age of 60, comedian Robert Schimmel was living on a prayer, with a host of diseases that could have taken his life at any time, say friends. Instead, he died from injuries he suffered in a car accident in Phoenix over the weekend, and his daughter, Aliyah Schimmel , was at the wheel. Aliyah, who at 19 is beginning her life, has a long psychological road ahead as she tries to deal with the accident, even though authorities say there is no indication the accident was her fault.  

The killer of Liverpool music legend John Lennon is trying for parole again. Mark David Chapman is due to be interviewed at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York state this week. This will be the sixth try at freedom for the former maintenance man who has spent nearly 30 years inside.  

It's been more than 40 years since the British Invasion first brought bands like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles to U.S. shores, and despite what Mick Jagger said, time has not been on the Brits' side. Since the year 2000, only five singles by British artists have reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard 100 charts — and two of them, "Down" by Jay Sean and "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz, featured American artists who helped boost their profile. So why is it so hard for Brits to succeed across the pond?

Snoop Dogg's stature in the music biz stretch far beyond the hip-hop genre. Even Katy Perry knows that and put him on her "California Gurls" single. Breaking down barriers is something of a normal thing for the Dogg.  

With growth hard to come by, more than ever it's all about the dividend yield. Is someone out there reading my ramblings? Only yesterday, after seven straight days in a row of stock market gains, I highlighted how sovereign debt concerns, particularly in Greece, have not gone away.
