I was unable to get my "Support Corporate Sponsorship" spot on AOPA Live at Hartford.  Truth is I was way behind the 8ball on that one, and although the content and message are good, I will be redesigning the piece and marketing it through a new association with the Flying Musicians Association, a two year old non-profit created out of the realization that over 50% of aviators are also musicians, and have designs of complimenting the two passions for a common goal: develop new arts and sciences students to enrich our country.

AOPA Hartford was exciting because it was in our neck of the woods this year.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it did keep the numbers down.

I had the joy of reconnecting with old television production friends, Sid Levin and Jim Arnold, formerly of Arnold/Levin Productions for whom I worked in the early 90's.  They each now have their own production companies producing content for major cable programming.

My new association with the Flying Musicians Association is truly invigorating.  Their mission is to merge the passions of music and aviation and help promote both at high schools and colleges.  To date we have three chapters, but a dozen more in development.  We are looking for evangelists.  For more information check out the web site at: www.flyingmusicians.org.

In an attempt to help grow the FMA, it's possible we may walk the National Business Aviation Association convention  NBAA  in Vegas next week, but with such short notice the odds are not good....
