“The Man Behind the Music,” the Below Stairs Productions’ Documentary on Henry Lewy, Joni Mitchell’s Engineer/Producer for 13 Albums, has Started an Indiegogo Campaign
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2014

In the late 1960s, with the world enmeshed in the Vietnam War, a new sound rang out from the hills and canyons of Southern California. The folk-rock era had arrived, anchored by a new breed of singer/songwriter. In the center of this musical revolution stood an unassuming, but immensely talented, engineer/producer named Henry Lewy. However, when production started on this documentary, there was not even a Wikipedia entry for Henry!
Henry’s story begins with his escape from Nazi Germany and his courageous service for the US Army in World War II. Then it unfolds through interviews with the artists, writers and producers he worked with throughout an incredible career that spanned nearly fifty years. The film explores, in-depth, the influence of music on our times with video of the history-changing events, and the incredible legacy of the music Henry helped produce and engineer. His body of recordings endures in the pantheon of the greatest albums of the modern rock era.
Director/Producer Bob Burton first met Henry in 1978 and for the next 28 years Henry became his mentor and friend. Shortly before Henry died, he gave Bob his personal journals and photos from his incredible life’s journey. After Henry died, Burton and production partner Evan Archerd formed Below Stairs Productions to create and produce this documentary film to honor the man behind the music. Henry’s story needs to be told now, while those who worked with him are still able to contribute to this film.
An impressive list of artists have agreed to participate in this project, including Joni Mitchell, Herb Alpert, Chris Hillman (Founder of The Byrds/Flying Burrito Bros.), Stephen Bishop, and Mark Isham (Composer of A River Runs Through It, et al), Bernie Grundman, Max Bennett (LA Express), Leah Kunkel, Steve Katz and Roscoe Beck. Interviews have been completed with Henry’s sister, Eva and other family members. The production company is currently reaching out to Neil Young. Leonard Cohen, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Joan Baez, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and many, many more. For more information go to http://www.belowstairsproductions.com

URC Expert Shares Reasons Behind the Slow Spring in the Us Housing Market
(PRWEB) June 11, 2014
A US based real-estate expert working for a renowned financial consulting firm, United Relief Centre, has recently shared his expert analysis of the current housing market situation in the US. Major resources including the Wall Street Journal confirm that the spring did not experience the start that was predicted. However, according to the real estate expert from the United Relief Centre, there are too many variables involved in determining the direction of the market, and therefore, it is too early to predict where the market will turn in the future.
According to the URC expert, one of the major reasons behind the slow start in the spring is the housing prices in most of the major markets. However, he states that the market will go into a late bloom. “It won’t be the first time we witness a slow take off. There are numerous reasons that can lead to such situation. First, there is the price, which is currently higher than what people are willing to pay and then there is the fact that winter was longer than usual this time around. Yet, in any case, we know that these are temporary factors and the market will rebound before we know it,” the expert states.
Backing the claims, the expert shared a recent report by the Mortgage Bankers Association that reveals a rising trend in the number of applications for home loans. After his analysis of all the recently shared numbers and stats, the URC expert predicts the heat to pick somewhere near the second quarter.
The expert, who has more than a decade worth of experience in the US housing market, advised the homebuyers to view current situation in a more positive light. “There is always a silver lining. The slowdown is indicative of how the industry has swiftly moved towards recovery during the past two years. The recent slump in the numbers is only natural because there are lesser distressed properties to buy,” he adds.

Philadelphia Apparel Organization United By Blue Cleans Up What Other people Leave Behind
Hegins, PA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011
The United By Blue (UBB) team, along with the help of 25 volunteers, removed over 900 tires from Brett Russell’s property in Hegins, PA at a cleanup in November.
For most of his life, Russell had been a competitive powerlifter, individual trainer, and semi-pro racquetball player. By way of all of his pursuits, he took active living to a new level.
All of that changed on New Year’s Eve, 1995, when he was driving to operate in Atlantic City, New Jersey. A hit-and-run drunk driver left his knee crushed so severely that the only fix surgeons could offer you was experimental surgery.
Negative luck struck once again numerous years later when a driver attempting to turn a corner slammed on her gas rather of her brakes and crashed into Russell. The second accident injured six disks in Russell’s upper back and neck, leaving him even with even far more serious disabilities.
“Since the accidents, I have not been able to do issues requiring substantial physical endurance or exertion,” he says.
Years later, Russell moved from Atlantic City back to his roots in the Ashland and Mount Carmel region of Central Pennsylvania. He purchased some property with the intention of constructing a cabin overlooking the creek that runs through it. Two accidents and a career spent operating a casino made the peaceful, scenic retreat especially appealing to him.
But no rest for the weary, it would seem. “I purchased the property with the aim of cleaning it up and producing it a good unique and relaxing place, but regrettably the property appears to have been employed as a dump area for years,” says Russell.
Enter United By Blue (UBB), a Philadelphia-based apparel brand that removes one pound of trash for each product sold. The start-up has been associating every transaction with a concrete environmental action because they had been founded back in 2010, and have given that removed 80,000 pounds of trash at more than 60 cleanups with the assist of over 1,000 volunteers.
UBB is a new brand of organization, difficult-wired to do environmental good. Preparing and hosting cleanups is part of its mission. They do their own dirty work, and public waterways across the country are cleaner as a result of their function.
UBB sticks virtually exclusively to public waterways, but the team knew that the waste on Russell’s property affected far more than just his stretch of creek. “It was dirty,” says Mike Cangi, UBB’s Director of Cleanups. “I mean, it was dirty.” So the team decided to see if they could host a cleanup on Russell’s property at Weishample Hollow and known as him up.
Russell was thrilled to have them. “It is actually impressive that people come forward and give of themselves and their time freely to support this world, and other people in it. I express my thanks for helping to accomplish what I am unable to achieve myself at this time,” said Russell.
The community support was overwhelming. One volunteer, Pam Ulicny, a neighborhood teacher and cleanup volunteer, had glowing issues to say about the occasion: “UBB pulled our community together to aid to clean up an eyesore and a nearby environmental concern. UBB demonstrated that in a single day a team of concerned people can come together, make a difference, and feel excellent about what they achieved. And UBB helped to inspire me to organize much more clean-up projects on my own.”
United By Blue is an ocean-friendly brand of apparel that removes one pound of trash for each item sold. The brand sells a line of organic cotton t-shirts, canvas bags, and artisan jewelry.
