2009 A Year For Pioneers For A Cure

A Happy New Year wish to all! May 2009 bring real progress in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
This is the year we've been preparing for, and we're getting ready for our launch. Over 2 dozen old Israeli pioneer songs have already been recorded, with about 16 other artists having committed to record. More than half the material is mastered, and many tracks have begun to appear on MySpace and FaceBook.
Last week Bob Clearmountain and Keith Olsen sat with Pioneer Producer Greg Wall in Santa Monica to mix our "all in" anthem, Am Yisroel Chai. It sounds great and will be out there soon.
More about that here. http://pioneerproducer.blogspot.com/2008/12/hangin-with-homeboyz.html

Our first iPhone / iPod Touch App, FightCancer, is submitted to Apple, and we anxiously await it's appearance on the iTunes App Store. This App is a free full preview of two of our songs, one by New York Voices and the other by Karen Rosen, herself a cancer survivor. Here's a clip from Karen's song "Yelad Kat."

Tee Shirts, M&M's, and Bob Clearmountain!

Welcome to Elul and Labor day. As we turn the page on Summer, returning to school and work, here's an update on the Pioneers For A Cure project.

Mr. Bob Clearmountain last week mixed a beautiful track for us. "I Will Play My Flute" is an old pioneer song made fresh by Pharaoh's Daughter. The proceeds of this track are going to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Bob's mix is great. Thanks Bob!

When we got back from LA, there were two packages waiting. One with the initial tee shirt sample and another with a sample of the "Pioneers For A Cure" logo on a small bag of real M&M's, tied with a pink ribbon! I'm wearing the tee shirt now, very comfy 100% cotton, and the M&M's.... :-)
