1.  This Week's Featured Personality:  Irena Makarchuk, founder of Harmony4Kidz

This past Saturday night, I had the pleasure of attending a concert organized by Irena Makarchuk, who is currently ranked # 6 in The Alive with Clive Top 20.  Irena was one of the first musicians to appear on Alive with Clive.

The concert, which was held at the Black Rock Art Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was one of a series presented by Harmony4Kidz, an organization founded by Irena to raise money through concerts to improve the lives of children who are homeless or in need of financial assistance.  For more information about Harmony4Kidz, go to www.harmony4kidz.org

The concert was held in conjunction with an art exhibition showing works of art by artists in Connecticut and featured performances by the following musicians or bands, all of whom I met and are likely to appear on Alive with Clive soon:

Among the songs performed by Bermuda Road was a song called Save the World, the theme song for Harmony4Kidz, which was written by Irena a few months ago.

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate Irena for the marvelous work she is doing for the children who are and will be benefiting from her efforts and the efforts of all who support Harmony4Kidz.  She is an example of someone who is using her immense gifts and talents to make a huge contribution to the world, and is a true inspiration!

The next concert for the benefit of Harmony4Kidz will take place at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan on September 21, 2008.  For more information, go to www.highlineballroom.com

If you'd like to support Irena in her mission, participate in a future concert or make a contribution to Harmony4Kidz, send an email to info@harmony4kidz.org

2.  What's Happening In The Alive with Clive Top 20

While Anthony Melillo shows no sign of relinquishing his formidable lead in the Alive with Clive Top 20, Cassandra Kubinski and Jeneen Terrana continue to be locked in an stirring duel to claim second place.  At this moment, Cassandra has once again moved into second place with 67 votes -- two more than Jeneen -- behind Anthony, who has 260 votes. 

The biggest and most impressive move of the week has been made by John Taglieri, who in this past week alone (as of 8 a.m. today, Friday, July 25) has obtained 35 votes -- more votes than any other musician obtained on the chart this week -- to move from # 20 to # 4, ahead of Joséphine Ancelle, who has dropped to # 5 with 32 votes.  John is not just a popular musician with a huge following who performs about five concerts a week, he is also a savvy musical entrepreneur who teaches other musicians how to be independent full-time musicians.  So he is sure to make his presence known in the upper ranks of The Alive with Clive Top 20, and could be one of the musicians to challenge Anthony Melillo for the top spot in The Alive with Clive Top 20 in the weeks ahead.

To see Anthony and his brothers, Joe and Nick, performing one of the songs, That's My Son -- the song I believe every son wants his parents to hear -- that will be on his debut CD, Just Gettin' Started, which is due to be released within the next couple of weeks, on Alive with Clive, click here now or copy and paste the following link into your Web browser:

The Alive with Clive Top 20 Chart is updated every two weeks. The next chart will be published by no later than 2 p.m. on Friday, August 1, and will be based on votes cast by 7 a.m. on Friday, August 1.

3.  Coming Next Week:  The Alive with Clive Top 5!

As a reminder, there are big benefits for musicians who feature prominently in The Alive with Clive Top 20.  Here are a few:

Now there's even more reason for a musician to feature prominently in The Alive with Clive Top 20:  Next week, when I publish the new Alive with Clive Top 20 Chart, I'm creating a new category within The Alive with Clive Top 20.  It's going to be called The Alive with Clive Top 5!  While I can't list all 20 musicians in the Alive with Clive TV Show MagEzine because the list would be too long, it's easy for me to list The Alive with Clive Top 5!

So now, while the thought of toppling Anthony Melillo from the # 1 spot on The Alive with Clive Top 20 Chart might seem daunting, since Anthony has such a big lead, it's possible for any one of the musicians in The Alive with Clive Top 20 to obtain the votes necessary to put them in The Alive with Clive Top 5!  And special benefits will be provided to the musicians in The Alive with Clive Top 5!

So, if you're a musician, post the link to The Alive with Clive Top 20 voting page wherever you can on your Web sites and My Space pages and in fliers, and send emails to your fans to ask them to vote for you every day.  

Here's the link to The Alive with Clive Top 20 voting page:

And if you're a fan, vote for the musician you are supporting every day and encourage your friends to vote for him or her every day too!

4.  Clive's Favorite Quote For The Week

I read the Quote For The Week below in an email I received from Brian Johnson, founder of thinkarete.com, concentrated wisdom for the busy self-actualizerTM.  If you are not yet subscribed to his email service in which he provides a Big Idea every day from some of the wisest philosophers who have ever lived, go to thinkarete.com and subscribe immediately.  You don't want to miss out on another day of wisdom Brian sends our way!

Now enjoy the Quote For The Week:

"Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.  If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.  For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.  Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes."

Kahlil Gibran, 20th century Syrian-born mystic poet, philosopher, and artist from The Prophet
