In Memoriam:
Craig Vinton
By Sandra Dee and Friends
“Everyone that knew
him felt he was the hub of
the wheel – he wove the
thread that connected so
many lives.”
A dear friend and
colleague, Craig J. Vinton,
recently passed away
very unexpectedly.
Craig was a friend,
mentor, father to many,
and a savvy businessman.
He was instrumental
in the Washington
State music scene. After
appearing on Putting
On The Hits TV show,
Craig pioneered lip sync
in Washington State,

Protect Your Goodies
By Rocky & Kristine Fields
Welcome to sitting
the lat est
and greatest
issue of the
Karaoke & Live Entertainment
Magazine. Hopefully you're enjoying
the Summer as we forge
into September and gear up the
kiddos to start school, and we
adults can begin planning our
karaoke date nights.
I want to expose an issue
that has affected me recently,
and is a stark reminder of how
people are not always good at
heart. I am a trusting soul, and I
usually feel safe leaving my keys,
phone, and other personal items
with, or near friends at
pretty much any venue we visit.
Just the other night, surrounded
by many familiar and
trusted faces, my phone was
snatched right off of my table
when no one was looking. Luckily,
we were in a place that had
surveillance, so security was
able to quickly apprehend the
lady, yes I said lady, who took
my phone, pocketed it and gave it
away to a girlfriend of hers. Her
friend took my phone home with
her, but just three hours later,
with the help of the law, we were
able to recover my phone.
