- Paradiddle Records Myspace
Visit our My Space Site.
Paradiddle Records is hailed as "One of the true champions of Long Island music" (Good Times Magazine, 1/30/07)
Paradiddle Records is the creation of Bill Herman and Tom Crawford and
forged on a lifelong love of discovering new and exciting music. Our
goal is to bring this joy of discovery to a broader audience.
We are pleased to showcase exciting new songwriters and musicians. In
addition, Paradiddle Records will develop projects that cater to a very
specific audience - projects that might not find an outlet elsewhere.
As a Long Island based company we are particularly proud to showcase
Long Island's outstanding talent. However, when considering a new
artist, or our next project, we never consider locale, genre, style or
marketability. We only ask ourselves one question: is this quality
music that deserves to be heard? Here, at Paradiddle Records, we are
always looking for new voices and new visions.
Join us for a musical journey through uncharted waters.

- Island Songwriters Showcase-ISS
The Island Songwriter Showcase (ISS) is a Long Island-based organization of songwriters, lyricists, producers, engineers, performers, and DJ's with a common purpose: to develop and support musical talent through community, workshops, peer review and live performances. The ISS has become the largest, most visible and sought-after group of songwriters on Long Island. The ISS welcomes songwriters with a variety of backgrounds, experience and objectives. Workshops, showcases and membership is free to anyone interested in improving their craft and helping others to do the same.
The history of the ISS begins in the late 70s with Harry Chapin and Rob Baranello (and myself). Harry held a songwriter circle in his home which I attended. The group inspired several independent songwriter groups in the area. Rob, who had attended some of the Manhatten songwriter groups, founded the ISS, holding the first meeting in the Huntington Public Library on Main Street. Since then, the ISS has enjoyed the attendence and contributions of many fine songwriters and continues to grow.
The story of the ISS continues in the tradition of a volunteer organization for the art of songwriting and the support and success of songwriters.
