May 19[edit]
What channel can I watch the Powerball drawings live? I live in California. Thanks in advance. 71.146.1.122 (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- You may not be able to. I didn't see anything on the CA lottery site [1] and the powerball site doesn't show any California TV stations [2]. RudolfRed (talk) 03:21, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- This is their official youtube channel here. Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 04:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Address[edit]
Can anyone find the mailing address of the God Bless America Fund for Redistribution? My Google-fu has failed me. (If you're curious, they own the rights to the song God Bless America and disperse profits to the Girl and Boy Scouts of America.) Sophus Bie (talk) 11:29, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the capital 'R' in 'redistribution' in thart article is incorrect, which has led you to think that there is an organization called the God Bless America Fund for Redistribution. The 'r' should be in lower case, and the fund is just called the God Bless America Fund. See here [3] for a reference. I can't find the address of the Fund either, but I imagine it is administered by the trustees of Irving Berlin's estate. --Viennese Waltz 11:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- Aha! I guess I was right the first time around; the article made me think that I had been searching incorrectly. In any case, I still need the address (of the trustees or otherwise) in order to request permission to arrange. Sophus Bie (talk) 11:49, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- Although I can't supply a mailing address, the sheet music I have for the piece indicates at the bottom the following: Copyright 1939 by Irving Berlin, Inc. Copyright assigned to Herbert Swope, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Gene Tunney, as Trustees. It may be that there are specific trustees for the piece of music separate from the trustees of the composer's estate. I hope this helps in your search.--Romantic Mollusk (talk) 19:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- I think that info is outdated, they seem to be the original trustees. This gives a 2001/2002 list [4]. (The LOC link above also has a different list which appears to be the trustees sometime in 2000/2001 and before.) BTW, the trust also collects royalties for a few other songs.
