USATODAY Monday, March 30, 2009A craftsman instrumental to guitaristsOne of Fender's elite guitar makers is a self-taught immigrant from the former USSR who counts pop music greats among his fans.

around him. "In
europe, Australia, Brazil,
los angeles and New York, electronic dance music really has this new inspirational
energy. It reminds me of what hip-hop was in the 1980s."
LA Times Monday, March 30, 2009Live review: Elton John and Billy JoelSaturday night's alright for the piano men, who gave fans a three-hour show full of hits.
Partnerships between pop superstars usually deliver less than the sum of their talents. Nostalgia isn't always enough, but a surprising collaboration between Elton John and Billy Joel, who play nothing more than their best-known hits from the '70s and '80s, has been going strong since 1995.
