# 1923 Nigerian general election

General elections were held in Nigeria for the first time on 20 September 1923. The Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) won three of the four elected seats in the Legislative Council.

## Background

Elective democracy had been introduced in Nigeria in May 1919, when the Townships Ordinance gave the right to vote for three members of Lagos Town Council to some men. The first elections to the council were held on 29 March 1920. In 1922 a new constitution (known as the Clifford Constitution after Governor Hugh Clifford) was promulgated, which introduced four elected seats to the Legislative Council, three for Lagos and one for Calabar.

## Electoral system

The 1922 Nigeria (Legislative Council) Order in Council provided for a 46-member Legislative Council, of which 23 were ex-officio officials, four were nominated officials, up to 15 were appointed unofficial members and four were elected. The 23 ex officio officials included the Governor, the Chief Secretary and their deputy, the Lieutenant Governors and secretaries of the Northern and Southern Provinces, the Attorney General, the Commandant of the Nigerian Regiment, the Director of Medical Services, the Treasurer, the Director of Marine, the Comptroller of Customs, the Secretary of Native Affairs, together with ten senior residents.

The franchise was restricted to men aged 21 or over who were British subjects or a native of Nigeria who had lived in their municipal area for the 12 months prior to the election, and who earned at least £100 in the previous calendar year. The right to vote was withheld from those who had been convicted of a crime and sentenced to death, hard labour or prison for more than a year, or were of "unsound mind". Only around 4,000 people registered to vote in Lagos out of a population of 99,000, whilst just 453 registered in Calabar.

All eligible voters could also run as candidates unless they had an undischarged bankruptcy, had received charitable relief in the previous five years or were a public servant. Candidates were required to obtain the nomination of at least three registered voters and pay a £10 deposit. Electoral regulations were passed on 1 June 1923, setting out details of how the elections would be carried out, including the creation of an electoral register. The term of the council was five years.

## Campaign

Ten candidates contested the three Lagos seats, whilst four candidates ran for the single seat in Calabar.

Sirsiya is now known for its Inland Container Depot (ICD) or Dry Port that is very close to the border with India and connected to Raxaul railway junction in India across the border.

## Sirsiya Inland Container Depot

The 6 km long metre gauge railway track from Raxaul was converted to broad gauge by the Indian railways to connect Sirsiya Inland Container Depot (ICD) (also known as Birganj Dry Port) that became fully operational in 2005. It facilitates direct movement of containers and break-bulk cargo from Kolkata port and other places in India. It has six full-rake railway sidings. It handles more than 20,000 TEU annually. Its can store 1568 TEU. It has been constructed on 38 ha (94 acres) land.

The containerised cargo traffic of 20,000 TEU is almost exclusively import into Nepal. There is very little export in containers with less than 1,000 TEU cargo being exported annually. Break-bulk cargo of about 200,000 tons annually includes both imports and exports.

# Diffa Region

**Diffa** is one of the seven Regions of Niger, located in the southeast of the country. The capital of the region is Diffa.

## Geography

Diffa Region is situated in the extreme southeast of Niger between 10° 30’ and 15° 35’ longitude East and 13° 04’ and 18° 00’ latitude North. It covers 156 906 km², and it borders Agadez Region to the north, Chad to the east, Nigeria to the south, and Zinder Region to the west. The landscape is primarily Sahelian in the south, merging into the Sahara desert in the north of the region. In the far southeast can be found Niger's portion of Lake Chad; formerly extending as far west as N'guigmi, the lake has shrunk drastically in recent decades. In the southeast, the Komadougou Yobe river forms part of the border with Nigeria.

### Settlements

Diffa is the regional capital; other major settlements include Bosso, Chetimari, Dungass, Gueskerou, Goudoumaria, Kablewa, Mainé-Soroa, N'Gourti, N'Guelbély, N'guigmi and Toumour.

## Administrative subdivisions

Diffa Region is divided into six Departments:

The Region also includes three Urban Communes, a number of Rural Communes, four Cantons, and over twenty *Groupments* (administrative councils of nomadic communities). The Urban Communes are Diffa, Maïné-Soroa, N'guigmi; while the Rural Communes include Bosso, Chétimari, Goudoumaria, N'Gourti, Kabléwa, Nguel beyli, and Gueskérou.

## Demographics

The main ethnolinguistic groups in the region are Arabs, Fula, Hausa, Kanuri, Buduma, and Toubou.

Historical population
| Year | Pop. | ±% |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1977 | 167,382 |  |
| 1985 | 189,091 | +13.0% |
| 2001 | 346,595 | +83.3% |
| 2012 | 593,821 | +71.3% |
| source: | | |

### Refugees

Refugees from Nigeria fleeing violence from Boko Haram are living with local populations in the Diffa Region. As of 11 June 11, 2014, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) estimated that as many as 1,000 refugees a week were crossing the border into Diffa region; four out of five were women and girls. By October 2015 the number of Nigerian refugees in the region had risen to at least 150,000. After a lull in the fighting in 2017-18, violence increased in 2019, further worsening an already fragile security situation.

## Economy

The economy of Diffa Region is primarily agricultural, based upon pastoralism and farming. The major crop, grown both for subsistence and sale, is millet, especially the drought-tolerant varieties. One third of arable land is devoted to farming: almost 105,000 hectares farmed of the 299,500 hectares of arable land. Areas of the east and south also grow rice and maize. Irrigation in the valleys around Maïné-Soroa make this possible, as does the edge of Lake Chad (3,000 km² in the far east) and the seasonal Komadougou Yobe river valley in the south, which forms around 150 km of the border with Nigeria. Despite this, the Diffa Region is among the most unproductive agricultural areas in Niger, and all of West Africa, making it especially vulnerable to drought and famine.

# The WIRE project

The Wire Project (Wick Information Recreation & Education) was a charitable organisation charity based in England.

## History

The Wire Project was founded by Paul Sanderson MBE in 1996 as a direct response to recognised issues involving drug and alcohol addiction, high teenage pregnancy, low literacy levels and low ‘community esteem’ in the community of Wick, Littlehampton, West Sussex.

The WIRE was part of Spurgeon's, a children's charity who provided the managerial, administrative and financial backbone to The WIRE's work. Together with the locally formed UnderWIRE Advisory Group, The WIRE gained long-term stability and support to help strengthen the foundations of the project.

Other support came from The Salvation Army, The Rank Foundation and The Body Shop Foundation.

The project was so successful that similar projects were set up around the country, including Crawley, Portslade near Brighton, Bognor Regis and Oxford.

The WIRE was based in two different locations. In 1996 it was in a port-a-cabin on the car park of the then Wickbourne Chapel. When the new Wickbourne centre opened in 2005 half the team moved from the temporary office that became their permanent office at Flora McDonald Junior School.

In July 2006 Paul Sanderson was awarded an MBE for his work with this and other similar projects.

In 2007 The WIRE Project came to an end due to funding changes.

The spirit of The WIRE project lives on through various organisations such as LA-UK, The Wickbourne Centre, Sure Start and West Sussex County Council.

# Carved wood vahanas in National Museum

Vahanas or "vehicles" of Hindu Gods are mythical characters having significant religious value. Temples in India use depictions of these vehicles in many forms during temple processions. National Museum, New Delhi houses a collection of **Carved Wood Vahanas** in the gallery of decorative arts. This collection at the National Museum is unique among museums in India, which includes large images of Garuda, Hanuman, elephant, horse, swan and lion and these artefacts are mostly from the period between the 17th and 20th century. Ancient Indian temples house numerous kinds of wood carvings having religious context to be used for various temple activities. The majority of *Vahanas* are made of wood and decorated with designs made with varied techniques. *Vahanas* have been mentioned in temple inscriptions dating back to the 13th century.

## Use of vahanas

Vahanas are carriages of the Hindu Gods and life-sized or large versions of *vahanas* are especially used to mount the movable images of deities. In southern India, especially Tamil Nadu, annual religious festivals that last from a week to ten days involve the parading of deities mounted on a vehicle around the temple.

## Symbolism

The *vahanas* are both the symbol and the emblem of the deity that they carry. In Hindu iconography, positive aspects of the vehicle are often emblematic of the deity that it carries such as *Nandi*, the bull, vehicle of Shiva, represents strength and virility. *Parvani* the peacock, vehicle of Kartikeya, represents splendor and majesty. The *Hamsa*, vehicle of Saraswati, represents wisdom, grace and beauty.

However, the vehicle animal can also symbolizes the evil forces over which the deity dominates. Mounted on Parvani, Kartikeya reins in the peacock's vanity. Seated on the "Mushika", Ganesh crushes useless thoughts, which multiply like rats in the dark. Shani, protector of property, has a vulture, raven or crow in which he represses thieving tendencies. Under Shani's influence, the vahana can make even malevolent events bring hope.

## The Artefacts

* Garuda (Vishnu's vehicle), wood, South India, 19th Century

This is a huge image of Garuda from Tamil Nadu, made of wood, painted and fixed with glass pieces. It is a large mythical bird in Hindu Mythology, usually the mount (*Vahana*) of Lord Vishnu. It is made in Human form having a body of a strong man with a human face, wings, Eagle beak like nose with a crown on his head. This was once a part of temple chariot procession **Ratha-Utsava**

* Peacock (Kartikeya vehicle, wood & glass, Tanjore, South India, 19th Century

This mayura vahana (peacock vehicle) is the mount of Lord Kartikeya or Murugan. It was carved in Tamil Nadu. This peacock vehicle would have been used in similar temple processions. Tanjore is one of the well known centres of wood carving of South India. Life size figures of peacock, beautifully carved and painted are found here known to be The vehicle of Subramaniyam.

* Horse, wood, Tanjore, South India, 19th Century Ayyappan, Budha, Revanta, Chandra (chariot of 10 white horses), Indra (chariot pulled by a horse named Uchchaihshravas - pictured), Surya (chariot pulled by seven horses or a seven-headed horse), Kubera, Kalki.

## Material and techniques

There is a great diversity of wood work and its techniques in Indian art. It is possible that a grammar of decorative art might be written from the study of wood carving alone and there is a circumstantial fact that the wood and the stone carvers belong to one and same caste. This may be accepted as an additional evidence in favour of gradual production of the one form the other and that at not very ancient date. There are various techniques by which the 'Wood' has been ornamented in several specific ways such as by carving, inlaying, veneering, lacquering, etc. The art of wood carving have been greatly influenced by the grain of the timber employed, that is possible with type of woods such as teak, red wood, walnut and low relief of Sheesham and Deodar the incised design of ebony. The intricate and the ornamental details of the Sandal and the barbaric boldness of *Rohira*, *Sal* and *Babul* and other coarse grained and hard woods.

India has a range of woods and every kind has its own particular properties of grain and strength. The skillful wood-workers has worked on it tirelessly and evolved styles and items depending on the quality of available wood and their own ingenuity to tackle it, thus creating an enormous range in wood products of all kinds. In Tamil Nadu, Virdunagar was once a traditional centre, Devakottai and Karaikudi are known to make traditional wooden panels in different sizes and Nagercoil and Suchindram have traditional carvers who make religion figures. Wood carvings are appreciated also for the special type of wood used in them, like rosewood for its faint perfume like rose water and lovely ebony-black colour. Madurai is famed for rose wood carving marked by its bold style and very detail works. Tirupati area of Andhara pradesh has red sandal wood known as 'Raktachandan' which is blood coloured Sandal wood. The coppery glow in this wood brings special charm. Sandal wood from Karnataka is also known for its own intrinsic quality and superb carving possibility. This region is inhabited by many of the most talented wood carvers .

The technique type of carving are in the round, in relief, chip, incised and piercing. In the first the object is totally detached from main wood background such as 3D form of a human and animal figure. In relief, the figure etched and raised on the background wood, which can be high or low relief. Chip consist of evolving designs by chipping the wood used mostly in ornamental and decorative work. Incised is done without ground work mostly put out flowers and creeper motifs. Pierced is for effective ornamentation in which the wood is completely cut away leaving just the design that calls for extra scale. Karnataka is also famous for Rosewood artefacts, some of the best specimen of wood work is provided by the mighty pyramidal gateway of temple. An extension of this covers Temple chariots or Rathas, as they are called. The one in which the deity is carried is called Agami and is the most heavily ornamented with numerous sculptures such as flying angels, horsemen, elephant, eagle, swan, tigers etc. Another style of ornamentation is painting and inlay, often with precious metals like silver and gold.

# Bharati Vij

**Bharati Vij** (born 9 January 1967) is a former Indian first-class cricketer who played for Punjab. After retirement, he became an umpire and also started a cricket academy.

## Career

Vij made his first-class debut for Punjab in the 1987/88 season. He came to the limelight in 1992–93 Ranji Trophy which Punjab won, by finishing as the highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 49 scalps at an average of 17.55. He took 6/61 and 3/33 in the final against Maharashtra at Ludhiana, leading Punjab to a 120-run victory and their maiden Ranji title.

In the following Ranji season, Vij took 38 wickets at 14.05 including five five-wicket hauls and two ten-wicket hauls to finish as the third-highest wicket-taker. Playing for North Zone in the 1994/95 Duleep Trophy, he took most number of wickets in the tournament (20). He finished with the most wickets in the following year's Duleep Trophy as well, with 26 wickets at 24.03. He was the second highest wicket-taker in 1996–97 Ranji Trophy with 53 wickets at 20.26 including six five-wicket hauls and three ten-wicket hauls.

With the emergence of Harbhajan Singh and Navdeep Singh, the 1997/98 season turned out to be the last for Vij despite finishing as his team's leading wicket-taker in that season's Ranji Trophy.

After retirement, Vij took up umpiring. In 2000, he became an on-field umpire for club cricket matches, before becoming a first-class and List A umpire in 2008. He also worked as the spin bowling coach for Punjab.

A cricket academy was started in Chandigarh called Bharati Vij Cricket Academy.

# Charles K. Tuckerman

**Charles Keating Tuckerman** (March 11, 1827 – February 26, 1896) was an American diplomat, author and the first American minister resident to Greece.

## Early life and family

Charles Keating Tuckerman was born on March 11, 1827, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was educated at Boston Latin School.

His first cousins included Edward Tuckerman, the botanist, Samuel Parkman Tuckerman, the composer, and Frederick Goddard Tuckerman, the poet.

## Career

After spending his 20s working overseas, he returned to the United States in 1856, settling in New York City, where he directed the New York Institution for the Blind.

President Andrew Johnson asked Tuckerman in 1867 to be the American minister resident to Greece, because of Tuckerman's experience overseas. The Senate refused initially to confirm Tuckerman's nomination, but he was officially appointed on March 11, 1868, and presented his credentials on June 16, 1868. Tuckerman was the first American diplomat ever posted to Greece. While there, he helped improve trading relations between Greece and the United States. His resignation in 1871 was delayed for six months by President Ulysses S. Grant, who wanted to keep Tuckerman on the job and presented recall on November 4, 1871. Tuckerman returned to the United States after his Greek posting.

### Writings

Tuckerman wrote three books:

* *The Greeks of To-day* (published in 1872 by G.P. Putnam & Sons)
* *Miscellaneous Poems* (published in 1880 by Moxon, Saunders and Co.)
* *Personal Recollections of Notable People at Home and Abroad* (published in 1895 in two volumes by Dodd Mead)

## Personal life

In 1858, Tuckerman married Mary Fleming. Together they had:

* Arthur Lyman Tuckerman (1861–1892), an architect who wrote three books: *A Short History of Architecture* (1887), *Design* (1891), and *Selections of Works of Architecture and Sculpture Belonging Chiefly to the Period of the Renaissance in Italy* (1891).

Tuckerman died in Florence, Italy, on February 26, 1896.

The term is often used as a reference to common drug trafficking routes that often flow through major cities. There are no definite drug corridors, but rather a series of connected networks which span across the globe. Drug corridors are reported to have a growing impact on drug use and associated crime along routes drug traffickers are known to travel.

A **drug corridor** is a commonly used drug trafficking route that allows for the flow of illicit drugs . The term is often used as a reference to common drug trafficking routes that often flow through major cities.

## Trans-American corridor

Inhabitants of the lower Midwest and South, including Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Carolinas, generally dub their locations to be part of the main trans-American drug corridor, as well as those of the Southwestern U.S. states such as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They claim that the major flow of drugs brought in from the Atlantic coast westward flows through their states and that they are in the main drug corridor.

# Chuck Bush

**Charles R. Bush III**  (born in Louisiana) is a filmmaker, and actor primarily known for co-starring with Kevin Costner in the 1985 film *Fandango.* In recent years Bush has become known as an entertainment entrepreneur, expanding his business holdings to film and television companies, a record label and a video game development studios.

## Background

Charles R. Bush, III was born in New Orleans, however "Chuck" grew up in the nearby city of Houma, Louisiana. In 1982 Bush moved to Austin, Texas. On April 3, 1983, at the age of 21, he entered a 7-11 store at the same moment Kevin Reynolds was exiting. Reynolds was in Austin to begin principal photography on his film *Fandango,* and Bush resembled a character that Reynolds had been unsuccessful in casting. The two men spoke briefly and Bush was asked to audition the next morning. Reynolds cast Chuck Bush as the serene "Dorman," a gentle-giant-type who rounded out a cast that included actors Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson.

Following *Fandango* Bush took a lead role in a horror film, *Terror in the Swamp,* being produced by his high school friend, Martin Folse.

## 1990s

Bush has since found success as producer, editor and writer of several family films and television projects. In 1990, Bush moved back to Louisiana. In 1995, Bush was the Supervising Producer on the film *Breezy Hill*. And in 1996 he produced the film *Favorite Son.* Bush then formed Burning Bush Communications, Inc. to assist in the production of non-toxic motion pictures shot around the world.

Burning Bush's largest client was The Visual Bible Project, which produced two epic-length motion pictures in the late 1990s. Burning Bush, in conjunction with LA Entertainment Group, developed 23 products for The Visual Bible. Burning Bush, in a strategic alliance with IBM Interactive Media, produced the first two disc DVD of an epic motion picture beginning in 1997 and released ultimately in 1999. That project was The Visual Bible's *The Gospel According to Matthew*, a word for word dramatic performance of the NIV Bible brought to life on film.

Mr. Bush also created the company Burning Bush Studios for audio post production of motion pictures. Here he was executive producer. Both these companies were located in Baton Rouge. During their existence, one or both of the Burning Bush companies took part in the post production of seven feature-length motion pictures. These films were produced in the United States, Morocco, Italy and Poland.

He married his wife, Angela Brown Bush, on October 5, 1996. She became Burning Bush's composer and music editor. These companies lasted until the early 2000s.

## 2000s

In 2003, Mr. Bush's company was the "employer partner" of a $1,000,000 grant provided by the Federal TANF2 program wherein Baton Rouge Community College acquired motion picture production equipment to train industry workers. Mr. Bush developed a curriculum and taught 110 students various aspects of the industry such as screen writing, lighting, camera and editing. In 2007, 83 of those students that went from welfare to work are still involved in the film industry and are now contributing to the economy.

In 2006, Chuck organized FTE Consulting Group, LLC in order to help other production companies and state governments enjoy the benefits of a mobile entertainment industry. He has consulted with the state of Mississippi on their recent tax incentives, he has worked with a facility in Alabama to attract film productions to its location and is currently working with two national television programs to help maximize their ratings and expand into ancillary markets.

## Recent work

Bush is still an active film producer . Now he has FTE Consulting Group, LLC which is a consultant firm exclusively for entertainment industry entities (state governments, production companies). Bush developed this company because of so many entertainment economies popping up around the country (Mississippi, Alabama, etc.). FTE's biggest client is Red Stick Studio Development, LLC which plans to build a $955 million  studio city in Baton Rouge. The development itself will be a full service production facility with 18 soundstages, full postproduction, location equipment rentals, a hotel and other living accommodations; the whole nine yards. As of May 2009, this studio development has not begun construction.

Bush's new entertainment company, Resurgent Entertainment, LLC,  is the exclusive production company for this studio development. The company has an entertainment fund that will undertake co-production deals with film producers/production companies. Resurgent will exclusively produce "non-toxic" motion pictures, television, music and video games. Projects include a post-Hurricane Katrina documentary, *The Kindness of Strangers* and a music project entitled *The Gospel According to Hip Hop*.

In 2007, Mr. Bush became a founding member of the Louisiana Entertainment Industries Association, Inc., a non-profit trade association whose purpose is to lobby policymakers and endorse industry professionals and entrepreneurs. Bush currently serves as LEIA's Executive Director.

## Into 2008

Ending 2007, Bush has formed the virtual studio, Resurgent Interactive, LLC,  which has immediately acquired Tesseraction Games, Inc., creators of the naval action game Enigma: Rising Tide. Resurgent has already developed an add-on for Enigma  entitled Hotel Da Volta, based on the short story by Jay Lake (Enigmacon 2004). This acquisition has expanded Bush's holdings to include film and television companies, a music label and now video game development studios. Resurgent plans to begin development of the Enigma sequel in early 2008.

Resurgent Interactive failed sometime in 2008. Tesseraction Games officially went out of business on December 19, 2008, due to Resurgent Interactive going into default. The *Hotel Da Volta* add-on and *Enigma: Rising Tide Chapter Two* sequel were never released.

# Joseph Smith (footballer, born 1888)

**Joseph Smith** (1888 – January 1928) was an English footballer who played as a full-back. Born in Sutton-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, he played in The Football League for Sheffield United and Derby County.

## Career

Smith began his career with Worksop Town before moving to Kiveton Park and then signing amateur terms for Sheffield United in 1907. Turning professional later the same year, Smith was to spend six seasons with United, but largely played in the reserve team. Smith did not make his first team debut until 1910 and was often injured due to his style of play which the local press described as "reckless" and suggesting that "... if he does not kill someone first, he will end up killing himself." Nicknamed 'old aeroplane' due to his habit of tackling with his arms and legs flailing, Smith finally begun to make regular first team appearances by 1911, but he soon broke his collar bone and lost his place in the side, eventually being placed on the transfer list.

Smith moved to South Shields in 1913 but spent only one season with the north-east club before joining Derby County in August 1914. Having played six league games for Derby, Smith lost his place once more and retired from football, setting up a business in Burton upon Trent where he lived until his death in 1928.

# 2020–21 Omaha Mavericks men's ice hockey season

The **2020–21 Omaha Mavericks men's ice hockey season** was the 24th season of play for the program and the 8th in the NCHC conference. The Mavericks represented the University of Nebraska Omaha and were coached by Mike Gabinet, in his 4th season.

## Season

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the entire college ice hockey season was delayed. Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Omaha's players would lose a season of play. However, the NCAA also approved a change in its transfer regulations that would allow players to transfer and play immediately rather than having to sit out a season, as the rules previously required.

Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, The entire NCHC conference began the season playing in Omaha, Nebraska. Despite playing all of these game in their home building, the Mavericks didn't officially play a home game in December. All games were considered 'neutral site' matches but Omaha was still able to use the familiar surroundings to get off to a good start. It took the Mavs a few games to get used to the compressed schedule but, by the end of the third week of play, the team had shot up into the middle of the top-20 rankings. UNO would hover around that point for the remainder of the regular season and, despite losing 3 out of 4 to North Dakota at the end, Omaha was projected to make the NCAA Tournament under normal circumstances.

When their conference tournament began, Omaha was hoping it could at least improve its standing and get a better matchup in late March. However, the team was outplayed by Denver for most of the contest and lost the quarterfinal 4–5. As a result, Omaha was ranked 14th by the selection committee and placed opposite to Minnesota in the regional semifinals. The Mavericks never really were in the game, surrendering the first three goals before ending the first down 1–3. The Gophers scored an additional trio in the second and then skated to a rather easy 7–2 win over Omaha.

Jacob Zab sat out the season.

# The Gabe Dixon Band

The **Gabe Dixon Band** were a three-piece band that was formed in the fall of 1998 at the University of Miami. The band played piano-driven rock and was named after Gabe Dixon, the lead vocalist and pianist of the band. After the band broke up in 2010, Dixon has continued as a solo artist.

## Members

## Career

In 1999, the band worked with producer/engineer Eddie Kramer to independently release their debut album, *More Than It Would Seem*. Upon graduation from the University of Miami, they relocated to New York City and were signed to Reprise by David Kahne. They released their major label debut, *On a Rolling Ball*, in 2002. Three years later, they released the *Live at World Cafe* EP, which featured the song "All Will Be Well," which was featured in promos for the NBC show *Conviction*.

Prior to the release of *On a Rolling Ball*, Dixon played keyboards and sang backing vocals on Paul McCartney's 2001 album, "Driving Rain." Dixon also performed live with McCartney at the Concert For New York City, a September 11 fundraiser. McCartney offered Dixon the opportunity to join his world tour, but Dixon declined the position to focus on the production of *On a Rolling Ball*.

The band played piano-driven rock akin to Ben Folds Five, albeit with a more serious tone. Billy Joel, Jackson Browne and early Elton John influenced the band's stylized vocal and piano rhythms.

Following the *Live at World Cafe* EP, the band signed with Fantasy Records and released *The Gabe Dixon Band*, in August 2008. In its initial days of release, it received praise from the music press and fellow artists. The band toured the United States from Aug 2008 through Nov 2008 with native New Yorker turned Canadian resident, newcomer Justin Nozuka.

Several tracks from the album received moderate media attention. "Find My Way" was the opening track to the film *The Proposal (2009)* starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. "All Will Be Well" was featured in the *Parks and Recreation* episode "End of the World". "Till You're Gone" was used in Bose store displays.

## Solo projects

As of 2010, Gabe Dixon is a solo artist. He released his first solo album, *One Spark*, on August 23, 2011 on Concord Bicycle Music. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and features a duet with Alison Krauss entitled "Even the Rain." Madi Diaz and James Walsh also lend their voices to the songs "Burn for You" and "I Can See You Shine" respectively.

On April 8, 2016, Dixon released his sophomore solo album, *Turns to Gold* on his own label, Rolling Ball Records. The album is produced by Paul Moak and features a duet with Natalie Prass entitled "The Way to Love Me".
