Andrew Korus

[lfmusiclover]

I'm 99.999% positive. If the one in NYC is incorrect, then there is an Andrew Korus in Chicago, who would be the next choice - which could lead to something very interesting.

FYI, if anyone wishes to contact him, or any artist for that matter, you can send BMI you're email/letter/fax, and they'll send it to the person on your behalf. Not that I think it would make any difference in this case. I think ASCAP will do the same.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to be so positive that this Andrew Korus is the right one?

I agree about BMi. I don't think it will make any difference at all. At least in this case.

What I did was, I went on his BMI repertoire. He is listed as "ANDREW W. KORUS". So I typed that, including the "W." into Anywho.com or Whitpages.com, and it listed one in New York. Alternatively, there is a match, without the "W." in Chicago, IL. But sometimes middle names/initials are not listed, so I can only be 99% sure.

I see. Well then maybe you DO have the right guy.

I called Andrew Korus 5 years ago. It was, in fact, a New York number I remember the area code was 718, which also happens to be my birthplace - Brooklyn, NY. unfortunately he was less than courteous with me. Told me he didnt have the song a CD. Therefore I lost his number and didnt bother calling him again. His # , AFAIK should be on the BMI listing

I knew I had the right guy!

BMI does not list contact information publically. You have to go through them, and even then, they don't give it out. They just relay your message to the person you wish to contact. At least I would hope so. I don't want anyone here getting MY contact info.

Well since it was so long ago the number for AK was listed, thats how I was able to call him in the first place....Frank Josephs contact info was on there once upon a time, but no longer

Just thought I'd pop in to share something with you all. I've located an Andrew Korus in Manhattan, but his phone number is a 212, not a 718. Here is the listing:

Anyone bold enough to give it a go?

[Gil]

No.

But area codes do change, so.. yup. thats him.

[LFMusicFan]

Wow, you guys are really determined to get that song!

[lfmusiclover]

Actually Gil, I was thinking it might be a cell phone. 

Area codes don't change. at least no existing ones. New ones, however, might pop up.

212 is the Manhattan code. 718 is the code for Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island.

You obviously know a whole lot more about it than me, so I'll take your word for it! 

[Gil]

Mine is 847, with 224 overlay.

Yeah I grew up in New York. I go there quite often during the holidays.

Mine is 602, even though it should be 480.
