Mancini, director of artists and product

the close of the quarter.
Anyone who travels a great deal
(emphasis on the great) is invited to
send in his itinerary for comparison in \
an unofficial competition to find the
“Road Man of ’68—First Quarter.”
Mancini’s schedule thus far has included
trips to : Barbados for the MGM Convention (Jan. 6-13), Cannes
for the MIDEM meet (20-27), London
for press meetings and a personal appearance
tour with the Cowsills (27-
30), San Remo with the Cowsills (Jan.
30-Feb. 3), Milan and tv appearances
(3-7), Bologna and Rome by bus for
tv (7-9), Milan again (9&10) then 4
through New York to Nassau for the CMA board meeting (11-14) and visits
to MGM’s Nashville office (19 & 20).
Upcoming itinerary will take him to
the LA office (Feb. 27-Mar. 1), back
to Europe for a trip with Sandy Posey
and Jimmy Smith to the Grand Gala
du Disque in Amsterdam (4-11) and
the NARM Conference (17-23)
