A Lesson From Buffett: Give While Living
Billionaire's Gift Shows Benefits
Of Giving Now -- Still, Some Donors
Can Risk Running Out of Funds
By RACHEL EMMA SILVERMAN and ELIZABETH BERNSTEIN
July 5, 2006; Page D1
…excerpted
Still, once the money is out of your pocket and in the charity's coffers, it's irrevocable,
which means you can't take the gift back. For some people, therefore, bequests are a safer
bet because they can change the terms of their will -- including how much they'll give
and to whom -- until they die, says Tony Martignetti, a New York fund-raising
consultant for charities. What's more, many donors' wealth is tied up in illiquid assets,
such as real estate or a family business, that might not be freed until death. And, of
course, many donors choose to make substantial gifts during their lifetime as well as
support their favorite charities or family foundations in their wills.
There is an ever-growing roster of ways to give away your money besides just writing a
simple check to a favorite charity. Some methods, such as popular donor-advised funds,
can be great tax-savers. A few charities, such as the Jewish National Fund, have new
"donor-managed investment account" programs in which financially savvy donors can
manage the investment of their charitable gifts, allowing the money to grow substantially
even after it's donated.

wrote the Belafonte classic, “Day-O,” living in humble luxury in
Queens.
Legendary Song Writer Lives Low Key Life In Queens
December 16, 2007
A legendary song writer who wrote the hit "Day-O" is a New York City native who lives in virtually
anonymity in queens. NY1’s Cheryl Wills interviewed the man whose songs have kept the world
humming and filed the following report.
For a half century, Irving Burgie has lived in the same house in Saint Albans, Queens. Retired
and widowed, the world famous songwriter can still belt out some of his most famous tunes.
Lord Burgie, as he was known in his hey day wrote the lyrics to "Day-O" – the Banana Boat song.
"It expresses the whole attitude in a capsule form of the working man,” said Burgie.
The song has stood the test of time. It's been featured in movies like “Beetlejuice.” Crowds at the
garden and stadiums everywhere still chant it at games. The Muppets couldn't get enough of it.
And a new generation of fans posted their performances of “Day-O” on YouTube.
And the low-key song writer who penned the tune says he enjoys living below the radar in the Big
Apple.
"Oh, New York is a great town,” he says. “What other town would you consider?”
In his new autobiography, "Day-O!" Burgie reflects upon his storybook life. His "Calypso" album is
the first album in history to sell one million copies. This summer, Burgie was inducted into the
Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Another Lord Burgie hit "Island in the Sun,” featured many of Burgie's songs and helped make
Harry Belafonte a superstar. Not bad for a kid born in Bedford Stuyvesant back in the roaring
twenties who started out a folk singer and sort of stumbled into writing.
"I stuck it out, not knowing really where I would end up,” says Burgie.
Burgie ended up being the king of calypso music, but he also helped write a famous Christmas
tune – a little known fact.
Irving Burgie never received one thin dime for writing the famous chorus for the Christmas classic
"Mary's Boy Child.” He did it without permission but the original song writers kept his version. But
he says the greatest gift of all is having a career that still has the whole world singing.

John Coltrane's Dix Hills home to become museum
BY JOHN LAUINGER

…excerpted
The Dix Hills home where saxophonist John Coltrane composed his
monumental "A Love Supreme" album was later abandoned, occupied by raccoons and destined
for destruction.
But the rundown ranch-style home on Candlewood Path, where Coltrane lived from 1964 until his
death three years later, was spared the
bulldozer - and is now being restored as a museum and shrine to the jazz icon.
The restoration effort, which has just begun, will get a major financial boost Saturday when "Hear
Our Song," a special charity musical
featuring Broadway talent, is performed at Candlewood Middle School in Dix Hills.
All proceeds from the performance, its producers said, will be donated to Friends of the Coltrane
Home, a nonprofit preservation society that
owns and is working to restore the cherished residence.
Speaking of the upcoming musical, Steve Fulgoni, an engineer and Coltrane fan from Dix Hills
who founded the preservation group, said,
"It's really been a wonderful thing."
Written by Susan DiLallo, the musical is being produced solely as a fund-raising vehicle,
according to its director, Joel Ehrlich, a former
Bronx teacher and entertainer who had a minor speaking role in "The Godfather."
The musical is about the trials and tribulations of five women, ranging in age from 20 to 60, and
includes 17 hit songs, including well-known
numbers by Sondheim, Gershwin and Elton John. Tickets are available at
www.thecoltranehome.org.
"You'll cry one minute and you'll laugh the next," said Ehrlich, 58, of Manhattan. "If you saw this
show on Broadway, you would not know
the difference. There is no amateurism.
"It's a Broadway musical on Long Island."
Fulgoni said the musical's ticket sales will help fund initial restoration work on the home.
