What is Los Angeles Music Week?

"Los Angeles Music Week (LAMW) is a seven day celebration of Los Angeles'
multifaceted musical heritage, serving the entire city and county of
Los Angeles, now in its ninth year. Throughout the week of December
8 to 15, 2002, LAMW annually showcases L.A.'s musical past and
the many artists whose legendary contributions have impacted
this city, while building links to all citizens. This is accomplished
through performances, interviews, student projects, performer
showcases and special events, representing music of all genres,
held at multiple locations. LAMW's goals are to encourage legendary
artists to teach and mentor students, raise public awareness of the
diverse musical genres performed in this great city, honor cultural
diversity and encourage those who artistically educate our youth.
Every year, LAMW coincides with the issue of the U.S. Postal
Service's Commemorative Music Heritage Stamps, whereby framed
enlargements are presented to honorees. Rare cancellations with
postmarks, true collector's items since 1996, may only be purchased
through Los Angeles Music Week."
