SugarHill burglary, 6.21.10

(HOUSTON, TX) - June 21, 2010 - This morning, the SugarHill Staff arrived to find that our studio complex had been burglarized. Although we lost instruments and recording gear, all client tapes and files are secure. A list of serial numbers and descriptions of the stolen items follows. If anyone has any information regarding the theft, or comes across any of the items taken, we'd appreciate a prompt call to our front office.

I'm happy to report that the incident has not interrupted any of our sessions. As I write, I can hear The Champion Sisters in Studio A cutting basic tracks for their new album. While SugarHill has endured many challenges in it's time, the story of being burglarized will have to wait until volume two of our recent book. For now we are busy securing the property, and taking the steps to insure that we don't have a repeat of this problem for another 70 years.

Thanks for your support,


Dan Workman
President, SugarHill Studios
