Randy Wothke honored by ASCAP
American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers
Randy Wothke, percussionist and founding member of the Celtic band, The Rogues, was recently recognized with an ASCAPLUS Award by ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) for his original compositions. Mr. Wothke submitted three tunes in the Popular Music division: "Holy Moly" (Off Kilter, 1999), "The Rose of Sharon" (The Rogues 5.0, 2001) and "Groovy Scooby" (The Rogues 5.0, 2001) . The winners were selected by a four-judge panel from entries submitted by ASCAP members all around the country. Mr. Wothke said that he "considers this quite an honor because I've always thought of myself more as an instrumentalist than a composer."
