SNAGG MANAGEMENT

Don Baskin, President, also President of Baskin and Associates, Inc., began his career in music in 1964, as the co-founder of Syndicate of Sound. During that time, he co-wrote the hit song, "Little Girl". The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum states that "Little Girl" was a pivotal song in the history of rock & roll. Today, this song is played every 20 minutes at the Hall of Fame. In 1996, Don entered into a licensing agreement with music's premiere trade publication, Billboard, to provide chart-related products to Top 10 charted Billboard musicians. Don's association with Billboard resulted in the creation of the only officially recognized, computer-based chart certification process for recognition and achievement in the music industry. In 1999, Don entered into an exclusive agreement with Fender to market a 'Top 10 Stratocaster'. Baskin & Associates own the rights to this instrument. Don began the SNAGG enterprise in March, 2000 when he realized that musical instrument theft could be greatly reduced by the effective deployment of RFID technology in musical instrument manufacture, or by retrofitting instruments with the SNAGG Microchip.
