Thanks Josée. The way it normally works with my Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing guide service is that the musicians or someone on their behalf add their gigs to the DIY (do-it-yourself) calendar http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/MonthsCalendar.html I've appended the process at the end of your note. Usually Sundays, I look at what's been added to the calendar and if there are enough gigs to highlight something to my ottawabluesandjazz list ottawabluesandjazz(a)lists.ncf.ca to live music fans, I send a note to the list. I also have another list for musicians that you may wish to consider joining. Anyway, if you add your gig to the calendar using the process below, I'll be sure to cover it in what I send to my ottawabluesandjazz(a)lists.ncf.ca mailing on 5th July. Here are links to both lists for your info: http://lists.ncf.ca/mailman/listinfo/ottawabluesandjazz http://lists.ncf.ca/mailman/listinfo/ottawamusicians Jim Roy Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Phone: (613) 829-3725 www.ottawabluesjazz.ca Happy B-Day in advance Jim.
