Facebook Group in Support of the Arts
by BluesAndJazzGuy
Hi All,
I'm passing on for your information a Facebook Group link that was created in response to a certain electioneering claim made in the 2008 campaign.
This is in case you may have an interest in checking out what's being said and done in the interests of arts support if you're not already a member of the group involved.
A group nearing 25,000 members, Ordinary Canadians DO SUPPORT the Arts, Mr. Harper. You are dead wrong
There are other arts and other election related Groups on Facebook you may or may not already be aware of which can be found under Groups.
Facebook members and those wishing to become members can access the above links.

Jazz musicians' co-operative
by BluesAndJazzGuy
Hi All,
Some of you may have already seen this initiative of Michel Martin's if you receive Ottawa Jazz Happenings. I'm passing it on to this list for those who may not be aware of it and have an interest. Michel's e-mail contact is below if you are.
========================================================================
Announcements
========================================================================
1. Jazz musicians' co-operative
Vocalist Michel Martin is "looking for leaders among jazz musicians
who'd like to help establish a jazz musicians' co-operative whose prime purpose
would be to operate a music venue with a music policy of jazz full-time,
all year-round. Co-ops and music venues are opening all the time;
the idea is entirely feasible."
If you're interested in this project, email Michel Martin at eq164(a)ncf.ca

Re: [Ottawamusicians] [Ottawabluesandjazz] Blues and Jazz and Other Possibilities the week of 21 September 2008
by BluesAndJazzGuy
For those on this list who aren't on the [Ottawabluesandjazz] list comprised of fans and some musicians, here's something that may be of interest to this list. The note below was sent earlier today to THAT list.
When highlighting of any particular event is considered warrented as was below, it's based on the effort of either the musical group, venue involved or someone on their behalf to show an interest in providing a reasonable description to let potential music fans know why they should get to that gig over the others available they may choose from.
