The ottawabluesandjazz@lists.ncf.ca goes to about 300 subscribers, some who are
also part of this ottawamusicians@lists.ncf.ca you are part of.
 
Each week, when there's enough on the Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide calendar 
to justify my sending a note to my subscribers as there was this week, I send an alert
such as the one this week that's also on line: http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/OJAB14Jn09.htm
here as well as on Facebook.

There's no guarantee that I'll pick up on what's on the calendar and give it a mention. The only
guarantee is that if it's not on the calendar, it WILL NOT be covered.
 
The rest is, as I tell my ottawabluesandjazz@lists.ncf.ca subscribers "it's musician/venue
optional to post, and amend the listings as needed".  
 
I cannot help promote what those who judge their project or venue already sufficiently promotes
without detail on their offering will get the audience they expect to be
at the door waiting to
justify the 'live music crumbs' the place is tentatively ready to put out for a band and judge 
its popularity from the live-on-the-floor and bar and service profits. 

For the bands that are doing all that works and brings in the crowds, not much is needed
on your behalf. For others who feel that maybe something is missing, possibly it's
the promotional part of your art? Who knows? That's left up to your own judgment.
