NEW YEAR'S EVE IN NOTL WITH THE NIAGARA RHYTHM SECTION

Where: The Anchorage, 186 Ricardo St. Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON, 905-468-2141

When: 10 pm - ??

Merry Christmas, boys and girls.

New Year's Eve is almost upon us and if you haven't already made plans, I urge you to get your tickets while they're still available for the place to be in NOTL, the 2nd annual, NEW YEAR'S EVE AT THE ANCHORAGE WITH THE NIAGARA RHYTHM SECTION.

Our special guest is the legendary keyboard player Denis Keldie. As a studio musician, Denis Keldie has over a hundred albums to his credit, as well as numerous film and TV projects. Recent CD's include Rita Coolidge with Ry Cooder, Natalie MacMaster, Jeff Healey, Prairie Oyster, The Boomers, Eddie Schwartz, Jesse Cook, Stompin' Tom Connors, The Lincolns, The Extras, King Biscuit Boy, The Stampeders, Gordie Sampson, Etta James, and TV and live appearances with The Rankins, The Lincolns, Colin James, Jann Arden, Amy Sky, Ashley MacIsaac, Bruce Guthro, Crowbar and many others. He knows a million songs, and last year the dance floor was packed all night long! And on top of all that, he's a really nice and funny guy!

Also joining us will be winemaker and percussionist Sandra Marynissen and perhaps some other surprise guests. The rest the band will be our usual group of crazy guys, including the amazing Steve Grisbrook on guitar, the very appealing Herb Nelson on keyboards, the silver-haired devil Penner MacKay on percussion, Dangerous Dave Norris on drums and little old me on bass. How can you go wrong with a band that has three drummers and two keyboard players?

Tickets are going fast and we were sold out last year. The show starts at 10 pm and champagne at midnight is included in the ticket price. It was a wonderful evening of great songs, dancing and good friends, so give the Anchorage a call and reserve now! 904-468-2141.

So, in the spirit of the holiday season, I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and I hope we can celebrate the end of 07 and the start of 08 together.

AFTER 4 YEARS, WE'RE STILL NOTL'S BEST KEPT SECRET!

It's true. People still say to me, "There's music at the Anchorage?" Go figure. I guess you could say that those folks who come out on a regular basis are part of an exclusive club. And, don't get me wrong - while we'd like the place to be packed every single Saturday night, it's kind of fun when people show up for the first time and have such a good time. So you're welcome to tell your friends about our regular little shindig, but it's ok to just keep it to yourself if that's what you want.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Just a quick note to let you know: HELL FOR THE HOLIDAYS is now available as an audio download at Audible.com!

THE CROSSROADS

2008 looks to be a very exciting new year. My first book written for Middle Grade readers (and anyone else who likes a spine tingling story) comes out on May 27th!

THE CROSSROADS can now be pre-ordered from Random House or Amazon!

HELL HOLE

As you've probably heard, HELL HOLE - the next book in my John Ceepak Jersey Shore mystery series - will be published by St. Martin's Minotaur next year (July 22, 2008). They've changed the look of the covers. No more cotton candy pink, taffy green, or snow cone purple. But, I like the new cover and hope you do, too. You can already pre-order the book on-line or at your favorite independent bookseller.

WELCOME TO THE AMUSEMENT PARK OF DEATH

According to friends at Haru Sushi around the corner, that's the translated title for TILT A WHIRL. This is the cover art for the first foreign translation of Danny and Ceepak's adventures. Danny looks a little young for the job but I liked the artwork so much, I turned it into a T-shirt at my Cafe Press shop! Click here to order!

AND FINALLY...

And, if you want to get a sneak peek at Ceepak #5, MIND SCRAMBLER, currently under construction, you'll have to get past the guard cat, Tiger Lilly, first!

I hope you and your loved ones—two legged and four-legged—have a wonderful holiday!
Thanks for the support!

LEGENDARY AFRO-PERUVIAN SONG & DANCE TROUPE PERÚ NEGRO


Legendary Afro-Peruvian Song & Dance Troupe PERÚ NEGRO

Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 8:00 pm / Roy Thomson Hall / Toronto


Tickets: $59.50 to $29.50 – Call 416-872-4255

or visit the Roy Thomson Hall Box Office at www.roythomson.com.


Toronto, December 19, 2007 - The world-famous 22-member folkloric ensemble Perú Negro, celebrates Peru’s African-derived culture with vibrant dances, passionate songs and colourful costumes in a high-energy show at Roy Thomson Hall on Tuesday, January 22, 2008, at 8 p.m. The performance launches the company’s 10-week, 40-city North American tour.

Perú Negro’s cultural heritage dates from the early 1700s when Peru’s slaves were banned from using drums. To express and preserve their rhythms, the slaves substituted objects found in the fields, such as wooden fruit and vegetable crates, which developed into the cajón, the national instrument of Peru. (The cajón is a rectangular wooden box, which the player sits on and beats with both hands to create the intricate rhythms that form the foundation of most Afro-Peruvian tunes.) Other percussion instruments that evolved from this period are the cajita (a church collection box that hangs from the neck and is played by opening and closing its lid and tapping its side with a stick); and the quijada de burro (a dried-out donkey jawbone used as a shaker and scraper instrument). These unusual set of instruments, when joined by Latin percussion, guitars, and passionate vocals, create the distinctive and unforgettable sound that is the heart of Afro-Peruvian music.

Perú Negro was founded in 1969 by musician-choreographer Ronaldo Campos de la Colina and 12 family members. The group soon won the grand prize at the Hispanoamerican Festival of Song and Dance in Buenos Aires and rapidly became a Peruvian national treasure. These pioneering members helped spark the revival of Peru’s rich black cultural traditions and led to the preservation and development of Afro-Peruvian music.

Under the artistic direction of the founder’s son, lead percussionist Jaime Ronaldo Campos Ponce (whose wife, Mónica Dueñas, is the lead singer), Perú Negro remains a family affair that includes two generations of world-class performers.

Appointed by the Peruvian government as the official “Cultural Ambassadors of Black Peru,” the Lima-based music and dance company tours the world and runs its own school where it trains its junior troupe, Perú Negrito.

In 2005, Perú Negro was honored with two Grammy nominations for its second U.S. album, Jolgirio.

For more information, visit http://www.perunegro.org.

This performance is part of "Share the Music", the Corporation’s education and outreach program. Over 300 complimentary tickets will be provided to under-served young people to attend the concert and participate in a pre-concert workshop hosted by Latin American musician/composer Edguardo Moreno.

"Share the Music" aims to enrich and inspire young people through exposure to world-class performers and related educational activities. It is sponsored by Sun Life Financial and supported by many individuals and organizations. For more information, visit www.roythomson.com/shareMusic.cfm.

RANDY OXFORD BAND - INTERNATIONAL BLUES NEWS !!


The word came out of Memphis,TN, today that the Randy Oxford Band's current CD, Memphis to Motown, has made it through yet another round of judging and is now in the finals of the 2008 International Blues Challenge (IBC) in the category of "best self produced CD", representing the South Sound Blues Association (SSBA), based in Tacoma, WA. The finals will be held on February 2nd, 2008, at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis, TN.

Only 5 final CDs made it through two intense rounds of judging by international Blues industry professionals. Submitted CDs from around the world were first judged in competitions on a local and regional level by each individual Blues organization before being submitted to the IBC. Once the IBC received the CDs, they were then put through 2 more rounds of judging before the "last 5 spinning" were sent to the 2008 IBC finals.

On a personal note, band leader Randy Oxford knew he might have something very special when Elvin Bishop came up to him on the recent Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise (LRBC) to the Mexican Riviera and said..."Hey, Randy, thanks for recording my song (I'll be glad)...I love your arrangement of it"...."me and the boys in the band are really digging the sound of your band on the CD"...Regardless of what happens on February 2nd 2008 at the IBC finals, at the Orpheum theater in Memphis,TN, the Randy Oxford Band is proud and honored to be named as 2008 IBC finalist in the category of "best self produced CD" for their Memphis to Motown CD.

We would also like to acknowledge the recent recordings of two other SSBA bands who submitted their CDs to the SSBA for consideration in the 2008 IBC - the Michal-Miller Band and Becki Sue and her Big Rockin' Daddies!. Both bands have recently released truly world class recordings and they also deserve the same kind of international recognition.

The Blues is alive and well in the Pacific Northwest right now and we're glad to be a part of "the ride" while it lasts. Randy predicts that......"The Blues will be "great in 2008".

You can purchase a copy of this "IBC finalist" CD, Memphis to Motown, at our website - www.randyoxford.com or www.cdbaby.com or at any of the Randy Oxford Band's live shows.

Sincerely,


The Randy Oxford Band..."it feels good".

KATE SCHROCK RELEASES INVOCATION CD


Invocation, the new CD from Kate Schrock, is now available on I-Tunes, CDBaby.com & Amazon.com as well as directly through the artist's website. Please take a listen and feel free to post reviews on both Amazon and CDbaby sites (we need your input!).

Invocation was written and recorded over a 3-year period, during which time Kate traveled twice to Jamaica to work with Bob Marley and the Wailers' horn player, Glen DaCosta. Kate also traveled to Ecuador with Heifer International. These experiences helped color the themes of this record. The addition of Glen DaCosta has given the record a world music feel - with elements of reggae in the mix. The result is 10 passionate, emotionally and musically aggressive and diverse tracks - offering insight and hope at this time of crazy global changes.

This record can make an excellent X-Mas gift! It is not too late to order directly thru Kate herself. She will sign, gift-wrap and ship to whomever you like for only $15 total (fantastic holiday deal)! Call her with your visa /MC info and she'll get right on it, in time for the holidays!

THE JOHN MARTIN AWARD

It is criminal that The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) is feting Moses Znaimer with honours next year at the Juno Awards while it has long overlooked the late John Martin.Manchester-born Martin was the visionary behind the birth of the MuchMusic music channel, and the creator of such innovative music-based TV series as “The New Music” and “Intimate & Interactive,” among others.“The New Music,” a news-magazine style show launched on Toronto’s CITY-TV in 1979, was a creative breakthrough in both television and music because no one in North America had taken pop music so seriously before.With its success, Martin began to plan a station devoted to music with Znaimer’s support. The result was MuchMusic that launched in 1984. "We were a bunch of loonies," Martin once recalled. "My gig was to sort of mould the anarchy.”Martin left MuchMusic in 1993. He remains a pivotal figure in Canadian music; an imaginative pioneer who set the guidelines for popularizing Canadian artists home and abroad.

In his memory, The LeBlanc Newsletter launches the annual John Martin Award honouring those figures working in music-affiliated industries who have also richly contributed to the musical life of Canada.

The first recipients are:

+ Newfoundland singer/songwriter Ron Hynes: The widely-proclaimed “man of a thousand songs.” With a career of over 30 years, Hynes has crafted songs covered by Emmylou Harris, Christy Moore, Mary Black, Murray McLauchlan, John McDermott, Shaye, and classical soprano Hayley Westenra. He is a six-time East Coast Music Award winner, and a Genie Award winner.

+ Toronto publicist/promoter Richard Flohil. The man of a thousand clients. Renowned for his fervent support of roots, blues and jazz. His current client roster includes Downchild Blues Band (37 years), Stony Plain Records (27), Loreena McKennitt (20), and singers Serena Ryder (four), Justin Rutledge (three), Paul Reddick (four), and Roxanne Potvin (three). He also oversaw media breakthroughs by k.d. lang, Colin James, and so many others.

QUICK TAKES

++ Eagle Rock Entertainment has shifted its Canadian distribution from EMI Music Canada to Universal Music Canada, effective Feb. 1, 2008. As part of the deal, Vivendi Visual Entertainment Canada, the video arm of UMC, will now distribute Eagle Rock's non-music visual content. Universal Music Canada has also extended its distribution pact with Chicago-based Victory Records.

++ The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) has parted ways with Calgary’s Zerr Communications after only a few months. Toronto’s Holmes Creative Communications returns as CARAS’ public relations voice for a two-year term.

++ Canadian singer/songwriter Leslie Feist was driving through a Canadian blizzard Dec. 6 when text messages came pouring into her mobile phone about her four Grammy nominations. She received new artist, and female pop vocal performance nods as well as nominations for best short form music video (for "1234") and best pop vocal album for "The Reminder.” "I was driving along in shock, trying not to run off the road,” Feist says.

++ Acadian singer/songwriter Ronald Bourgeois will be paying close attention to the Grammy run-off. “The La Louisianne Sessions” by Louisiana’s Roddie Romero and The Hub City All-Stars is nominated in the best Zydeco Or Cajun Music Album category. It includes Bourgeois’ song “Viens Avec Moi.” Canadian performers Lennie Gallant, Teresa Ennis, Mary Jane Lamond, Blou, Jean-Francois Breau, Mathieu D’Astous and others are slated to record a tribute album to the legendary Bourgeois in 2008.

++ Kellylee Evans and Michael Kaeshammer will co-host the 7th Annual National Jazz Awards in Toronto Apr. 8. Featured performers will be the Mike Ruby Quartet, the Brandi Disterheft Quintet, the Elizabeth Shepherd Trio, the Laila Biali Trio, the October Trio, Alex Bellegarde, and Nikki Yanofsky.

++ Pianist/composer/arranger Hilario Durán is one of three recipients of the 2007 Latin Jazz USA “Chico O’Farrill Lifetime Achievement Award.” It will be presented Dec. 22 in Miami.

++ New Music West is accepting artist submissions until Feb. 1, 2008. Applicants must submit a photo, bio, two songs, and an application form. The festival/conference takes place in Vancouver May 14-18. For further information check: www.newmusicwest.com.

++Rolling Stone magazine has partnered with Toronto-based Somerset Entertainment for a series of compilations being sold exclusively at Best Buy outlets.

++ Canadian producer/singer/songwriter Daniel Lanois will release his album “Here Is What Is” at redfloorrecords.com in a CD-quality WAV format, starting Dec. 15.

++ Industry Minister Jim Prentice announced Nov. 28 that the Canadian government will hold an Advanced Wireless Services Spectrum Auction in May, 2008 to encourage greater competition within the Canadian wireless market. It seems that Prentice noticed that wireless pricing in Canada is too high, particularly for data. Maybe, he figured it out by studying the wireless bills of his daughters, Christina, Cassia, and Kate.

++ Norris-Whitney Communications has released the 704-page directory “Music Directory Canada, Ninth Edition.” It features over 60 categories as well as artist contacts, award winners, and Canadian chart toppers.

RANDOM CHUCKLES:

FINAL NOTE

++ Folk singer/songwriter/poet /actor/columnist Norm Hacking died Nov. 25 at his home in Toronto of a heart attack. For three decades, Hacking was a beloved fixture on Canada’s folk festival circuit, releasing 9 albums. He was honoured in 2001 by Canadian songwriters Jason Fowler, Jory Nash, Marianne Girard, and Chris Whiteley recording the album, “One Voice: A Tribute to Norm Hacking, Volume 1.”

BARRY & LIGHTFOOT R.I.P.

Barry Harvey died in Pickering, Ontario on Dec. 3. He was 56. For 26 years, as business manager of Early Morning Productions, he was the behind-the-scenes whirlwind supporting Canada's foremost musical chronicler, Gordon Lightfoot. A service commemorating Harvey’s life took place in Toronto Dec. 9 with Lightfoot performing a moving musical tribute to his fallen partner. Harvey oversaw Lightfoot’s vast recording and songwriting legacy; tightly controlled access to the iconic musical figure who last year returned to performing from the brink of death with an abdominal hemorrhage in 2000; and deftly handled the demands and needs of the mercurial craftsman who believes in perfection.Harvey was fiercely protective of Lightfoot. If someone cheated Gordon, Harvey would come after them with the steely determination of a seasoned bounty hunter. Not only did he have business savvy, Harvey had road sense (dating from the ‘70s when he was road manager with Chilliwack and Toronto), telling musicians under him, “if I can’t get it for you, you don’t need it.” “Barry was a wonderful personal manager,” recalls Lightfoot. “He did a great job.”

COPYRIGHT REFORM: MUGGED IN OTTAWA

New copyright reform legislation in Canada, which had been expected to arrive in the House of Commons on Dec. 11, has been delayed.Last week, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives filed a notice indicating the bill would be introduced this week. That doesn’t appear to be happening."A bill will not be tabled in the House until such time as myself and the minister of Canadian Heritage, Status of Women and Official Languages are satisfied," Industry Minister Jim Prentice said in the House of Commons on Dec. 10.A spokesperson for the Minister's office has since said there had been no date set for tabling the new copyright bill which the Conservatives had indicated in their Throne Speech in October would be introduced this session.Parliament will take a break until January after its Dec. 14th session.A storm of intense negative Internet-based activity, including blogs and a Facebook campaign overseen by Michael Geist, a professor of law at the University of Ottawa, may have sidelined the bill after putting Prentice and the minority Conservatives in the hot seat. Geist first posted a YouTube video that lists 30 ways in which people could protest the legislation, and he also set up a Facebook group on Dec. 1 which now has more than 14,000 members opposing the legislation.

A small but vocal crowd of 50 confronted Prentice about the bill in his Calgary constituency office on Dec. 8.All of this, along with thousands of emails and letters protesting the bill, apparently led Prentice to order revisions of several sections of the legislation.Critics are fearful that the new legislation will mirror the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and contain controversial anti-circumvention legislation (dealing with the use of technology that blocks users from gaining access to information without paying for it, and imposing stiff penalties on those breaking through the barriers).

Critics also contend that there will likely be no flexible fair dealing in the copying of digital materials, making illegal such acts as television time shifting, file-sharing of music and video files, and copying files to DVDs or MP3 players.

At his Calgary constituency office, Prentice defended the Conservative’s bill saying it would bring Canada up to date with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) agreements the Canadian government signed in 1997, and will bring Canada in line with its international obligations. Canada signed the WIPO agreements but has not yet implemented or ratified them, which has provoked criticism from its trading partners, he said.

Phase II revisions to Canada's Copyright Act in 1996, known as Bill C-32, which augmented 1988 revisions, did not address Canada's obligations under WIPO's agreements.

In 1997, Minister of Canadian Heritage Sheila Copps and Minister of Industry John Manley announced that the Liberal government was committed to signing and ratifying the two WIPO treaties.The two treaties-the Performances and Phonogram Treaty and the Copyright Treaty-deal with copyright protection in the digital age and with intellectual property protection for performers and phonogram producers.The Liberal government under Paul Martin tried to pass its own copyright reform bill, C-60, in 2005 but it was derailed when the party was brought down in 2005 in a non-confidence vote.The same fate could now befall the Conservative’s copyright reform bill if an early election is called or forced.A STARRY-EYED BELIEF IN FAIRY TALESLeave it to the naively enthusiastic Canadian Music Creators Coalition (CMCC) to issue a statement praising the Songwriters Association of Canada (SAC) for “its innovative, forward-thinking proposal to provide Canadians with legal and affordable access to file-sharing services.”On its website, SAC proposes the creation of “The Right to Equitable Remuneration for Music File Sharing” with a license fee of $5.00 per Internet subscription per month.SAC argues this would legalize peer-to-peer file sharing while generating significant new revenue for creators and the music industry. "This is the first progressive proposal we've seen in Canada to address file-sharing," says Andrew Cash, spokesperson of CMCC, a Canadian artist-based coalition that includes Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, Broken Social Scene, Matthew Good, Metric, and Sam Roberts. Significantly, no other Canadian-based industry collective or association has endorsed SAC’s proposal. The basic problem is that it is based on compulsion, not negotiation. Well, that’s a non-starter in today’s teeming multi-partnered digital world.SAC also underestimates the ferocity of the telecommunication and cable companies that would oppose this program, and underestimates their lobbying clout.Finally, would Canadians cough up a further $5 to travel the Internet highway, particularly those not P2P file-sharing? Only in a fairy tale.SPAM QUEENS & LIMOUSINESEach week music journalists and columnists across the country wade through hundreds of emailed press releases to filter out news and possible story leads. Most releases are tossed or unread.With many journalists discouraging direct telephone contact, and with ease of mass emailing, publicists are relying more and more on spammed mail.And outpourings often bow to the fatuous. Consider these recent releases:#1: “Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo admits to eTalk that he and fellow finalist Tara Oram are indeed a couple, confirming rumours spreading since the end of the Idol season…..Tonight, the Season 5 champ tells eTalk exclusively about the romance: "I'll set it straight. We are together, we are a couple. I feel like we have something very special.”#2: “Through his music The Cliks’ lead singer, Lucas Silveira ‘wears his heart on his tattoo sleeve.’ In addition to the winged guns, pouncing dragons and carefully etched word ‘Survivor,’ the electrifying front man will add a new tattoo to his collection when he tapes ‘LA Ink’ in December (new episodes to air on TLC channel beginning January 8th, 2008). As the first transgender artist signed to a major label (Warner Music Canada), Silveira says his tattoos’ ‘commemorate what I went through.’” WARNER & EMI REGROUPWarner Music Group Corp. said Dec. 6 that its 4th quarter profit slipped 58 percent due to soft international market and a decline in music sales."We‘re not going to continue signing artists for recorded music revenue only," declared Warner CEO Edgar Bronfman during a conference call with financial analysts.This year, Warner became a minority owner investor in two artist management companies, Taisuke in Japan and Irving Azoff's Front Line Management, part of its strategy to pursue all-encompassing deals with artists. Warner recently announced it had formed a joint venture with the family of the late Frank Sinatra to handle management and licensing of a wide-range of products, from music to film.Meanwhile, Terra Firma, the venture capital group owner of EMI, is nearing completion of a £250 million equity fund raising, after telling potential investors it can lift profits in recorded music from £61 million in 2007 to £528 million in 2012. Terra Firma is selling a stake of about 15 per cent of EMI,Terra Firma forecasts it can increase EMI’s profits by cutting costs by £135 million annually and outgrowing the sluggish international music market. Meanwhile, with EMI slipping below Warner to be ranked 4th in the world with a 13% market share, bodies continue to tumble. It was announced Dec. 11 that Ian Hanson has stepped down as EMI Group COO. He was promoted in Jan. 2007 to COO from EMI Music senior VP, chairman's office, reporting to EMI Group CEO Eric Nicoli. Nicoli was ousted weeks after Terra Firma acquired EMI in August.

The beat goes on.
