D.D.’s Blue Notes
If you’re planning on releasing a CD anytime in the near
future, you might want to consider sketching a picture of yourself and using
that for the cover art. Using an image
that depicts anything or anyone else without providing compensation
could now be construed as copyright infringement and litigated as such. I hope I didn’t just speak any syllables that
belong to someone else – a penny for your thoughts? That being said, apparently the Royal Mint is
backing down on its plan to charge Nova
Scotia musician Dave Gunning for the depiction of the
one-cent coin on his CD cover art.
Chris White, volunteer coordinator and community outreach
coordinator from 2011-2012 with CKCU 93.1 FM in Ottawa, received the Helen Verger Award at
this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival. Chris
co-founded the festival in 1993 and was its artistic director for 16
years. Helen was the co-owner and
operator of the legendary and much-loved Rasputin’s Café in our nation’s
capital, along with her son, Dean Verger, also with CKCU. The venue sustained major damage in a
suspected case of arson a number of years ago and never re-opened. The Vergers have roots in Newfoundland
and Labrador.
British Columbia punk-rocker and long-time activist Joe
Keithley of D.O.A. has thrown his Mohawk into the political ring, seeking to
win the NDP vote in his riding of Coquitlam-Burke
Mountain. “Shithead”, as he was known by
in musical circles, spoke to a crowd last fall in Confederation Park
during the Occupy Ottawa movement. Oh,
and the band recently released a new CD called We Come in Peace. I had a
chance to meet him personally at a gig at Mavericks and found him quite
charming.
Rising Star Promotions is proud to announce that ADAM TUCK
will be the Special Guest at the 8 BALL AITKEN show at the S.S. MEIGLE show, in
Seal Cove, Conception Bay South (CBS, for those of you listening in from Australia,
where 8 Ball hails from). Chris Kirby,
whose music I’m going to play shortly after I stop babbling, will be opening
for 8 Ball at Distortion on George
Street on September 20. That party’s gonna be a double humdinger!
I’d like to wish an early happy birthday to Shelley
Hardinge, a.k.a. Hip Shakin’ Mama.
She’ll be turning 23 tomorrow.
Right, Shelley? Oh, wait - it’s
Jimmy Bowskill who is turning 23 then. I
can’t believe a decade has already passed since I first heard him belting out
the blues in Dunnville, ON.
I’m D.D. Rocker (a.k.a. Misty Blue 1955) and you’re
