Scott Cook would like to invite everyone to 'tap'
one of his songs for the next Big Rock compilation album. "If you
have time, you could do me a huge favor by going by http://www.bigrockuntapped.com
and registering as a user so you can "tap" my songs for inclusion on a
compilation CD that will be distributed to venues all over Canada.
I saw this thing everywhere & I'd really love to get on it, but to
be considered for it, you need to be "tapped" by listeners.
Ya I know, a sorta popularity contest sorta thing. Stupid, but I'd
really like to get on this CD, and would be very grateful for your help
in doing that."

GRANDE MOTHERS RE-INVENTED
(original and former member of Frank Zappa’s Mothers
of Invention)
Festival Place (100 Festival Way, Sherwood Park)
Ticket Price: $38 cabaret tables, $36 boxes and
$32 theatre seats
Tickets available at the Festival Place Box Office 449-3378
or through TicketMaster
Frank Zappa's extraordinary musical legacy survives and
grows with The Grande Mothers Re-Invented, a group that features original
and former members of The Mother of Invention. They recently performed
to rave reviews throughout Europe and The States.
There is a famous poster that has a photo of a goateed
Zappa above the words “The modern day composer refuses to die”; a quote
from Zappa’s childhood idol, sonic innovator Edgard Varese. Ironically,
now bass player Roy Estrada is responsible for keeping Zappa’s music alive.
The bassist had a brief but extraordinary career during
the 1960s and early ’70s. After helping Zappa found the original Mothers
of Invention and contributing to such formative albums as “Freak Out!”,
“We're Only In It for the Money”, and “Uncle Meat”, he left to join another
ex-Mother, slide guitarist Lowell George, in Little Feat. Estrada then
left that band to join Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band.
Estrada was with Zappa’s Mothers of Invention from 1964
to 1969, 1975-1977 and 1982. Also in Grande Mothers: Re-Invented is Napoleon
Murphy Brock, who was with Zappa 1974-1984 on lead vocals, tenor saxophone,
and flute; and Don Preston on vocals, piano and synthesizer from 1965-1975.
2008 is the fifteenth anniversary of the passing of Frank

Rally to Demand Justice for Fort Chipewyan at the
Alberta Legislature
Join with members of Fort Chipewyan to demand justice
for their community.
Increasing numbers of the small aboriginal community of
Fort Chipewyan (downstream from the Alberta Tar Sands) are being diagnosed
and dying from rare cancers and other auto-immune diseases. A recent water
study confirmed that the water in Fort Chipewyan had increased levels of
arsenic, mercury and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and was not
safe for consumption, particularly in the fish eaten by local residents.
The study further supports the Mikisew Cree's recent call
for a moratorium on tar sands development.
But as stated by Councillor Russell Kaskamin of the Mikisew
Cree First Nation, "The Federal and Provincial governments are continuing
to issue approvals for projects despite all of the uncertainties with the
true environmental effects of oilsands development. This analysis
suggests that we can no longer continue to exercise our rights to harvest
foods due to the uncertainty of potential health
risks."
It is time to demand justice for the Mikisew Cree and
the residents of Fort Chipewyan.
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!!!

solo set from Shayne. Then we'll get back up there
with the band & kick it into high gear to take the night out.
There's no cover charge, the beer's delicious, the lines are clean, and

Community Arts Showcase at the Winspear
The showcase will represent the results of partnerships
between professional artists and community groups of various kinds, many
of them representing marginalized people and communities, including recent
immigrants, at-risk youth, seniors, people with disabilities, aboriginal
groups, gay and lesbian groups and others. David Barnet's seniors theatre
group will be presenting on Saturday afternoon. Rising Sun Theatre
will be presenting a video and talkback on Sunday afternoon March 16
between 2 and 3 pm in lobby B.
All of the projects have been funded through the Cultural
Capital Project and its Voices Less Heard program. Many different art forms
and communities will be involved. Attendees can sample many
perfomances, screenings, art displays, activities
for children, guest speakers from all over the world, panels, mini-symposia,
and snacks!
This is a significant event because it gives visibility,
in many cases for the first time, to the large amount of art-focused
community development and animation work now being done in the Edmonton
area, facilitated by professional artists and providing a medium of expression
for
many who have not had previous access to the arts or to the mainstream
public. The event showcases not only the
outstanding work of the artists, but articulates many
issues which need to be of concern to mainstream society. It will
also be fun and it's free!
Please come out, and please pass on this email and
spread the word in any manner that you can.

Songs of John featuring Mark Sterling
Festival Place (Sherwood Park)
7:30 pm
Last January, Mark Sterling told us that one of his great
ambitions was to do a show dedicated to the music of John Lennon. Sterling
believes that in the next 50 years Lennon will come to be regarded as one
of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century, joining giants like Cole
Porter, Oscar Hammerstein, and Stephen Sondheim. We decided to give
Sterling the chance he wanted - on December 8th he will offer his interpretations
of his favourite Lennon pieces, supported by a great local band.
The reaction to Sterling’s pre-show preview music has been fabulous.
The show will
happen only once this year and it’s at Festival Place
on December 8th
Tickets for all shows are available in-person at the Festival
Place Box Office (Monday to Friday 9:00 am-6:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am-4:00
pm), by telephone (449-3378), online at

Jungle Tales Archives
from October 2007
Hi folks,
Welcome to the second edition of Jungle Tales. There
will be no Monkey Biz for October as I don’t have any public performances
scheduled. But, this E-news does include info on a couple of gigs
that I'm doing in November.
I would like to encourage all Edmontonians to get out
and vote on Monday. A number of Brass Monkey affiliated artists have
donated for a silent auction to support Lewis Cardinal in his Ward 4 campaign
(more details below). And I'm including a short list of other candidates
that are sympathetic to the arts and worthy of your consideration (and
support).
Last month's gigs (Collage-A-Thon at the Art Gallery of
Alberta, Cortex at Latitude 53 and North of Nowhere closing party at Cosmopolitan
Music Society were all lots of fun. Many thanks to Tim Rechner, Marcus
Miller and the staff of the AGA, Sydney Lancaster & Phil Jagger of
Cortex, and
Lyn X and the Edmonton Small Press Association.
Tracy Kolenchuk has posted some great photos from Cortex, here:
http://www.pbase.com/tracyk/2007_09_18_cortex_at_latitude_53
If you would like me to include a community event, performance
or gathering in Jungle Tales, please drop me a line before the end of the
month previous to the event. As always, if you would prefer not to
receive messages of this kind, please respond with REMOVE in the subject
header.
Cheers,
John

Jungle Tales Archives
from September 2007
Hi folks,
This is a follow up to my usual Monkey Biz mail out.
I often receive requests for other artists to include their next performance
or project info in a Monkey Biz mail out. In order to maintain the
focus of Monkey Biz (projects in which I'm directly involved), I've decided
to send out a supplementary mailing (Jungle Tales) with info on other activities
that might be of interest to you. I will also use this alternate
mail out as a reminder of upcoming events and to announce any special parties...
If you'd rather not receive this mailing, but do want
to continue receiving Monkey Biz, please let me know. And, as always,
if you would prefer to not receive any E-news from me, simply respond with
REMOVE in the subject header.
Cheers,
John

RECORDING PROJECT : here is a message from our good friend,
Sue Hodge:
SUE’S IN THE STUDIO AGAIN!!!
After several years of ‘brewing’, I have returned to the
recording
studio with a new genre of original music. Nearly a decade
of studying
the use of sound and music in healing, along with years
of performing
every Sunday at the Centre For Spiritual Awareness has
been
heart-opening and life affirming for me. It's time to
share that. In a
few short months I will be delighted and excited to present
‘HeartSong’
(working title); a collection of new songs artfully crafted
to bathe you
in vibrant rhythms, sweet melodies and uplifting lyrics.
Featuring some
of Alberta’s finest musicians and co-produced by the
wonderful Rob
Hewes, I expect this CD will garner international acclaim.
For those of you who simply enjoy listening to beautiful
music, this
recording will make you happy. And for those of you who
are using music
therapeutically, you will find a myriad of choices to
create an
energetic lifeline to finding peace, opening the heart,
accepting
transition, self love and renewed faith.
I'm about 2/3's of the way, but I require assistance to
complete this
project, and I have an idea I think you will like!

CD.
