| Blues in the Schools Makes Whispering Oaks Sing by Reno Mussatto Click on photo to see it larger On October 15th, Doc Williamson, Rick Plate and The Bird Dog Bobby Band (Bird Dog Bobby, Gary Whitehead and Reno Mussatto) had Whispering Oaks Elementary singing the blues and banging the drums. (see photo) With the help of Nedra Goettling’s narration (see photo), over 200 3rd graders and their teachers learned about the roots of blues music, the different instruments used and why the blues can feel so good! As each song was performed, the artist’s history and the song’s purpose and meaning were explained. Also, the geography of different styles of blues from Delta to West Coast, Chicago to Texas and how the blues has influenced today’s popular music were discussed. Beth Brissette, one of the Teachers at Whispering Oaks and a big-time blues fan said that it was the best time her class ever had while learning. She was in attendance at the recent I.B.C. competition and presented all the OBBS B.I.T.S. volunteers with tie- dyed T-shirts and bags of hand- made cards of appreciation from her students. For those of you who haven’t yet participated in an OBBS event, you are really missing out. The feeling I got when I invited some of the students up to play the drums was totally indescribable! (see photo) I’ve performed for some great audiences over the course of my career but never one as enthusiastic as these students. I’ve been told that we will soon have Blues In The Schools request forms on the OBBS website**. In the mean time, if you know of a school that could use a little “blues education” please get their email or phone number and contact me at 407-234-7185 or Poppareno@earthlink.net. ***As of the publication of this article, we do not have the applications on the website. They should be here shortly, go ahead and contact Reno. Posted: December 7, 2009 |

ZSHOWZ humbly announces An Act of Love for Haiti – A Valentine’s Day to Remember, to be held Sunday, February 14 at Shriner’s Auditorium located at 2300 Pembrook Drive in Orlando, with eight bands performing throughout the day. Doors open at noon, first act begins at 1 p.m. A complete schedule and line-up will be announced within the week. Performing acts, individuals working the event, and the Shriner’s Auditorium are volunteering their time and talents to make this a success benefit. All proceeds to be presented to a charity to be determined that is actively involved in Haitian relief and represented at the event. This Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for Central Florida to come together and show real love to our Haitian neighbors. A nominal $20 donation will be asked at the door in exchange for an afternoon full of top- notch entertainment. Shriner’s Auditorium offers a full bar, lots of great seating and an excellent venue to spend a Sunday afternoon to remember the victims of the Haitian earthquake. Incredibly delicious BBQ will be available from Backwoods Boy’s BBQ. Many volunteers are needed for this huge undertaking, including folks to immediately begin distributing posters around town as well as people on site the day of the event. A silent auction is also being considered in order to raise additional funds. If you are experienced with silent auctions and would like to assume this project or if you would like to volunteer in any fashion, please send an email to volunteer@AnActofLoveforHaiti.com. Thank you for your support. Supporting Alive Entertainment ZShowz Must Go On! ____________________________ Myspace.com/ZShowzMustGoOn P.O. Box 560041 . Orlando, FL 32856 . 407.340.2318 |
