RW Norton presents Charles Brutus on the sub rosa meaning in spiritual songs on Sat, Nov 14, 2 pm

Among the songs to be assayed: "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen", "Every Time I Feel the Spirit", "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho", "Sweet Little Jesus Boy."

New Orleans' hot quintet the Rebirth Brass Band headlines Highland Jazz & Blues Fest on Sat, Nov 14, noon to 5 pm
"Want to support a community music festival - one that I've never been to but very excited about attending for the first time on November 14th?" writes a member of the recently-arrived creative class, Matt Bailey.
"Check out the Highland Jazz and Blues Festival - to be held from noon-5 pm in Historic Columbia Park on Nov. 14. www.highlandjazzandblues.org
Headlining act is the incredibly awesome Rebirth Brass Band - a New Orleans institution.
There will be two stages of non-stop music, a food court, and an "artist alley" featuring their original-design festival posters and t-shirts. And, you get it all for free. Yes, there is no admission charge for the 6th annual neighborhood festival.
Here's the deal: in keeping the event free and neighborhood-friendly, they rely on sponsorships (for businesses) and memberships (for families and individuals) to keep the music going. I'm not asking you to contribute, I'm just bringing it to your attention as folks who want to promote culture in Shreveport."
Well said, creative friend. Let me put some $ where my camera and dancing shoes will certainly go on the 14th.

From Canada, an inquiry about Shreveporters and the recent Shreveport Symphony Orchestra
I don't want to step into a hornet's nest, writes a fellow identified as Stephan, but I have heard about the SSO's financial plight over the last year. I lived in Shreveport for 10 years, and during that time I had the great pleasure to attend many performances put on by the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra.
I am currently living in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, with a population 1.7x that of Shreveport-Bossier, and we enjoy the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO). In 2008 the WSO maintained 67 core players and had a main subscription series of 12 concerts, a 6-concert series in Brandon, a 21-concert pops series, and Musically Speaking and Sundays with the Family series of five concerts each. The overall budget of the WSO is upwards of $6.1 million annually. By population, this would be equivalent to $3.5 million for the metropolis of Shreveport-Bossier or $3.3 million USD.
Your SSO needs a new marketing plan that will draw enough subscribers and corporate donors in order to meet the portion of the budget that would support paying 25 core musicians. A full-time salary for each musician with benefits should be $26,000 plus $5,000 benefits (20%)= $31,000 ea. x 25 = $775,000 for the total core budget. The current rate of pay per core musician in 2007-'08 was only $17,880.25.
If you divide the core budget above by the population of Shreveport-Bossier City that comes to only $2.06 per citizen... just a paltry sum! Come on Shreveport-Bossier, you can do better than to let your only professional orchestra slide into oblivion.
Support your musicians, people of Shreveport-Bossier!

New Orleans pianist-singer coming to Sam's Town on Nov 6 & 7: Al "Little Fats" Jackson
New Orleanian Al "Little Fats" Jackson is coming to the lounge at Sam's Town, says Greg Miles.
From Jackson's web site: "At their first experience of a live performance of Alvin E. Jackson, audiences are amazed that this young 23 year old has already accomplished the mastering of rhythm and blues in the New Orleans style. His technique, sincerity, and enthusiasm are all qualities which are the result of his rearing in New Orleans by a loving and extended family. Al's grandmother owned the "Vet's Club" road house where she booked such notables as Fats Domino, Lloyd Price and Tommy Ridgley.
"I grew up listening to classic New Orleans R&B, I guess it became a part of my spirit. I remember even before I was in kindergarten my favorite was Fats Domino. I listened over and over again to a stack of records given to me by my grandfather which he collected from the road house's jukebox. This is how my love for R&B began."
Sam's Town is bringing some amazing acts to town - partly because entertainment and technology director Miles has been booking bands for several decades and has a well-developed network of entertainer friends. Recently Jo-El Sonnier and the Amazing Rhythm Aces have made stops at Sam's, he said.

East Bank Theater says Zombies of the world, Unite! Performances Oct 22, 23 & 24, 8 pm
A Lagniappe fundraiser for East Bank Theatre and The Company Repertory Theatre has been announced by Richard Folmer.
Zombies of the world unite! Tis a stage adaptation of the classic George Romero/John Russo horror film.
The East Bank Theatre and The Company Repertory Theatre, located at the Bossier Arts Council, have reportedly seen "zombies" in the upstairs theatre after dark. The sightings have taken place during recent rehearsals for "Night of the Living Dead: The Play" which features local actors.
"I didn't believe in zombies. But these things we have been seeing... they just make the hair stand up on the back of your neck," says Artistic Director, Richard Folmer, "not to mention the moaning and shrieking... I haven't been this scared in years!"
Although the zombies are unable to speak, one ghastly figure did manage to scribble some information on a sheet of paper. From what the staff can make out, it seems as though there will be an entire invasion of zombies on October 22, 23, and 24 at 8:00pm.
Admission will be $20 and they plan to take all those not in costume captive. Guests are encouraged to come dressed as a zombie, ghoul, goblin, or favorite Halloween character. There will even be a "CANDY BAR" for your sweet tooth! For more information about experiencing this invasion, call 318.741.8310.
"I will definitely be wearing a costume... I am really anxious to see what these zombies have in store for us," states Kelly Warner, Executive Director of the Bossier Arts Council. "We have heard them making awful noises upstairs in the theatre and they seem to be getting anxious about their so-called invasion. This will be interesting..."

Movie review: Jack White vs Page and the Edge in It Might Get Loud at RFC this week, through Thurs
Jack White's beat-up, cheap and old guitars are almost slammed against the glowing maple and mahogany Gibsons fingered by Jimmy Page and the Edge in the documentary It Might Get Loud. The movie makes it clear that it's the player, not the guitar.
White quickly claims the upper ground. He was from a poorer family than the other guys and he has been successful while playing utterly crappy guitars. He also launched his career by performing and recording with Meg White, a woman who could barely sing or play drums.
Mississippi bluesman Son House (1902 - 88) is White's hero.
The Son House shout-out would seem to be an opening for Page, who built most of Led Zeppelin's catalog by reworking Delta bluesmen's tunes. But, nada. Maybe he's still in denial about his adaptations. Back in the day, Zeppelin had to be sued for stealing material from Howlin' Wolf.
We learn about Page's background in skiffle and pop, but the historic thread dies. Sadly, there's another spurious moment: Page implies that the 12-string/6-string double-neck he played in concerts on Stairway to Heaven was a guitar created for his needs on that 1971 tune. Argh. The EDS 1275 used by Page had been introduced by Gibson in 1962.
The stolid Edge is the mystery. How was it that he and Bono squitched their niche in pop music? He is smart enough to keep his guitar parts bone-simple. They are entertaining mainly through his canny use of electronic effects, he seems to say.
The 90-minute documentary is entertaining because we get some of the background on 3 of the most successful men in the history of guitar. Millionaires all three.
Don't expect any depth.
Do expect to be mesmerized by the savvy crap spewed by White, who is as interested in conning us as he is in screaming the blues.
Wish there had been less ruminating by Edge on the dock and by Page at a manor house and more speaking through loud guitar, bass and drums.
Through Thurs, Oct 22, at Robinson Film Center.
White quickly claims the upper ground. He was from a poorer family than the other guys and he has been successful while playing utterly crappy guitars. He also launched his career by performing and recording with Meg White, a woman who could barely sing or play drums.
Mississippi bluesman Son House (1902 - 88) is White's hero.
The Son House shout-out would seem to be an opening for Page, who built most of Led Zeppelin's catalog by reworking Delta bluesmen's tunes. But, nada. Maybe he's still in denial about his adaptations. Back in the day, Zeppelin had to be sued for stealing material from Howlin' Wolf.
We learn about Page's background in skiffle and pop, but the historic thread dies.

Gas Light Players Shocktale Terror Show Presents “Gentleman Death’s 100 Hounds of Hell,” Oct 22 - Nov. 8
Gas Light Players, a local non-profit community theater, returns with its legendary haunted attraction and fundraiser: Shocktale, a Terror Show, says Don Webb.
The show opens Thurs, Oct 22 to Nov. 8 and takes place during The State Fair of Louisiana. Admission is $5 at the door. Shocktale will run Wednesday thru Friday evening’s beginning at 6:30 p.m. and weekends opening at 11:30.
Gas Light Players Shocktale Terror Show is daringly presented as a progressive black-box play, says Webb, combining all aspects of the theater craft with classic Grand Guignol special effects and theory.
The result is a high intensity, interactive theatrical production that is artistic and visually stunning and appeals to the various aspects of fear, phobias and all things psychological.
It is not unusual for patrons to lose control of themselves, faint and outright panic during the course of this exhilarating, progressive performance presented in the style of the old Dr. Blood Show.
Not to worry, our Guides are well-trained to handle the unknown and have taken a vow to protect their tour-members from the challenges that arise from the diabolical creations that lurk within “Gentleman Death’s 100 Hounds of Hell.”
Gas Light Players is a nonprofit 501©3 organization. All proceeds gained from this show go towards funding the Gas Light Player’s theater season and help to reestablish the theater within the community after our 15 year absence. This is a great way to support your local community theater!
This year’s production is directed by veteran Gas Light Players Terror Show cast Donnie & Mimi Webb, who have been involved with the show since 1989.

- Broadmoor United Methodist Church Shreveport, Sunday, Oct. 11, at 2:30 p.m.

Balcom & Weissbach visit Minicine, 846 Texas, with experimental films on Fri, Oct 16, 8 pm,
New England filmmakers Ben Balcom and Josh Weissbach, writes David Nelson, will stop at minicine? to present new film works as part of their Heap Us ‘Round Our Ruins: An Interstate Film Circuit Tour, on Fri, Oct 16. This event will also feature a special performance by Shreveport music artist, Jasper McAdams, on the eve of the release of his new CD, "Tender Legal"... in other words... an OFFICIAL CD RELEASE PARTY...
Ben Balcom’s films teeter on the line between reality and dream, characterized by the appearance and disappearance of narrative. The form of these films change from pure experimentation to character-based allegory. These films are trying to discover the relationship between our nature and the representation of this space through a reconfiguration of experience in an artificial medium. Each is united in an interest in poetry, mythology, and perception, experienced through an interface of silence and the language of the material.
The conceptual premise of Josh Weissbach’s film work, all shot on Super 8 and 16mm film, is based on the notion that as all humans inhabit space, space simultaneously inhabits humans, and within this, the main question that is raised is how does the relationship between intimacy, trauma, and space function in the life of every human being?
This 90 minute film program has been evolving nightly on the tour, the fellows trying to promote connections that speak to each other across the collections of films from these two artists...
