Film trove from documentarian Bill Daniels @ minicine? on Wed, Sept 15, 8 pm
Film Tramp Bill Daniel is back in the van and on tour with a new program of recently unearthed16mm footage, says David Nelson. Most of this footage is truly orphaned film--- abandoned, lost, found, and now presented raw without editing, and none of it has seen the light of YouTube.
Sonic Orphans is a collection of lost and found music film clips--- a weird mix of oddities… from raw news footage of the Beatles arriving in San Francisco in 1965, silent rushes from a 1977 student film starring the Avengers, a 1980 student film featuring early Austin punks Boy Problems and the Huns…
Also as part of this program, Daniel will absolutely cover the walls with his high contrast B&W documentary photos shot at punk shows, mainly Austin, TX, between 1980 and 1984. This includes Texas bands such as, The Big Boys, Butthole Surfers, DRI, Toxic Shock and touring bands, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains and the Minute Men.
Discussion during the night will explore the relationship between underground film and music cultures…
Live music to be curated by John Martin.

A small, green change for Shreveport: the A Better Shreveport Candidates Bike Ride drew over 50 riders and walkers for downtown fun
An air of unlikely holiday prevailed at the Central Fire Station on Th, Sept 2, as candidates for mayor and city council gathered amidst a bevy of bikers.
It was a forum on wheels. The promise was that candidates would intro themselves and then pedal alongside their potential constituents. Additionally, part of the group would walk the distance.
The event was organized by A Better Shreveport, a grassroots civic organization. The producers incuded Stephanie Pedro, Carolyn Manning, April Waren and Robert Trudeau.
The cycle route wound around the Municipal Auditorium, past Aseana Gardens, and up Texas Ave to 846 Texas. There, at minicine?, the group gulped water and listened to arts producer David Nelson.
Tour leader was Garrett Johnson, who spoke about SRAC's plans for the Central Fire Station. At historic Municipal Auditorium the riders heard recent research findings from historian Chris 'Southern Maid Hot Donuts' Brown.
Pedaling toward the river, the group loitered outside Robinson Film Center and palavered with Chris Jay. The walking group tarried at Artspace and heard Pam Atchison introduce the blues band which wailed in the background.
Carolyn Manning kept the gang of walkers on pace despite telling stories about downtown street sculptures.
As the bikers rolled past Noble Savage, waiter Pete Fetterman and musicians from the Dirty Red Jam waved at the colorful stream of riders.
At the terminus,the Commerce St office co-op called CoHabitat, John Grindley invited the group to park and party in the schvingy space.
The bike ride was a prelude to next Thursday's Candidates Pub Quiz Forum, to be held at CoHabitat over drinks and snacks. It begins at 6 pm. Questions for the candidates have been solicited from across the city, said Pedro.

Andrew Wood as Phillip Ashcroft and Barry James Acosta as George Cromwell.

Case, Dirtfoot, Windstorm, Stiff necked Fools: Blue Goose Fest to be held in Festival Plaza on Labor Day, Mon, Sept 6, noon to 10 pm
Askari Hinton has returned to his family land holdings to reclaim a salty piece of historic Shreveport. He's a landlord and developer in a neighborhood on the railroad tracks near Princess Park and Fertittas Delicatessen. The area was known as Blue Goose or, perhaps more commonly, as Crosstown.

The “Originals” Company will perform three of Carolyn Woosley’s plays in its ten-week tour around Louisiana in September, with highlights to be featured at the New Orleans Fringe Festival in November, says Penny J Miller. The “Louisiana Women: Originals” Company tour is produced in association with the Mahogany Ensemble Theatre, which will be touring from its home base in Shreveport.
The “Louisiana Women: Originals” Company will feature three plays exploring the lives of pioneering African-American women, and their influences on music, art, and the complicated history of race and family relations in Louisiana. The “Originals” Company celebrates the lives of primitive painter and former Melrose Plantation cook, Clementine Hunter, who will be played by Angelique Feaster; plantation owner and matriarch of the Cane River colony of Free People of Color, Marie Thérèse Coincoin, with the role shared on alternate weeks by Kendra Cherie’ Gray and Sharon Penson; and Lake Charles native jazz pianist, vocalist, and composer Nellie Lutcher, as portrayed in their shared role by Wilma Moore Young and Neverlyn Townsel. Carolyn Graves will understudy the role of Clementine Hunter.
The “Originals” Company is under the direction of Angelique Feaster, founder and artistic director of the Mahogany Ensemble Theatre, the resident theatre of the M.E.C.C.A. Foundation (Mahogany Expressions of Culture and Creative Arts). Feaster is the founding producer of the Southern Black Theatre Festival in Shreveport, which will take place this September 16 – 26, 2010 in Shreveport.

John Waters, Baltimorean filmmaker, to appear at NW Louisiana Gay & Lesbian Film Fest on Sun, Sept 12, 4 pm
John Waters ("Pink Flamingos", "Hairspray", "Serial Mom") appears at festivals, universities, and clubs across the world and has since the 1970's, says his press kit.
The next place he's expected to show is the Robinson Film Center, Shreveport, says Michelle Glaros. He will be honored by the NW La Gay & Lesbian Film Fest at a reception at 4 pm on Sun, Sept 12. At 6 pm he will introduce an airing of Polyester (1981).
As a director, actor, graphic artist with showings at galleries across the globe, creator of the wildly successful Broadway musical "Hairspray", Gay/Lesbian role-model, social commentator, author of numerous books (including his 2010 best-seller Role Models), and even his being immortalized as an animated character on "The Simpsons"-- not to mention being the man who first took a chance, believed, and catapulted Johnny Depp from pin-up idol to serious-actor status and critical acclaim-- Mr. Waters is a renaissance man of almost unprecedented cultural influence.

Personalities, technological innovations, hardships: Gary Joiner lectures on the clearing of the Great Raft on Wed, Aug 18, 5:15 pm, Broadmoor Library
Gary Joiner will discuss the clearing of the “Great Raft” on the Red River and how this series of ultimately successful attempts lead to the growth and success of Shreveport as we know it today, says Jameel Damlouji, president of the NW La Archaeological Society.
"Our next meeting of the Northwest Louisiana Archaeological Society is scheduled for Wednesday, August 18th, at the Broadmoor Branch Library, 1212 Captain Shreve Drive at 5:15 pm. This meeting is a continuation of our summer lecture series and features Shreveport’s premier historian, Dr. Gary Joiner. Dr. Joiner will discuss the clearing of the “Great Raft” on the Red River and how this series of ultimately successful attempts lead to the growth and success of Shreveport as we know it today.
According to the Caddo Indians, “Even the gods were powerless in defeating the Evil One, who had created the creeping beast that continually slithered and suffocated the river”. This story is full of unique personalities, technological innovations, great hardships, and the roll Shreveport would finally play in commerce and quality of life across a large area of the country when the raft was finally cleared. Anyone can attend to hear this fascinating story of the nearly 100 year effort to clear the largest logjam ever recorded in North America. Attendance is free to all interested parties. Please arrive early as seating will be limited."

Speaking of Mad Men: Club Dantzic opens with 60's jazz, booze and Stanton Hoffman Quartet on Fri, Aug 13, Artspace Shreveport; curator's talk at 8 pm
William Joyce, artistic director of Artspace Shreveport, looked at the photos of jazz greats that were to be exhibited at Artspace Shreveport and had an epiphany: "We'll show those images in a nightclub, which was where so many of those performances were captured."
Thus Artspace Shreveport has been turned into Club Dantzic for the display of the photos of Satchmo and Miles and Krupa.
The exhibit opens with a party Friday night - beginning at 5:30 pm. At 8 there will be a curator's talk by Grayson Dantzic, son of the photographer whose work is on view.
Speaking of the hot TV series, the vibe will be pure Mad Men. The musicians and onlookers in the photos sport white shirts, skinny ties, Ray Bans, little black dresses, pointy high heels.
There will even be a behind-the-curtains area called the Boom Boom Room. There you'll be able to catch the burlesque vibe of the era, says Megan Porter.
The room is dominated by a large, dark bar designed to evoke a big-city tavern.
Friday night the Stanton Hoffman quartet will provide ample jazz and will able to play whatever's necessary - r&b, rock, reggae - to get the crowd rolling. With the powerful John Hoffman on drums (Stanton's son), Rick Willis on bass, Stanton on keyboards and Scotty Gerardy on sax, the quartet presents some of the region's best players.
Admission is $10.
Also, look for a video called 'Jazz Is' by Robert Trudeau. Six local musicians offer solo takes on their favorite jazz vibe in a film designed to demonstrate the range and something of a definition of the music called jazz.
Bill Joyce's definition of the music is on the Club Dantzic logo: "Jazz is life. Life is Jazz."

Johnny Bellar dobro show on Sunday, August 15, 7 pm, at 516 Texas St, the NXNWLA music center and museum
Johnny Bellar Dobro Resophonic Guitar Wilkes Acoustic Folk Society Depot
Originally uploaded by Bass Player Keith Hall
Johnny Bellar is a virtuoso performer on resophonic and lap steel guitars, says johnnybellar.com.
Often called a Dobro after the first and most famous manufacturer of this instrument, the resophonic guitar has recently become a pervasive voice in modern recordings of country, rock and popular music. An acoustic instrument invented in the USA in the 1920's and usually played with a metal slide, the resophonic has a mysterious, dark and compelling voice.
Bellar is famous as a Nashville session musician and composer of gorgeous melodies; he is also the 2005 National Resonator Guitar Champion. He is occasionally seen on Nashville Now and the Grand Ole Opry and at "guitar wizard" gatherings in the USA, Australia, and England.

Hilarious, obscenity-filled outbursts of Winnebago Man were viral and resulted in the documentary of the same name; see it @ RFC August 13 - 15
"A fantastic new documentary is showing in downtown Shreveport at the Robinson Film Center this weekend (August 13-15) only," says Justin Woodman. "The film, "Winnebago Man," is a tale of a man named Jack Rebney who used to make instructional and promotional videos for the Winnebago vehicle brand. While filming these videos in the 1980s, he would flub a line, or miss a mark, sending him into a tirade of obscenties making even the drunkest, saltiest sailor within earshot blush beet-red. It is these outtakes that made Mr. Rebney a legend in the videotape underground world. The internet and the further creation of Youtube sent Rebney's hilarious outbursts into the stratosphere with millions of hits."
"'Winnebago Man," the movie, is about a man, infamous for something he did decades ago, from which he never intended to be infamous. The film is about the search for that man, Mr. Rebney."
"Winnebago Man" is for those that love documentaries, comedies, the outdoors, outdoor vehicles and diatribes more of the sixteen-letter-plus variety. Check out www.winnebagoman.com, to watch the trailer, and don't watch if foul language offends you."
Continues Woodman, "The Robinson Film Center is getting this film the same weekend as hipster cities such as Eugene, Oregon and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and here's the greatest thing, the RFC is getting this film a full seven days before it hits Dallas, and the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. That's how far we've come in such a short time. Used to be, we had to go to those cities just to see a film like this and now we're getting it first. There are only six showings of this film, this Friday through Sunday. I hope that Shreveport-Bossier will come out and support what Michael Moore calls, "One of the funniest documentaries ever made!" and The Onion gives, "Three Thumbs Up!""
Showtimes at the RFC: Friday- 5:30, Saturday-1:15, 5:15, 9:15, Sunday-3:15, 7:15.

I hope that Shreveport-Bossier will come out and support what Michael Moore calls, "One of the funniest documentaries ever made!" and The Onion gives, "Three Thumbs Up!""
Showtimes at the RFC: Friday- 5:30, Saturday-1:15, 5:15, 9:15, Sunday-3:15, 7:15.

Japanese fans listening to vinyl of the first album by Shreveport's jazzy A Train, circa 1979
A Train's first album, called "A Train," originally released in July 1979, will be reIssued in Tokyo by Think! Records, says Bruce Flett. "They're coming out with the album in CD format and a 7" vinyl Record of "Baby Please" and "Trip on Your Lip".
From Think! Records Yoco Mori: "This album contains so many musical elements such as rock, jazz, latin, etc. And it is perfectly well-balanced as 'one album'. Vinyl version of this album is so rare and highly admired by collectors nowadays."
The album will be on sale only in Japan.
Says Flett: "A Train's first LP was for sale several years ago in a specialty vinyl record store in Tokyo. Local club DJs started playing the song "Baby Please" (written by David Egan) from this LP. It has become a cult "hit" in the Underground Dance Clubs of Tokyo."
The original A Train lineup did not include singer Miki Honeycutt. The group was John Howe on lead vocals/saxes/flute/songwriting, Chris McCaa (aka Professor Porkchop) on keyboards/songwriting/vocals,
Buddy Flett on guitars and lead vocal on "Bend Over Baby," Bruce Flett on bass/vocals, Alan Tooraen on drums and the late Michael Johnson on congas and percussion.
Recorded at Southern Star Studios on Line Avenue in Shreveport, LA 1979. Produced by "A" Train. Originally released on Southern Star records July 1979, Re-released on SOOTO Records 1981.

1. Time Stops (J.Howe, C.McCaa)
2. Bend Over Baby (Buddy Flett)
3. Time Stops ( J.Howe, C.McCaa)

6. I Don't Wanna Lose You (Marvin Morrow)

Zhailon Levingston, Seth Taylor lead Shreveport Little Theater Academy production of Les Miserables; see final production Sun, Aug 1, at 2 pm
Shreveport Little Theater Academy: Michelle Khare, Jonathan Weber, Madeline Hiers, Seth Taylor
Originally uploaded by trudeau
This School Edition of Les Miz was more satisfying than a touted traveling show I'd seen because of the clarity in its storytelling.
Zhailon Levingston, a student at Capt Shreve, and Seth Taylor, a Centenary College student, were masterly in the roles of Javert and Valjean. Singing with terrific range, they brought passion and intelligence to each scene.
Director Jared Watson produced a glamorous evening of historic romance. The lighting by Watson and David White used hue, scrim, smoke and dramatic angles to grand effect.
Laura Beeman's choreography - the chorus going from menacing to humorous to sensual - also enhanced the urbane mood of the show.
Still, the students' voices provided the thrills. Marcie Ratcliff and Lindsey Fileccia were most impressive in their ability to mellifluously command the stage. Fileccia was also canny about blending her powerful vocals in duos and trios.
Ridiculously good relief from teary-eyed stress of the story of Valjean and Cossette was provided by Jonathan Weber and Madeline Hiers as the rogues, Monsieur and Madame Thenardier. Weber was the epitome of unctuous criminal intent. Hiers was a comely accomplice.
The music for this Les Miz was well modulated but anonymous. During the show, the head and expressive hands of SLTA music director Adam Philley were seen protruding from the stage slot that tops the orchestra pit. But he was not conducting the small orchestra that has typically been part of an SLTA show. He was directing a keyboard player, Daniel Ley. And Ley was triggering the musical sounds using a program called OrchExtra.
As an advocate and enthusiast for live music in every aspect of American life, you can imagine my disappointment when I realized that this orchestra was composed of a conductor and one musician.
Still, Shreveport Little Theater Academy continues to be a success in both entertainment and education. Managed by Robert Darrow, the growth of the students is aided by capable adults such as Watson, Beeman, White and numerous others, such as vocal coaches William Parsons and Melissa Wise and acting coach Rachael Magill.
The proof of SLTA's effectiveness is on display in one more performance; see the final show Sunday, August 1, at 2 pm. It is a long show - some 2.5 hours - but I can imagine that your attention will be well focused by the earnest and even thrilling student performances.
Pardon me if I again honor the handsome leads and salute the powerful performances provided by Levingston and Taylor. These fellows could be rock stars. But they've chosen to express themselves in musical theater - and the almost full house at MLP on Saturday night appreciated their direction.
