I know there's more than one Deadhead out there who will be thrilled to know that the Dead are unlikely to ever be dead: UBC School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS), Colloquium Series 2007-2008, Term 2-Eleventh Colloquium, Co-sponsored with the UBC School of Music, Thursday, February 7, 2008, 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m. Gessler Hall-Music Building Room 116, School of Music, The University of British Columbia, 6361 Memorial Road, Vancouver (Link to UBC Campus Map: http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/images/pdf/ubcmap.pdf) A presentation by:
David Lemieux, Archivist, Grateful Dead Title: Archiving the Grateful Dead Audiovisual Collection Abstract: The Grateful Dead’s audiovisual collection consists of approximately 15,000 audio tapes in all formats from 1965-2005, 3,000 video tapes in all formats from 1971-2005, and 250,000 feet of 16mm film. These are almost entirely live recordings, with some studio material mixed in. Since the end of the Grateful Dead’s touring career in 1995, the band has kept its legacy alive by releasing live recordings, both on CD and DVD, drawn exclusively from this extensive archive. David Lemieux, who worked as the Grateful Dead’s archivist and producer from 1999 to 2006 in Marin County, California, and still works closely with the band members and their record company, will discuss the band’s archiving philosophy and the processes in place to preserve this important collection. About the Speaker: Since 1999, David Lemieux has been working as the Grateful Dead’s audiovisual archivist and producer. Prior to this, David worked at the BC Archives in Victoria as the audiovisual technician, and the National Archives of Canada, where he did an extensive internship in the film conservation division and worked on the development of a nitrate film storage facility. He received his MA in film archiving from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England in 1999, as well as a BFA in film studies from Concordia University in Montreal, and a BA in history from Carleton University in Ottawa. He currently lives in Victoria, BC, with his cat, Zeus. Light refreshments will be served. For information please contact the series organizer,Dr. Francesca Marini (fmarini@interchange.ubc.ca). Thanks Rick.
Finally, Rod is coming across the pond from Jolly Old England to Mission. He's looking for a banjo teacher in the area. Who knows who's out there?

What's up?
Fri Jan 11 at the Crossroads Coffeehouse in Poco, Simon Trevelyan and Friends “Nobody Knows the trouble I seen: Negro spirituals and readings from the days of slavery in America.
Crossroads' winter/spring 2008 schedule is attached. Lots of great performers in the next few weeks. Address in the attachment (look for the Dairy Queen).
Rogue Folk present Laura Love, Sat Jan 12 at St. James Hall. Two performers with Laura will be well known to many of you: Barbara Lamb, fiddler fatale; and Dave Keenan, master of so many instruments, also a Downtown Mtn Boy. Rounding out the group, I think, is Jen Todd. www.roguefolk.bc.ca
What else? The Movable Music School winter '08 series starts up later this month. A great range of classes. See the attachment. This is a great way to learn an instrument or vocals, or to try a new musical direction. Classes are held at a house over 6 weeks (the vocal classes go for 10 weeks, I guess those singers just can't shut up once they've opened up!). Thanks Rosemary.
I forgot last time, it's time to sign up for the Georgia Strait Guitar Workshop Spring Jam, March 7th - 9th, 2008 at Camp Alexandra, Crescent Beach, BC. This is a fantastic way to get exposure to a wide range of guitar styles. But don't delay, it fills up mighty fast! See the attachment. Thanks Alan.
Planning ahead for Cadillac Sky at The ACT in Maple Ridge, Thurs Feb 21? Tickets are available on line at www.theactmapleridge.org or by phone 604 476 2787. Book now for the best seats in the house, ACT's mailout went to the posties yesterday for delivery. Now here is the treat.... For a live in-studio Cadillac Sky concert, tune into CMT.COM's netcast "Unplugged at Studio 330" on January 22. The show will be available on demand from January 22 forward. A "sneak peek" is available for the week prior to netcast as of January 15. Here's the link: http://www.cmt.com/music/unplugged/perfo....rformance.jhtml One more treat..... C-Sky's music video of Born Lonesome, previously only available in the U.S. of CMT's cable tv station has now been posted to You Tube. Here's the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXrblHqXod8 Thanks Ron. I saw them at Wintergrass last year, they are a great, energetic band.
Steve Alexander says his CD is now on iTunes. And check out his "nonliner notes" (since you don't get them when you download!) at http://acousticflatpickguitar.blogspot.com/index.html And I'm looking forward to that "picking event" sometime in the spring, Steve.
Looking for that perfect life mate? Something woody you can hardly wait to hold when you get home? When you wake up? Before you go to bed? Gerald might have what you want. He has a couple of nice Martins he's selling from his collection. A mid 70s Martin D35, an early 80s Martin D28 and a 70 Martin 000-18. Oh, that's more than a couple. All guitars have been lovingly cared for, are in great shape, and are ready to play. All three at $2200 (that's each!). They all have that really open vintage Martin tone. Gerald can be reached at 604-341-7506.

A nice hotel to stay at is the La Quinta if there is still room available. They have a great schuttle service that is run by the volunteer firefighters that takes you from your hotel to the hotel that the festival is held at. It is a by donation fee for the trip and it runs every ten minutes or so. Not all the hotels have this service available. Harmonygirl
Re: Rivercity Bluegrass Festival « Result #7 on Jan 9, 2008, 11:34pm »
Jammed with a bunch of people from the Pacific Bluegrass and Heritage Soceity that I already know. Also jammed well into the night (or early morning) with a great group of guys from all around the USA. John (guitar picker) was from Portland and James (banjo player) was from Washington (if I remember correctly). Also got to know a few new people from right here in the lower mainland. Told them all about our clubs and jams here and in Langley and Aldergrove. Took a few pictures of some of the acts but not of the jamming as I was having too much fun playing to stop and take out my camera. Oh Yeah I forgot to mention that Rhonda Vincent is one amazing chick!!! Sure wish I was able to sing and play like her. Her new CD is also amazing. Just came out the day we saw her at the festival.
