Colorado Arts news - Part 1 of 2
Send your information and copy for the next CAC
Arts News to Editor and Publisher Paul Saunders at artsnews@lpbroadband.net
THANKS!
Editor's Note:
This
may be a dangerous idea on my part. What if I made room for your editorial of
the week or a "Letter to the Editor" suitable (short enough) to be
included in the following newsletter? After all, this newsletter is called the Colorado Arts Connection and the premise is to help give voice to the
arts councils, agencies and artists and individuals - networking as it were. I
know that calendar of events is important to you, but I could add a Part 3 for
editorial and opinions, and stories and hope for the best. This is a
private enterprise and arts advocacy is OK. However I reserve the right to not
include letters that are not appropriate. No anonymous letters but your
initials with community name OK. Send an e-mail to artsnews@lpbroadband.net.

believe you all received my recent email announcement about an upcoming concert
on February 9 at Jazz at Jack's. If not, it is a special event featuring the
music of great women writers/performers as a sort of pre-emptive
valentine's strike....
One
correction: For those of you interested in purchasing tickets online to
the "Siren Songs" Valentine's Day concert please do not call
Jack's. You can order tickets directly by clicking on:

Denver.
I love to hear this man sing." In his home of Washington, D.C.,
Mack
is known as "the area's most perfect tenor." Not only a solo
performer,
Mack also currently performs with The Limelighters and The
Hard
Travelers along with using his well-trained voice in productions of

Story,"

Tritt,"
and "Let There Be A Voice" His recent CD release Little Rum
