OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
Halloween Greetings from Copus! Here's what's happening with us:1. New video introducing the Copus Catalog
2. Update on Internet radio shows
3. TV show progress
4. 'Listen + Be Heard' @ Rafael's in Vallejo
5. New compilation CD
6. Poetry submissions
7. Make your knowledge sell.
1. NEW VIDEO INTRODUCING THE COPUS CATALOG. Royal has been working very hard on a prototype slide show of Copus that combines visual shots from live shows with spoken word narration and poetry. This prototype will be used not only for folks around the world to check out the band Copus, but also to check out the myriad of talent available in the Bay Area whom we've been adding to our ever-expanding Copus Catalog (soon to appear on the www.copus.net website as well!). Here's a sneak preview - check it out at:

2. UPDATE ON INTERNET RADIO SHOW. The radio show we produce for www.artistfirst.com has become a monthly series. The airing date has been established as the second Friday night of every month, 8pm PST (11pm for our East Coast friends). This is a great development as now listeners can be assured that "Poets + Composers" will definitely air at a regular time. The next show, scheduled for November 14th, will feature the wondrous poetry and stories of Timothy Trygg (just returned from a whirlwind European tour) and Vernon Small (just returned from an inner whirlwind tour to the Zen Buddhist Center at Green Gulch). Check them both out November 14th!
3. TV SHOW PROGRESS. A lot of our concentration recently has been centered around preproduction of the TV Show, "Poets + Composers". It will be a weekly, 30-minute studio production featuring live guest interviews and performances by independent artists with a positive message. All artistic mediums will be represented, including poetry, music, dance, photography, theatre, technology, and visual arts. Your hosts will be none other than Royal and Wendy of Copus and Tony Mims and Martha Cinader of "Listen + Be Heard" from Vallejo. Right now we are gathering the crew, the talent, and the funds necessary. If you can be of assistance in any of those areas (particularly the latter), we would be much obliged!
4. LISTEN + BE HEARD @ RAFAEL'S IN VALLEJO. Speaking of Tony and Martha, congratulations are in order to both of them in the birth of their baby boy in September. They are continuing their phenomenal "Listen + Be Heard" poetry event on Thursday nights in Vallejo and Copus has been asked to return as the feature act on December 18th, as a prelude to all of your holiday festivities!
5. NEW COMPILATION CD. Thanks to the referral by Barbara Jaspersen, one of Wendy's compositions has been included on the recently-released CD entitled "Songs for World Peace" ('in the dark' - featuring the awesome vocals of Liz McDonough). Compiled and produced by the very talented Eddie Foronda, the compilation includes a myriad of musical and spoken word expressions about the ever-pressing issues of war and peace. To hear streamed snippets or to purchase the CD, please visit: http://wwwpeacesongscd.com. Also, the selection from the CD entitled 'Babylon Captivity' by Sandfly will be played on the November 14th radio show - so tune in and check it out!
6. POETRY SUBMISSIONS. We want to again thank those of you who submitted your poetry to us. We received some great poetic musings which we will feature on the copus.net website soon. Be sure and check in periodically for the updated site at: www.copus.net as we expand on the idea with our very own Copus Poetry Contest!
7. MAKE YOUR KNOWLEDGE SELL! Here is a link to our website which centers on making money from your hobby, experience, interests, work, ideas and such. You can make it happen at: http://myks.sitesell.com.Thanks for reading, listening, thinking, and keeping it real!
