RESENDING [Coweta Arts Tidbits] Rhoderick Cook's "Black Gold" Is Published

To My News Contacts:   A lot of you did not receive this because of the 12 MB photo attached the first time I sent it, so I am resending it without the photo.  My apologies for anyone who gets it twice.  It is a crying shame that so many of your systems did not allow that photo thru because it is one of the most beautiful book covers I have ever seen!  If anyone who did not receive it would like to see it, send me an email requesting it to be sent to an email address has a big enough capacity to receive it and I will be glad to do so.   Sincerely,   Forrest     COWETA  ARTS  TIDBITS  The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258   January 8, 2009   Rhoderick Cook's Black Gold Is Published        The burgeoning of the Coweta literary arts scene continued last year making it the third year in a row that new books were published by Coweta authors at the rate of one per month. As far as we know, the twelfth and last of these books for 2008 was Black Gold: Treasures From The Heart written by Rhoderick Cook of Newnan. (There were a total of 14 books published by Cowetans in 2006, and 13 published in 2007.)        The term "Black Gold" refers to petroleum, which is apparent from the book cover in which the top of an oil well forms the letter "A" in the word "Black".  According to the conventional geological theory, the forces which produce the petroleum are heat and pressure.   There is an interesting parallel here with the New Testament teaching that God uses fiery trials and pressures to formulate Christian character.  So there is an analogy between the formation of the spiritual gold and the formation of the black gold.  The book is about how God used various trials in the author's life to produce the treasures in his heart.  The hands at the bottom of the picture on the cover symbolize the Hands of God.  You need to look closely to see them just as oftentimes one needs to have a sharp spiritual perception to discern the work of God in one's life.  (This is one of the finest book covers I have ever seen and one of the best in illustrating what the book is about.)  The author is thankful to God for His work and hopes that what God has done for him will serve as encouragement for other christians to persevere in the trials God brings upon them in their lives.        Rhoderick Cook will soon begin book signings and other public appearances relating to his book.  He can be contacted at "Rhoderick Cook" debcook77@gmail.com or by cell phone at 770-683-7717.  His book will soon be listed  at Amazon.com and on his publishers website www.jawbonepublishing.com.

[Coweta Arts Tidbits] Jerry Yates Wins "2008 Gospel Artist of Year" Award

Coweta   Arts   Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 December 23, 2008 The 2008 Coweta Arts Scene Ends (as it began) With a Bang: Jerry Yates Wins National Music Award !! Named "2008 Gospel Artist of Year" by Roots Music Ass'n.        The 2008 Coweta arts scene began with two overwhelming triumphs -- Newnan visual artists Martin Pate and Marc Stewart each won "Best In Show" in NATIONAL art contests; and it ended with another -- Newnan Vocal & Instrumental Artist Jerry Yates won a NATIONAL music award from the Roots Music Association presented to him at the World Music Convention in Texas last week. This itself is obviously a tremendous honor for Yates and for Coweta.  But what makes it even more significant is that Yates is NOT a professional musician, nor has he ever had any formal music education or training.  He is a pastor; and he only does his music in his spare time and as a ministry in additional to his pastoral one.             Here is the press release issued by the Roots Music Association:   Yates Takes Home Big Award   November 19, 2008, Newnan, GA....Newnan, Georgia's Jerry Yates came out a big winner at the 2008 Roots Music Association's Award Ceremony, held on November 15th, in San Marcos, Texas. The ceremony, was part of the World United Music Festival and Radio Conference, presented by the Roots Music Association and the United States Entertainment Forces. The festival and conference were the premier radio and music industry networking events for professionals involved in the music industry, around the globe.  The event's focus was on the national and international radio, music industry, and related press, within the worldwide music market, providing a platform, primarily for independent musicians and artists, but including established performers, to gain exposure and be heard. Although bad weather forced the cancellation of the music festival Saturday night and Sunday, the event was not a total wash out. Rev. Jerry Yates, a solo Gospel artist, who sings, writes songs, and plays acoustic guitar, with a country blues, rockabilly style, performed Friday afternoon, showcasing his talents before a small, but enthusiastic crowd.  However, the big event for Yates came during the award ceremony, which was held in the Embassy Suites Hotel, in San Marcos, when he walked away with the 2008 Roots Music Association's "Gospel Artist of the Year Award"!  Other nominees in the "Gospel Category" included Ricky Scaggs and the Blind Boys of Alabama. "It was absolutely impossible for me to win" Yates said, after the ceremony.  "But God is known for doing the impossible, and I know it was only by His grace that I won!  I need to hurry and get back home, to see if I'm dreaming" he said. To learn more about the music ministry of Jerry Yates, listen to some of his music, and find booking information, visit www.jerryyatesministries.com or www.indieheaven.com/artists/jerryyates.  Jerry's radio promotion is managed by RhonBob Promotions, www.rhonbob.com.      Logo of World United Music Festival and Radio Conference                 Jerry Yates Playing His Guitar

Schultz 770-583-3258 December 18, 2008  Legacy Theatre Presents Smoke On The Mountain, Opening Jan. 31 Famous '30s Play Is a Prequel to A Sanders Family Christmas      If you liked the recent performance of A Sanders Family Christmas at the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts of Coweta County, you will probably also like its prequel, Smoke on The Mountain, which will be performed soon at the Legacy Theatre in Tyrone.  There seems to be an increasing interest in the rural life of that time period ever since the popular movie and CD O Brother, Where Art Thou?.  For this reason, although we are now focussing our attention upon Christmas, it would probably be advisable to begin thinking now about this play before the tickets are all sold.  The following information is provided by the Theatre's publicity director, Dustin Lewis: SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN Book by Constance Ray, Conceived by Alan Bailey, Musical arrangements by Mike Craver & Mark Hardwick. January 30th - Feb 22nd, 2009 Performances:  Fridays-Saturdays 8pm; Saturdays-Sundays 3pm Tickets: Adults $25; Seniors 60+/Students $22; Children 12 and under $15; Group rates available      The year is 1938. It's Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, NC, and the Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family Singers to provide an upliftin' evening of singin' and witnessin'. The audience is invited to pull up a pew and join in the rollicking good time. More than two dozen songs, many of them vintage pop hymns, and hilarious stories from the more or less devout Sanders provide a richly entertaining evening that has audiences clapping, singing, laughing and cheering.

Subject: VOICES "Christmas Mist" Concert - December 6 - $10.00 Special
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:21:38 -0500

Hello everybody!

 

It is hard to believe that the concert day is less than a week away!  As you all know, we will be presenting "Christmas Mist" concert on December 6 at The Wadsworth Auditorium in Newnan once again.

 

Those who attended the Fall Benefit Concert know what a wonderful venue this is. The Wadsworth Auditorium is located a block away from the Historic Court Square in the heart of Newnan, already beautifully decorated for the Holiday Season. There are many stores and restaurants to visit before the concert. As The Wadsworth is barely a block away, cars can be parked around the square, taking a small stroll to attend the concert.

 

The show will start at 7:30 pm and will be followed by our traditional "Meet & Greet." This is most certainly an occasion for the whole family to share. As a special Christmas event for the kids that attend the concert, we will be offering a photo opp with the "Christmas Fairy" which will take place before the performance (6:30 pm - 7:20 pm.)

 

As a Christmas gift for all our friends and members, we will be running a special through the end of Tuesday.  WE ARE PRICING ALL TICKETS AT $10.00 IF PURCHASED THROUGH BROWN PAPER TICKETS AT OUR WEBSITE:  http://voicesonline.org/tickets.aspx.  Please note that concert and photo opp tickets ($5.00)  need to be purchased separately. Please enter "special" as your discount code when at Brown Paper Tickets.  Since the concert is less than a week away, request for tickets to be left at Will Call. 

 

The solo female ensemble Zaphyra – comprised by Maria Pia Ugarte, Jill Safko, Paige McCauley and Megan Zerbe -- will be offering solo and ensemble favorites like "Gesu Bambino," Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu," "My Favorite Things," "Where Are You Christmas" and "Little Drummer Boy" among others. Young violinist Matthew Roberts returns to offer a rendition of Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise." Local male vocalist, J. Brock, joins Voices for the first time with soundtrack favorites "The Christmas Shoes" and "Believe" from "The Polar Express" as well as other numbers. Young harpist Kelly Abrams will also be performing as well as ballet dancer Stephanie Goehring and the Voices Youth Ensemble.

 

Carlos and Julissa Rodriguez from Carlos Salon in Peachtree City continue their association with Voices developing the hair design for "Christmas Mist."  Piano Crafters continues their support providing the beautiful grand piano for the night.  Argentinean Style Delights and Ten East Washington, both Newnan businesses, will provide some special treats for the "Meet & Greet" reception.

 

We look forward to seeing your there!

 

Maria Pia Ugarte

Artistic Director
