UFO Conference Focuses
On Alleged Government Cover-up
(EUREKA SPRINGS, AR) – The 21st Annual Ozark UFO Conference will be held at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center in Eureka Springs, Arkansas April 10-12, 2009. The conference will include eight lectures and audio-visual presentations on Friday and Saturday. Sunday morning "mini-sessions" will include speakers and videotape session.
There will be considerable attention paid to the alleged government cover-up of UFO’s. Grant Cameron, whose website is entitled “A Tale of Extraterrestrial Politics in the White House,” will address the conference on presidential knowledge of UFO’s. Richard Dolan, author of UFO’s and the National Security State, will discuss exposing the allegedly decades-old government cover-up of the subject.
Wendelle C. Stevens is a retired U.S. Air Force pilot-turned-UFO investigator and researcher. His military career included anomalous UFO sightings reports and film footage made by Air Force crews. Stevens will speak on what has become his lifelong interest in uncovering the truth regarding UFO activity.
Presenter Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, of Sioux Falls, SD, has a doctorate in patristics (the study of early Christian writers) from the University of Oxford. His first book Giza DeathStar, was published in 2002. Later works include The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts, in 2007, and Secrets of the Unified Field: The Philadelphia Experiment, the Nazi Bell, and the Discarded Theory, in 2008.
Dr. Paul LaViolette, Ph.D., will focus on reverse engineering of UFO technologies. Author of The Talk of the Galaxy, Earth Under Fire, Genesis of the Cosmos (Beyond the Big Bang), Subquantum Kinetics, and editor of A Systems View of Man, LaViolette received his B.A. in physics from Johns Hopkins, his M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, and Ph.D. from Portland State University. He is currently president of the Starburst Foundation, an interdisciplinary scientific research institute, and is a resident of Athens, Greece.
Presenter Ted Phillips will have a much shorter trip to the conference. The Reeds Spring, MO resident’s presentation, The Marley Woods: Ten Years of Research, will detail decades of strange encounters and sightings near Altus Spring Hollow, MO.
Several presenters return from last year’s conference lineup, including Timothy Good, Linda Moulton Howe and Allison Joiner.
Good has interviewed key UFO witnesses including astronauts, military and intelligence specialists, pilots, politicians and scientists. The British researcher has amassed a wealth of evidence of the existence of UFO’s, including several thousand declassified intelligence documents. He has published six books on the subject.
Emmy Award-winning TV producer, investigative reporter and author Howe will deliver a presentation entitled Bentwaters 1980: Telepathic Lights? Her website received the 2006 W3 Silver Award for excellence in news, the 2003 Web Award for Standard of Excellence and the 2000 Encyclopedia Britannica Award honoring internet excellence.
Reporter Angela Joiner returns to update the conference on her investigation of strange lights and sightings early last year in Stephenville, Texas.
Registration ($50 per person at the door or $45 in advance) starts at 8a.m. on Friday, April 10. The conference begins at 1 p.m. that day and concludes at noon on Sunday, April 12.

Eureka Springs Named Tree City USA® by the Arbor Day Foundation
Eureka Springs Named Tree City USA® by the Arbor Day Foundation
Eureka Springs, AR has been named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to community forestry.
It is the twenty-seventh year Eureka Springs has received this national recognition.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Eureka Springs has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community: having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
Communities that receive Tree City USA recognition not only have taken the time to meet these four standards, they recognize that:
· Trees promote healthier communities. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particles.
· Trees moderate climate, conserve water and provide habitat for wildlife.
· Trees in urban areas reduce the heat island effect caused by pavement and buildings.
· Properly placed trees can increase property values, and buildings in wooded areas rent more quickly and tenants stay longer.
“A community, its elected officials and its citizens that provide needed care for its trees deserves recognition and thanks,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our cities and towns, and they also provide environmental and economical benefits. Cities that are recognized with a Tree City USA designation go to great lengths to plant and care for the community forest.”
More information about Tree City USA can be found at www.arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.
About the Arbor Day Foundation
The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental, an education organization of nearly one million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information on the Foundation and its programs can be found at www.arborday.org.

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge "Cat of the Week" Eureka Springs, Arkansas
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Cat Of The Week
Raphael, a mountain lion, arrived at the refuge July 15, 1994. His previous owners bought him at an auction for $500! They said they wanted to save him from those "YaHoos" at the auction. They carried him home and proceeded to raise him. He was neutered and his claws removed. He was very well taken care of and loved, but the couple was right in knowing a cougar would not make a good house pet.
When Raphael arrived he was just a small, active cub. He was fun to interact with and was very playful as a cub. Guest at the refuge enjoyed "chirping" back and forth with him until he was moved to a habitat. Raphael has lived with four other mountain lions in the huge habitat built for them by interns and supporters. He spends most of his days lying around with his best friend, Kudy. Where one is, you will find the other. Raphael hides his wildness and seems much like a house cat. However, he is a wild animal and demands respect. While visiting the refuge watch for him and Kudy lying on the bench soaking up the sun.
You can sponsor a bench today if you like. $300 builds the bench and gets a plaque with your name on it. While visiting the refuge notice all the benches in the habitats. We still need more.

Arkansas Hotelier of the Year goes to Eureka Springs Man.
Moyer Named Arkansas Hotelier of the Year
During the recent Arkansas Hospitality Association’s “Stars of the Industry 2009” banquet, Jack V. Moyer (pictured left) was named Hotelier of the Year when he was presented the AHA’s coveted Golden Key Award. Moyer is vice-president of operations and development for Eureka Springs’ two historic hotels, The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa and The 1905 Basin Park Hotel; and proprietor for Harrison’s historic hotel, The 1929 Hotel Seville. Fellow Eurekan and president of the Arkansas Lodging Association, Jed Bullock (pictured right), made the presentation at ceremonies held at North Little Rock’s Wyndham Riverfront Hotel.
“I was quite surprised and honored by this award,” said Moyer. “You do what you do because you love it and the people with whom you work. Wonderful awards like this provide recognition to our whole team, a team that tries very hard every day.”
Other Eurekans were honored in two other categories that evening. Recognized as Hospitality Employee of the Year finalists were Kathy Marquez, front desk clerk and Employee of the Year for The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa; Michael Teague of the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks; and Sara Baruth of the Best Western Eureka Inn who took home the state award. Hospitality Manager of the Year finalists were RoAnna McDaniel, food and beverage manager and director of sales for The 1929 Hotel Seville; and Randy Wolfinbarger, general manager of Best Western Inn of the Ozarks.
Prior to the actual presentation of the Golden Key Award to Moyer, some of his hospitality industry involvement was noted such as hospitality degrees from both Paul Smith’s College and Penn State University; chairmanship of the advisory committee to the University of Arkansas’ School of Hospitality and Restaurant Management; also chairmanships of the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, Eureka Springs Tourism Co-op, Eureka Springs Community Development Partnership; and membership on the Historic Hotels of America Board of Advisors and the Mayor’s Tourism Task Force of Eureka Springs.
It was also explained how Moyer has been responsible for the multi-million dollar refurbishing and redevelopment of all three of his historic hotels. He also administered the construction of the Cottages at Crescent Park and was a consultant on the restoration of the Lake Lure Inn in Lake Lure, North Carolina.
Moyer, a native of Elmira, New York, is the son of Paul and Kay Moyer of Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. He has one daughter, Jordan, age12.
“It has been my policy, one embraced by all three of my hotels, to boil it all down to a simple creed that proves successful,” Moyer added. “By creating lifetime memories, building the individual, and protecting the irreplaceable we have cohesive teams at my properties who are helping me help them accomplish our corporate goals. I think this award accredits this creed.”

VIPs Eureka Springs, Arkansas Style!
VIPs Light-Blue About Performing In
Chamber’s “Aqua Comedy Show”
Ott, Caldwell, Rundel, Scarpino
Virtual Insanity Players (VIPs), Eureka Springs’ premiere improvisational comedy troupe, have, after weeks of intense negotiations, signed a binding contract to appear at the Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce’s “The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs Aqua Comedy Show.” The curtain goes up on the benefit show on Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. on the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down stage.
“I could not be happier about this contract being signed,” stated Ken Rundel, the director of the VIPs. “Who woulda thought that someone in our troupe could write!?!”
Other members of the troupe are Annunziata Scarpino, Carmen Caldwell, and Bill Ott. “To date we have already entertained crowds in a two-county area. Count ‘em. Two,” explained Ott. “And everyone who attended our performances had a wonderful time.”
The “Aqua Show” will also feature stand-up comedy and music from local talent.
“It seems everyone is still suffering from cabin fever despite recent glimpses of spring. So we thought we would plan an event for locals to help lighten the mood going into the tourism season,” said Chamber Vice-President Lisa Liggett. “The proceeds of the night’s event will be used to supplement the Economic Development budget of the Chamber. All entertainers are donating their time.”
“We’re donating our time?” squeeked Rundel upon hearing the pro bono news flash. “I guess that’s what we get for signing a binding contract without reading it. That’s okay. We’ll still bring our ‘A’ game. And remember kids, ‘Reading Is Fundemental.’”
The Ozark Mountain Hoe Down also has donated the space for the performance.
When asked about the “Aqua” tag in the title of the event, Liggett revealed that the evening would carry a PG-13 rating and may not be entirely suitable for families with small children. “No vulgar language, or other inappropriate behavior. I guarantee it won’t be blue. But aqua? We’ll just have to see.”
Gloria Stevens, Chamber Visitor Information Center Manager, stated, “You tend to kid the ones you love. So we’ll be lampooning locals, tourists and others who regularly touch our lives in an effort to paste some grins on our hard working audience, those front-line employees who are the life-blood of our local tourism industry. Plus, everyone needs a little laughter before going into a tourism season full throttle.”
Stevens went on to say, “All we hear from the media these days is gloom and doom. We’ll show them otherwise by having a great turnout that Tuesday evening”
Tickets for the evening are $10 per person and are available at the Chamber of Commerce.

When: Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 7:00 p.m.

Blues Weekend Reminder!
Sponsored by the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, the 2009 Eureka Springs Blues Weekend will feature Guitar Shorty, Hubert Sumlin & the Buddy Flett Band and Joe Louis Walker headlining evening shows in THE Auditorium May 28, 29 & 30 respectively. For acoustic guitar lovers, we have Delta Blues legend David "Honeyboy" Edwards headlining a special "Acoustic Afternoon at THE Auditorium" on Saturday, May 30th. Shows will also be held throughout the weekend in the 1905 Basin Park Hotel's Barefoot Ballroom and Ozark Room, Basin Spring Park, and at various venues around Eureka Springs.
This year's Blues Weekend will be a fundraiser for The Blues Foundation's Handy Artist Relief Trust and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. The HART fund provides assistance to musicians in need, including acute, chronic & preventive medical & dental care, as well as funeral expenses. For more information, please visit www.Blues.org. Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is located seven miles south of Eureka Springs on Highway 23. It provides lifetime refuge to abandoned, abused, and neglected "Big Cats", with emphasis on tigers, lions, leopards, and cougars. Natural habitats have been built over the past decade to allow the "Lions, Tigers & Bears" to live in more natural surroundings. For more information, please visit www.TurpentineCreek.org.
ESBW Producer Charles "Rags" Ragsdell and his wife Lori have been supporters of both organizations for over a decade. As volunteers, they help produce the Eureka Springs Blues Weekend and several other music events. Rags is also a Charter Member of The Blues Foundation, and a member of Turpentine Creek's Board of Directors.
Other headliners appearing in The Auditorium and the 1905 Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom include EG Kight, Moreland & Arbuckle, Mary Flower, RJ Mischo, Lee McBee & the Confessors, Deanna Bogart and John Nemeth. Also, International Blues Challenge winner JP Soars & the Red Hots and Ozarks Blues Society Blues Challenge winners Oreo Blue and Kory Montgomery & Isayah Warford will be opening acts.
Thursday evening at THE Auditorium will feature Guitar Shorty. Six-time Blues Music Award nominee Guitar Shorty started his professional career at the tender age of 16, playing for Ray Charles. He recorded his first single under the direction of Willie Dixon the next year, and went on to play with greats such as T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, Little Richard and Sam Cooke. Since then, Guitar Shorty has headlined festivals around the world, and won the Contemporary Album Blues Music Award in 2007 for "We the People".
Opening for Guitar Shorty will be International Blues Challenge winner JP Soars & the Red Hots. JP and his band bested over 100 bands in the 2009 International Blues Challenge, held by The Blues Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee. JP also won a custom Gibson guitar and a Category 5 amp for the Albert King Award for Most Promising Blues Guitarist. JP was raised in Cedarville, near Fayetteville, and looks forward to returning "home" for his first Arkansas performance.
On Friday, Grammy nominee, nine-time Blues Music Award nominee, four-time BMA winner and Blues Hall of Famer Hubert Sumlin will headline THE Auditorium. Raised in Hughes, Arkansas and after a stint in James Cotton's band, at the age of 18 Hubert became Howlin' Wolf's guitarist. Sumlin's licks are heard on hits like "Smokestack Lightnin'" and "Wang Dang Doodle", and he has been cited by almost every major blues guitarist as one of their prime inspirations.
Sumlin has been a featured artist in Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festivals and appeared in the films "10 Days Out", "Lightning in a Bottle" and "Cadillac Records". Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stone's Keith Richard appeared on Sumlin's "About Them Shoes", another testament to his influence on today's guitar greats. Hubert will be backed by The Buddy Flett Band, who also appeared in "10 Days Out", Kenny Wayne Shepherd's road-trip documentary.
Opening for Sumlin will be Kory Montgomery & Isayah Warford, who represented the Ozarks Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge's Solo/Duo competition. Also appearing will be Oreo Blue, who represented the Ozarks Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge's Band competition.
Also on Friday, BMA nominee John Nemeth and BMA winner Deanna Bogart will perform in the 1905 Basin Park Hotel's Barefoot Ballroom. Nemeth has wowed crowds around the world with great vocals and harp playing, and simply blew away the crowd on the King Biscuit stage with Anson Funderburg & the Rockets after the passing of harp legend Sam Meyers. Deanna Bogart is one of the most musically gifted ladies on the planet. A "quadruple threat", Deanna sings, plays piano and saxophone, and writes great songs.
Saturday afternoon at THE Auditorium features Grammy and Blues Music Award winner and two-time Blues Hall of Famer David "Honeyboy" Edwards. Honeyboy is the last of the original Mississippi Delta Blues guitarists. Unlike guitarists like Eric Clapton who say Robert Johnson influenced their music, Honeyboy actually played with Johnson! Honeyboy's life has been intertwined with almost every major blues legend, including both Robert and Tommy Johnson, Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Rice "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller, Howlin' Wolf, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sunnyland Slim, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Walter, Little Walter, Magic Sam, and Muddy Waters! In 1942, Alan Lomax recorded Honeyboy in Clarksdale, Mississippi for the Library of Congress. Since then, Honeyboy has recorded 14 albums and has appeared on 38 compilations, and has performed at hundreds of festivals around the world. Honeyboy also appeared as himself in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
Opening for Honeyboy are EG Kight and Mary Flower. Both ladies are multiple Blues Music Award nominees, and are known around the world for their guitar playing, singing, and songwriting. They will also perform sets in the Basin Park Hotel Ozark Room on Friday and Saturday evenings respectively.
Saturday will feature Multiple Grammy and Blues Music Award winner Joe Louis Walker. Joe Louis has been nominated for an astounding 39 Blues Music Awards, winning three times. Joe Louis is a true powerhouse guitar virtuoso, unique singer & prolific songwriter who has toured the world throughout his career and earned himself a legion of dedicated fans around the globe. He has recorded with the likes of BB King, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Huey Lewis, Branford Marsalis, Steve Cropper, Shemekia Copeland & Ike Turner, with a discography that counts 19 solo albums, 2 live DVD's, and countless compilations and guest appearances.
Opening for Joe Louis Walker will be RJ Mischo backed by Lee McBee & the Confessors. RJ Mischo has performed around the world, thrilling audiences with his mastery of the harmonica. Lee McBee is best known for his harp and vocal work with Mike Morgan and The Crawl, but shines on his own with one of the tightest bands in the Midwest, The Confessors. These two gifted front men will take turns entertaining the audience, then will come together at the end for some “head cutting” in what can best be described as a “harp meltdown”!
Also appearing on Saturday in the Barefoot Ballroom will be Moreland & Arbuckle and BMA nominee Candye Kane. Fairly new to the festival scene, Moreland & Arbuckle's latest CD "1861" was designated a "Pick to Click" on Bluesville. They have gained a large following with their Mississippi-style "Roots Blues" that are influenced by everyone from Little Walter to Led Zeppelin. Candye Kane has toured the world as part of RUF Records' Blues Caravan, and is known for her outrageous costumes and high-energy shows.
Candye was scheduled to appear at last year's Blues Weekend, but was unable to perform due to illness. Like many musicians, Candye didn't have insurance to cover her medical bills, and the HART Fund helped pay them. We promised Candye she would get a "rain check" for this year's Blues Weekend, and we are thrilled she is able to come and help raise money for the HART fund!
Also, internationally acclaimed blues photographer David Horowitz will exhibit his photography, and will conduct a performance photography workshop on Saturday morning. Horowitz’s award winning photographs include over four decades of blues greats, everyone from Katie Webster to Albert Collins to Stevie Ray Vaughn to today’s rising stars. If you have attended any major blues festival, more than likely you have seen David shooting from the side of the stage.
In addition to the headliner shows and photo exhibition, there will be music in Basin Spring Park and at area clubs and restaurants.

ICE STORM TO AFFECT BEAVER LAKE PARK OPENINGS
January’s ice storm resulted in extensive timber damage to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks at Beaver Lake. This, in addition to the damage from flooding in 2008, will affect park openings this spring. Although, Corps officials are confident they will have at least portions of each park ready for visitors on the scheduled opening days.
Repairs of damage caused by 2008 flooding were underway when the ice storm struck, causing further damage. The staff at Beaver is making every effort to get the parks open for the 2009 recreation season which begins April 1 at Dam Site, Hickory Creek, Horseshoe Bend, Lost Bridge North and Prairie Creek. The remaining parks are scheduled to open May 1.
The Corps is making every effort to make areas safe enough to open as soon as possible, in part by using existing and new contractors. As cleanup and repairs are made, Beaver Lake visitors are urged to be patient and use caution while driving or walking in the parks.
Camping reservations have been temporarily suspended while work is completed. Once the Corps staff determines campsites are safe for occupancy, reservations will be resumed. All seven marinas on the lake are open for business, as well as all boat launching ramps in the parks.
For more information, call the duty ranger at 479-636-1210, ext. 0, between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit the Beaver Lake Internet home page at www.swl.usace.army.mil/parks/beaver .

Updated Blues Weekend Press Release, Eureka Springs, AR
Sponsored by the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, the 2009 Eureka Springs Blues Weekend will feature Guitar Shorty, Hubert Sumlin & the Buddy Flett Band and Joe Louis Walker headlining evening shows in THE Auditorium May 28, 29 & 30 respectively. For acoustic guitar lovers, we have Delta Blues legend David "Honeyboy" Edwards headlining a special "Acoustic Afternoon at THE Auditorium" on Saturday, May 30th. Shows will also be held throughout the weekend in the 1905 Basin Park Hotel's Barefoot Ballroom and Ozark Room, Basin Spring Park, and at various venues around Eureka Springs.
This year's Blues Weekend will be a fundraiser for The Blues Foundation's Handy Artist Relief Trust and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. The HART fund provides assistance to musicians in need, including acute, chronic & preventive medical & dental care, as well as funeral expenses. For more information, please visit www.Blues.org. Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is located seven miles south of Eureka Springs on Highway 23. It provides lifetime refuge to abandoned, abused, and neglected "Big Cats", with emphasis on tigers, lions, leopards, and cougars. Natural habitats have been built over the past decade to allow the "Lions, Tigers & Bears" to live in more natural surroundings. For more information, please visit www.TurpentineCreek.org.
ESBW Producer Charles "Rags" Ragsdell and his wife Lori have been supporters of both organizations for over a decade. As volunteers, they help produce the Eureka Springs Blues Weekend and several other music events. Rags is also a Charter Member of The Blues Foundation, and a member of Turpentine Creek's Board of Directors.
Other headliners appearing in The Auditorium and the 1905 Basin Park Hotel Barefoot Ballroom include EG Kight, Moreland & Arbuckle, Mary Flower, RJ Mischo, Lee McBee & the Confessors, Deanna Bogart and John Nemeth. Also, International Blues Challenge winner JP Soars & the Red Hots and Ozarks Blues Society Blues Challenge winners Oreo Blue and Kory Montgomery & Isayah Warford will be opening acts.
Thursday evening at THE Auditorium will feature Guitar Shorty. Six-time Blues Music Award nominee Guitar Shorty started his professional career at the tender age of 16, playing for Ray Charles. He recorded his first single under the direction of Willie Dixon the next year, and went on to play with greats such as T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, Little Richard and Sam Cooke. Since then, Guitar Shorty has headlined festivals around the world, and won the Contemporary Album Blues Music Award in 2007 for "We the People".
Opening for Guitar Shorty will be International Blues Challenge winner JP Soars & the Red Hots. JP and his band bested over 100 bands in the 2009 International Blues Challenge, held by The Blues Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee. JP also won a custom Gibson guitar and a Category 5 amp for the Albert King Award for Most Promising Blues Guitarist. JP was raised in Cedarville, near Fayetteville, and looks forward to returning "home" for his first Arkansas performance.
On Friday, Grammy nominee, nine-time Blues Music Award nominee, four-time BMA winner and Blues Hall of Famer Hubert Sumlin will headline THE Auditorium. Raised in Hughes, Arkansas and after a stint in James Cotton's band, at the age of 18 Hubert became Howlin' Wolf's guitarist. Sumlin's licks are heard on hits like "Smokestack Lightnin'" and "Wang Dang Doodle", and he has been cited by almost every major blues guitarist as one of their prime inspirations.
Sumlin has been a featured artist in Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festivals and appeared in the films "10 Days Out", "Lightning in a Bottle" and "Cadillac Records". Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stone's Keith Richard appeared on Sumlin's "About Them Shoes", another testament to his influence on today's guitar greats. Hubert will be backed by The Buddy Flett Band, who also appeared in "10 Days Out", Kenny Wayne Shepherd's road-trip documentary.
Opening for Sumlin will be Kory Montgomery & Isayah Warford, who represented the Ozarks Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge's Solo/Duo competition. Also appearing will be Oreo Blue, who represented the Ozarks Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge's Band competition.
Also on Friday, BMA nominee John Nemeth and BMA winner Deanna Bogart will perform in the 1905 Basin Park Hotel's Barefoot Ballroom. Nemeth has wowed crowds around the world with great vocals and harp playing, and simply blew away the crowd on the King Biscuit stage with Anson Funderburg & the Rockets after the passing of harp legend Sam Meyers. Deanna Bogart is one of the most musically gifted ladies on the planet. A "quadruple threat", Deanna sings, plays piano and saxophone, and writes great songs.
Saturday afternoon at THE Auditorium features Grammy and Blues Music Award winner and two-time Blues Hall of Famer David "Honeyboy" Edwards. Honeyboy is the last of the original Mississippi Delta Blues guitarists. Unlike guitarists like Eric Clapton who say Robert Johnson influenced their music, Honeyboy actually played with Johnson! Honeyboy's life has been intertwined with almost every major blues legend, including both Robert and Tommy Johnson, Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Rice "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller, Howlin' Wolf, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sunnyland Slim, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Walter, Little Walter, Magic Sam, and Muddy Waters! In 1942, Alan Lomax recorded Honeyboy in Clarksdale, Mississippi for the Library of Congress. Since then, Honeyboy has recorded 14 albums and has appeared on 38 compilations, and has performed at hundreds of festivals around the world. Honeyboy also appeared as himself in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
Opening for Honeyboy are EG Kight and Mary Flower. Both ladies are multiple Blues Music Award nominees, and are known around the world for their guitar playing, singing, and songwriting. They will also perform sets in the Basin Park Hotel Ozark Room on Friday and Saturday evenings respectively.
Saturday will feature Multiple Grammy and Blues Music Award winner Joe Louis Walker. Joe Louis has been nominated for an astounding 39 Blues Music Awards, winning three times. Joe Louis is a true powerhouse guitar virtuoso, unique singer & prolific songwriter who has toured the world throughout his career and earned himself a legion of dedicated fans around the globe. He has recorded with the likes of BB King, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Huey Lewis, Branford Marsalis, Steve Cropper, Shemekia Copeland & Ike Turner, with a discography that counts 19 solo albums, 2 live DVD's, and countless compilations and guest appearances.
Opening for Joe Louis Walker will be RJ Mischo backed by Lee McBee & the Confessors. RJ Mischo has performed around the world, thrilling audiences with his mastery of the harmonica. Lee McBee is best known for his harp and vocal work with Mike Morgan and The Crawl, but shines on his own with one of the tightest bands in the Midwest, The Confessors. These two gifted front men will take turns entertaining the audience, then will come together at the end for some “head cutting” in what can best be described as a “harp meltdown”!
Also appearing on Saturday in the Barefoot Ballroom will be Moreland & Arbuckle and BMA nominee Candye Kane. Fairly new to the festival scene, Moreland & Arbuckle's latest CD "1861" was designated a "Pick to Click" on Bluesville. They have gained a large following with their Mississippi-style "Roots Blues" that are influenced by everyone from Little Walter to Led Zeppelin. Candye Kane has toured the world as part of RUF Records' Blues Caravan, and is known for her outrageous costumes and high-energy shows.
Candye was scheduled to appear at last year's Blues Weekend, but was unable to perform due to illness. Like many musicians, Candye didn't have insurance to cover her medical bills, and the HART Fund helped pay them. We promised Candye she would get a "rain check" for this year's Blues Weekend, and we are thrilled she is able to come and help raise money for the HART fund!
Also, internationally acclaimed blues photographer David Horowitz will exhibit his photography, and will conduct a performance photography workshop on Saturday morning. Horowitz’s award winning photographs include over four decades of blues greats, everyone from Katie Webster to Albert Collins to Stevie Ray Vaughn to today’s rising stars. If you have attended any major blues festival, more than likely you have seen David shooting from the side of the stage.
In addition to the headliner shows and photo exhibition, there will be music in Basin Spring Park and at area clubs and restaurants.

The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs, AR Aqua Comedy Show
Chamber Announces
“The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs
Aqua Comedy Show”
The Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce announced a benefit show on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 featuring stand-up comedy, improvisation and music from local talent.
“By now, everyone is suffering from cabin fever, especially with the stress of the ice storm, so we thought we would plan an event for locals to help lighten the mood going in to the tourist season,” explained Chamber Vice-President Lisa Liggett. “The proceeds of the night’s event will be used to supplement the Economic Development budget of the Chamber.”
The comedy and music event will be held at the Ozark Mountain Hoe Down beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Ozark Mountain Hoe Down has donated the space for the performance. Likewise, performers during the evening are also donating their time and talents.
When asked about the “Aqua” tag in the title of the event, Liggett revealed that the evening would carry a PG-13 rating and may not be entirely suitable for families with small children. “No vulgar language, or other inappropriate behavior; it won’t be a “blue” comedy show, just slightly blue-hued, you know – aqua.”
“You tend to kid the ones you love, so we’ll be lampooning locals, tourists and others who regularly touch our lives in an effort to paste some grins on our hard working audience,” offered Visitor Information Center Manager Gloria Stevens.
Tickets for the evening are $10 per person and are available at the Chamber of Commerce.
“We think everyone needs a little laughter before going in to the season full throttle. All we hear from the media is gloom and doom. We hope to have a great turnout Tuesday evening,” concluded Stevens.
What: The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs Aqua Comedy Show
Who: Local comedians and performers including Virtual Insanity Players (the VIP’s) improv comedy troupe
When: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 7:00 p.m.
Where: The Ozark Mountain Hoe Down
How Much: $10 per person
Why: To lighten the mood and to replenish the Chamber budget for
Economic Development
