Archival promo of when we began at the Jazz Spot:
LADY GOT CHOPS Festival Promo 1-7 (2003-9)
Despite the ravages of the technological challenges, the LADY GOT CHOPS FESTIVAL is evolving into new platforms of
online communication which represent the desires of like minded individuals who:
- 1 celebrate women's excellence of contribution to humanity during March Women's History Month by either performing, promoting or attending events or showings
- 2 can provide a host space which will house the artist for the date or dates of performance or showing
- 3 find benefit in freely provided promotion which will bring attention to their art or venue as well as a feeling of fellowship through participation.
- 4 network with the public as well as other musicians arts and venues
- 5 value the education provided by the elders and experienced in the arts
- 6 have a progressive outlook while maintaining a realistic view of the climate of the arts and life.
