Two Shows, One night – Friday, January 1st, 2010
Cover the World followed by Under the Covers
Live at the HavenWe are hosting our bi annual fundraiser January 1, 2010 billed as Cover The World with Goodness – Live at the Haven followed by the Blue Lounge show Under the Covers at the Surf. Cover The World show will be an all ages variety show format. Following the Haven show we will again host The Blue Lounge presenting Under the Covers at the Surf.
There’s one other thing known for sure: the entire show is likely to be sold out. This is the fourth fundraiser for CKGI, and every one has been sold out.
The Blue Lounge at The Surf“We’ve billed it as the Blue Lounge, Under the Covers adult variety show,” says Zakreski. It’s a bit risqué, a bit lewd, a bit lascivious. “It gives performers the chance to do things they can’t ordinarily do.” Doors open at 9 p.m, and the show runs from 10 to midnight.
It immediately follows the night’s first show, Cover the World, a family-oriented presentation where the list of performers includes Tina Jones and Dinah D, Lou Gradanti, Victor Anthony and Kathy McIntyre. There’s Miles Black and the Pearly Whites, and even a mother-son combination,: Barb Ebbeson and Spencer Symington. And of course there’s Antony Holland and his mystery act, a challenge for the organizers and technical crews who will be recording the show for release as a CD.
“We’re going to be pushing the envelope,” says Zakreski. “I asked Antony what he was planning, and he said, ‘I’m going to do something you can’t do on radio.’”
Whatever it is, it’s bound to be memorable. Antony Holland has been an actor, and a teacher of actors, for more than sixty years. A playwright and director as well, he is known around the world. “You’ve got this big well to draw from,” says Zakreski. “If Antony Holland can come up with it, it’s going to be different.”
That’s a feeling shared by Kathy Ramsey, a director of the Radio Society. “Antony will be moving the boundaries of theatre and radio with his performance,” she says. “We already have the technical people preparing for it. Everyone has to see this show.”
Tickets for both of the New Year’s Day shows are available at Artworks, and at Falconer Books in Nanaimo, $15 for either show or $25 for both. Admittance to Under the Covers is restricted to people 19 and older.
Cover the World With Goodness will be held at the Haven’s Phoenix Theatre. Doors open at 6 p.m., January 1, and the show runs from 7 to 9 .
Under the Covers will be held at the Heritage Hall at the Surf. Doors open at 9 p.m.
Proceeds from both shows go to CKGI, now in the process of finding a home on the radio dial.
“The artists on Gabriola have been very supportive with their time for our new community radio initiative,” says Zakreski. “While we are waiting for Ottawa to sort out the situation, we really appreciate this effort.”

Tell It! – Lyrics
Dec 10
Tell It! (The Gabriola Co-op Radio Song)
1.
Well, you can tell it to me now
Or you can tell it to me later
or you can wait a month of sundays
when the suspense will be greater
You can tell it on the solstice
Or a stormy Equinox
you can tell me wearing leather
Or only wearing socks
And you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
2.
You can tell it on the ferry
On a sultry afternoon
You can tell it in the evening
While we’re gazing at the moon
You can catch me in the village
Buying duct tape and wine
Or you can tell it while we’re dancin
With the herons keeping time
And you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
3.
You can use formal logic
or get all sentimental
You can tell it to me mainstream
Or try something experimental
You can write a dissertation
or create an epic tome
you can extemporize and analyze
‘til the cows come home
or you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
4.
You can fax it, phone it, e-mail it,
Text message it, too
You can stick it in an envelope
And put it in your shoe
You can package it up and send it
Overnight express
You can even send it to the wrong person
At the wrong address
Or you can tell it to me softly
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
5.
You can sing it, tap it, rhyme it, rap it
At a local poetry slam
Or you can take a chance with interpretive dance
And try it out at the jam
You can cop the gist of a ventriloquist
Or juggle it like a clown
Or you can spend your time trying to mime it
When there’s no one else around
Or you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
6.
You can paint it, print it, macramé it
carve it into wood
you can brand, batik, or lithograph it
that’s if you’re really good
you can highlight it, sky write it,
draw it in the sand
or get out your black “Sharpie”
and use the back of your hand
Or you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low
Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola Co-op Radio!
7.
You can shout it with pride
or you can act all humble
you can bark it, bitch it, gripe it, moan it,
whine or grumble.
You can scream it with passion
You can coo it with desire
Or you can teach it and preach it, brother
with your soul on fire!!
Or you can tell it to me softly,
Sweet and low,
(Everybody!) Just tell me you heard it on Gabriola
Co-op Radio!
