The Tampa Bay Veterinarians Specialists informed us that We have reached our goal.

This is such great news. To have raised this type of funding in less than two weeks is a testimonial of the degree of human kindness that exist within our community.

A few area bands donated time and money to help make this happen. As well, We had two very generous donations made anonymously that covered almost half of our goal. Without these efforts and the many others who donated, Mojo would have been in deep trouble.

Now its just a matter of getting through Mojos surgery. 

We look forward to many years of the fulfillment of having such a great pet as a family member.. 

Please remove the Saving Mojo banners from your sites and or webpages.
We are no longer accepting donations..

God Bless everybody.. You are all amazing.....

Mental activity keeps your mind sharp and agile. One way to do this is to continually challenge yourself by learning a new skill like taking up a musical instrument. An active brain produces new connections between nerve cells. This helps your brain store and retrieve information more easily, no matter what your age.

For more information about the Open House, or our services, contact Jeannette Goldman, (727) 525-0446, or progoldj@verizon.net.

Local Artist Scores Big on Grammy Ballot for the Second Consecutive year!

For the second consecutive year, Tampa-based artist Scovill Avenue, fresh of their 2008 release Big House, has been placed on the Official Ballot for the 2009 Grammy Awards by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences in seven categories, including the coveted first three categories Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, respectively.

“It’s definitely an honor to Scovill Avenue and a tribute to the Bay Area,” exclaims Quincy B. Scovill, producer, writer, resident mad man, and owner of Mad Monk, Ltd, a Tampa-based independent label with several artists on its roster. “Last year we did pretty well and I told everybody that this year would be even more special!” Scovill is alluding to last year’s nomination of Mad Monk’s signature act Peasants of Posture, adding that four different songs from POP’s 2007 debut CD CounterRevolution were recognized by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Committee and placed on the Official Ballot for the 2008 Grammy Awards in four different categories. Also joining Scovill in the nominations are local artists Lorna Bracewell, Jun Bustamonte, Rick “Key Low D” Dill, Prostar Recording Studio engineer Jodi Gray, Arthur Steur, Francillia, and singer Jennifer B. Real.

“These folks helped make this happen,” Scovill jubilantly exclaims. “ProStar Recording, Mz. Fortune, Piano Man, Johnny “D.S.” Cash, local rapper Ace of Jays, Adrianne, Berkely Bob, Deb Hunsedder, Jeremy Thomas, Shelter Kidd, Betty Lou Fox, and Francillia…We helped make this happen with a concerted team effort!” Scovill is quick to add that Mad Monk, Ltd is planning to release a CD maxi-single of “Will U B Mine,” nominated for Best Dance Recording, later this year and, under the moniker Beatnik Castle. The single will feature new Mad Monk, LTD artist Francillia, as well as latin, techno, club, acoustic, and Island remixes by Scovill, Key Lo D, DJ Lenny B, and famed Miami DJ Cato K. Francillia’s full-length CD, tentatively titled “Temptation” is scheduled for release Spring 2009. Big House (and CounterRevolution) is still available through CD Baby at http://cdbaby.com/cd/scovillavenue3.

THE SUNSHINE STATE ACOUSTIC MUSIC CAMP is a Florida institution, an annual teaching/learning camp held at Boyd Hill Environmental Studies Area in St. Petersburg. The camp will be on NOVEMBER 14-15-16 this year.

NOW is the time to register. The SSAMC is kept small compared to other larger camps, because we want everyone to have a chance to have a maximum of good experiences in small classes and with plenty of one-on-one time with instructors outside of the class times. The camp provides an opportunity for students of all ages and levels of skill to spend an entire weekend with highly qualified teachers of acoustic music.

The teachers at SSAMC are not “celebrities”, but real experts, focused on acoustic music and interested in passing it on to you. The Sunshine State camp offers a wide array of classes (over 100 sessions in the weekend) in just about every subject imaginable pertaining to making acoustic music. There are student shows, a big instructor concert on Saturday night, mentored jamming around the fire circle at all times. Picnic areas, lots of room for kids to play, free camping, free RV parking, and bunks in bunkhouses are available--all in a beautiful natural setting. Tuition prices are reasonable and some scholarships are available.

Full information, pictures, and registration forms, are available on the internet through camp director Charley Groth's web site at http://www.cgmusicman.com . On the introductory page, click on the lower of two buttons to access the music camp section of the web site. If you have any questions or need any information not provided on the web site, please feel free to e-mail camp director Charley Groth at charleygroth@yahoo.com

The Sunshine State Music Camp operates as economically as possible, so we can keep the registration price low and offer the camp to as many people as possible. That means we don't have the kind of advertising and promotion budgets many of the larger, more "for-profit" camps have. Of course it is vitally important to get the word out! Every year people come to us **after** the camp and tell us they'd have been there if they'd only known about it in time. You can help us get the word out by forwarding this e-mail to your e-mail list and/or to anyone you think might be interested in coming to the camp or helping to let others know about the camp.

Thanks very much... Hope to see you at this year's Sunshine State Acoustic Music Camp. It looks like it will be one of the best ever. We'll learn a lot, teach a lot, share a lot, and have a MAJOR amount of fun!!
