Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Lyrics
(Song #34 Black & White)
Black & White - written when I was 19.
- June 6, 2020 type adjustment
1.
Ma Mama told me,
She was a good night sleeper (Oh yea - you know)
Not a night time creeper,
In nothing she needs to tinker,
Not a bed time weepier,
Not a bed time thinker,
Just a good night sleeper.
Oh, Is it Black & White?
In the dark of old
It all goes away in the dark of the night.
- Ma Mama told me,
There are no troubles.
They all go away if you are a good night sleeper.
For me would she be a weepier?
No, She's a good night sleeper.
Oh, is it Black & White?
Why does my mind still fight?
I hope you are a good night sleeper.
2.
You done told me,
You were my love and keeper. (Oh yeah - you know )
You are on my life.
Is there any reason to fight it?
You weren't for bad time weeping,
(But I've) been a long time thinking.
Are you really a friend at
distance?
Oh can you see the light?
Can you see it in black and white?
I want it that way.
I can only think up for me for you.
So do you love me black and white? (Well, well yeah, I'd like to say -)
Yeah, You my Gal told me,
There are no troubles.
Would yo love me in the black
If I am a good night sleeper?
In or out of the sack - but what about the light?
Do you love me Black & White?
Oh, Can't it be black and white?
You Love me or you don't .
- - - coda - - -
What about the black & white?
They don't need to fight.
Just let it be Black & White. Clear
