L’Estrie celebrates 20 years By: Vanessa Lee Record Correspondent Lennoxviue It’s the only music camp in the Eastern Townships that offers specialized instruction for string musicians and it’s called Camp Musical de'L’Estrie.The camp’s 20th summer session began this past Monday, and runs through Aug.13.Eighty participants ranging in age from five to 14 years old are taking part in the two-week camp this year, located at Bishop’s University in Lennoxville.Twenty teachers and counselors are also on board.“We are unique because we cater to violin, viola, cello and bass players," said camp director Hélène Veillette.“There is a music camp in Asbestos, but that one is only for winds.Campers come from all over the region.We even have two girls who used to live in Montreal, but now travel from Texas to be here.’’ Aside from practising, there are also many opportunities to perform at the camp.There is a daily concert from Tuesday to Friday, as well as a theatre evening next Thursday.“We incorporate these components to get everyone more comfortable with performing in front of an audience,” said Veillette.“It also gives participants a chance to play in a recital/concert-like environment.” Veillette herself has been a part of the program for 19 years, which was created by violin teacher Isabelle Monsarrat.“I worked my way up from being a camper, counselor, assistant teacher, and teacher,” said Veillette.“And I’ve helped manage the camp for the past three years.” Veillette is confident the camp will continue to be successful for decades to come.“There is so much musical talent here.It’s a great way to motivate youth.They do great work in these two weeks.” *************** All Camp Musical de L’Estrie concerts are held at Bandeen Hall AND ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.THEY WILL BE HELD AUG.6 AT 11 A.M.(STUDENT concert); Aug.9 to Aug.12 at 4:15 p.m.(concert of the day); Aug.9 at 7:30 p.m.(chamber music with teachers and special guests from the Orford Arts

Keith’s latest album possibly best ever If, during his career, some of Toby Keith’s songs ruffled a few feathers in the country music industry, it didn’t stop him from being one of the most liked country stars of today.If you think about it, there’s nothing shocking at all about his music, if you do not take life to seriously.It is Keith’s redneck side taking over.The talent and in-your-face attitude of the two-time Entertainer of The Year manages to capture people’s attention.Some people are shocked by his sometimes redneck behaviour while others take it as being part of the singer/songwriter’ personality.For the major part, fans know that Keith is a sensitive artist who has been investing a lot of work and genuine emotion in all his recordings.Most of all, he is always true to his roots and honest, which reflects big time in his music.His brand new release Honkytonk University finds him in perfect vocal condition and offers a great mix of humour, love ballads and uptempo numbers.I think it’s one of his best albums, ever.The tall Okie, as always, wrote or co-wrote every song on the new album.The collection is honest, convincing and heartfelt work and as usual it offers some of Keith’s trademark humour.The tall singer has proved a long time ago his huge talent as a songwriter.He can tell a story with a clever twist, a touch of hu- _______ mour or sophistication combined with piercing insight.The leadoff single ‘Honky-tonk U’ is an autobiographical look at Keith’s musical beginning, a true story set to southern rock.His famous attitude shines through on the current single ‘As Good As I Once Was’.Even if years have taken their toll, he still has a good dose of southern male pride.Later, Keith’s sarcastic wit makes a welcome appearance on the swing flavoured ‘You Ain’t Leavin’ (Thank God Are Ya)’.There’s a few great ballads such as ‘You Caught Me At A Bad Time’, and ‘Your Smile’ and both make a very strong and poignant impression.Keith can be very tender and make us forget that he*can also be very shocking.One of the highlight on this album is Keith’s duet with veteran Merle Haggard on the die-hard country song ‘She Ain’t Hooked On Me No More’.The pairing of the two is even more effective than his pairing with legend Willie Nelson on ‘Beer For My Horses’.Their voices blend so well that it is Country Connection Jessie Aulis sometimes hard to tell who’s singing.If you start comparing the two artists they have so many similarities that it is breathtaking.They’re two rowdy patriots, rednecks, who can sing about heartbreaks like crazy and they are both accomplished songwriters.Keith now claims in almost every show that he is the spokesperson for the rednecks of America.I must admit that he is sometimes blunt, but extremely honest.If the singer has something on his mind he will say it or he’ll find a way to sing it.Sometimes he brings us back to the rebel days of country music by stepping outside the lines.‘Just The Guy To Do It’ is a catchy tune about a guy who flirts with a redhead right in front of his girlfriend, it is trademark Keith.‘Big Blue Note’ turns out to be a very witty ‘Dear John’ letter while ‘Where You Gonna Go’ is a very classic and sad country number set to Paul Franklin’s beautiful work on steel guitar.Keith is the Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings of modern times.He stands for what he believes in and he is a firm believer in his country, in God, and in love.He’s not ashamed to write and sing about it either.It is like he knows exactly what emotional button to push to get fans to react.This album offers a little less attitude and a lot more emotions almost like his early work.I strongly recommend this new album — it just grows on you.The more you listen the more you want to hear it-. .¦ .- ¦¦¦ i i .in —¦ .¦¦T,,rr page 16 August 5 - August 11, 2005 RECORD —==————— TALK Events August STORY TIME will be held in the North Hatley Library on Fridays in July

Organizers of this year’s awards ceremony said the quality of nominees underscores the reality that Canada is the second largest provider of country music stars to the world’s ever-burgeoning country music industry.“It shows that we have a star system built in Canada," said co-chairman Phil Kallsen.“We can develop stars here that may or may not export to the world.So over the years, with the system in place, the Canadian Country Music Association, we can actually develop home- grown stars who can make a nice living without ever having to leave Canada.” This year’s awards show is just one component of Country Music Week, an annual celebration which attracts approximately 2,500 delegates from all over North America.The four-day festivities will also include televised live performances, a wide variety of musical showcases and seminars and industry-centred gatherings.The public will also have several opportunities to mingle with their favourite country music stars at events scheduled throughout Calgary.For a complete list of nominees, visit www.ccma.org.—Can West News Service
