years later, Macdonald is still strumming away with the groups The Castaways and the Late Bloomers.John Macdonald has been honing his talent for 57years By Lewis Evans Record Correspondent Lennoxville For the past 57 years, John Macdonald has been developing his musical talent.A self-taught musician, today he entertains local audiences with his brand of country rock.“I started playing the guitar when I was 14 or 15 years old.1 just sort of picked it up listening to others or to the radio,” remembers Macdonald.“I didn’t even know how to tune my first guitar!” Growing up in Dell, a small community near Scotstown, Macdonald admits that he was not blessed with much in the way of a musical scene.“I had a neighbour, Mr.Duvall, who played the violin.We used to play together a bit, but we were terrible,” laughs Macdonald.“The people we played for thought it was great, though.There wasn’t all that much live music back then.” How things have changed for Macdonald, who now plays in two bands, The Castaways and the Late Bloomers, which stage performances from Stanstead to Knowlton to Lennoxville.But, as he explains, most of his life has been about extraordinary change, including his birth.“The doctor who delivered me, a Dr.Smith, I believe, wasn’t a very good doctor.When I was born, he took me and wrapped me in a blanket.He threw me in the corner and told my mother and grandmother I was dead,” says Macdonald.“My grandmother didn’t believe him.She picked me up and blew into my mouth until 1 came alive.She saved my life.” See Macdonald, Page 16 page 2 October

would least expect it PHOTOS BY PERRY BEATON/SPEOAL Townships resident Denis Palmer is co-featured at Raymond Chabot’s latest display.>1 By Jake Brennan Special to the Record Fifteen years ago, the main Sherbrooke office of the Raymond Chabot accounting firm moved to the fifth floor of455 King W.The company brass decided that its spacious offices needed some kind of ‘interesting’ decoration, and so Claude Métras, a real estate appraiser for 10 years with the accounting giant, was put on the case.“I said ‘why don’t we invite the artists of the region?”’, Métras recalls.A decade and a half later, the office of the since merged Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, the largest accounting firm in Quebec, has hosted 119 artists, and has an exhibition waiting list that hovers around 20 names long — about 3 years.Each group show lasts three months, and the artists get 100 per cent of their art sale revenue.“We’re not a gallery,” explains Métras.“We offer our space for free.What you see here costs the artists nothing.The only thing they have to do is help me hang their pictures, and we take care of everything else.” But the ride hasn’t always been so smooth.Some seven years ago, the management considered stopping the program when it was becoming too costly for the company.As the art show public relations officer, Métras was left with the unsavoury task of letting the artists know.“When I wrote to the artists about this, they said, ‘you can’t do that, because now you’re recognized as a certain level.If we exhibit at your place, we’re requested somewhere else.Doors open.’ We never imagined that at the beginning.” The project was never axed, and Métras feels the company has successfully maintained the high standards they’ve established by insisting on originality.“There are many good artists out there who copy,” he said.“We want creativity.” And with their latest two-artist show, that’s what they got.Denis Palmer hails from Montreal, but moved to the Townships a few years after graduating from the McGill Architecture program in 1974.Despite limited formal artistic training — his architectural drafting courses and a few art courses in Sweden and Maine — he has continuously worked in watercolour and drawing since the mid-1970s.But at the end of the ’80s, he found himself in a bit of a rut, a stylistic dead-end.“I thought ‘something needs to .happen,’” he recalls.TTiat all changed when, in the summer of 1990, he attended Maine’s Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.His gift for re- counting the interesting interactions he shared with many of his portrait subjects, who are often of the ‘local character’ variety, was pointed out to him by his fellow Haystack classmates, and soon he started incorporating sometimes political, sometimes poetic texts right into his paintings.The results are at once rich and beautiful.Palmer has a knack for combining words and images on the subject of native rights, a topic which captured his interest when he started venturing north during the construction of the James Bay power project.Enchanted by the community of Kokomville, with beaver pelts hanging to dry outside its little tents, their canvas roofs surmounted by TV antennas, he now returns about once a year to paint the locals and their stories.But it is Palmer’s refined watercolour technique that holds it all together.His scene of a wintry gale at night in this show displays a mastery of watercolour technique and an oriental sensibility to the balance between blank and filled spaces that explain why so many have flocked to his adult art classes at Champlain College since 1986.And he has a few tricks up his sleeve to pass on to students.“When you’ve got snow on the ground, it’s white paper, so you don’t have to paint the snow.There are lots of shortcuts.” A gregarious guy, Palmer enjoys teaching because it breaks the solitude of plein air painting.“When you teach people, it makes you rehash how you do things, why you do things, and it’s like me going back to school,” he adds.Stuart Main, the other, more widely known artist in the current exhibition, lives and paints in Bishopton.The East Angus native was an illustrator for a graphics firm until he retired 10 years ago, giving him more time to devote to his oil landscapes, which today sell at galleries in Montreal, Quebec City, Baie-St.-Paul, and Toronto.He was introduced to the medium by friends of his, prominent painters such as Lome Bouchard and Bruce LeDain, who encouraged him to come on outdoor painting trips with them.He still consid- ers them his major influences.“You leam a little bit from one guy, a bit from another guy, eventually you develop a style of your own, and you’re away,” he explains.An artist whose works are snapped up almost as fast as he creates them, Main sold four paintings from his summer output at this show’s vernissage.He modestly chalks his popularity up to his subject matter — pastoral scenes, always with signs of humanity somewhere: a country road, a bam, a fence.“I live on a farm like these, so it’s sort of natural, I guess .if you put me in the middle of Montreal and told me to do a painting, I really wouldn’t enjoy it.” Main admits to rearranging the trees, bams, and other objects in his compositions to make them more harmonious, and to cutting a good comer out of a bad painting to sell it as its own work.These are not mere mercenary decisions, however."Sellable doesn’t mean anything.If you don’t like it, you don’t want to put a bad one out there.people are amazingly astute.They know what’s good and what isn’t good, you can’t fool them.You put something out you’re not quite satisfied with, it’ll sit there.” His awareness of public taste, possibly gained from working as a commercial illustrator for so many years, ensures that not many of his works do sit there.Metras is currently at work on the Sept.2003 show, and his artist waiting list only gets longer.Judging by both the presentation and the art currently on view, it will be worth the wait.The public can see the paintings of Palmer and Main during regular business hours at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton at 455 King 0., Suite 500, until Dec.13.Bishopton artist Stuart Main and Raymond Chabot representative Réal Létoumeau.-•- il TALK OF THE ToVPnshipS - ¦'—THE— i — RECORD October 4-October 10, 2002 page 3 Sounds to soothe the savage

CHOWN HOT TODDY JW-JONES BAND By Jake Brennan Special to The Record Tonight the great Lennoxville tradition of acoustic music in a quiet listening atmosphere at a reasonable price continues with the first show of the Church Street Cafe’s fourth season.Starting things off for the year will be two acts from Montreal, renowned singer-songwriter Penny Lang, who has managed to remain on the leading edge of folky blues music since the ’60s, and C-section, a three-member group interested in music from all comers of the globe.C-Section, composed of members Donna Berry, Isabel Belina and Evey Miller, will open the evening with some of their own tunes mixed with music from around the world.They will sing not just in English, but in Spanish, an obscure African dialect, and will even perform some ‘mouth music’—songs with gibberish lyrics—in Micmac.“We just find songs we like, and then sing them,” said Hatley native Evey Miller of her band’s eclectic tastes.C-Section began in 1999 when.its three members, old friends, got up on stage for their first time together to perform at an In-ternational Women’s Day gathering.The three songs they sang were all in the key of C, “hence the name,” explained Miller, adding that of course no pun was intended.Backed by guitar and percussion or singing a cappella, the trio will fill the Lennoxville United Church with their gorgeous three-part harmonies which make them so popular everywhere they play, including Church St.last season.“We had a great time last year,” said Miller."It’s one of the most welcoming crowds that we’ve sung for.They’re very happy to be listening, and they express their appreciation.It’s easier to sing when you know the people are just really glad you’re there." Penny Lang is a veteran of the folk scene who has spent most of her career based in Montreal.Her songs have been called emotionally powerful observations of the human condition, memorable for their mix of poignancy and humour.Her powerful interpretations and originals in the folk, blues, country and gospel styles gained her a devoted following in the 1960’s, but she shunned incipient fame in favour of taking care of her newborn son in a cabin in the Quebec wilderness.Lang reemerged in 1988, and soon re gained her reputation as the ‘first lady of Canadian folk.’ She has recorded six albums in the past ten years, and has taken them on the road not just across North America, but to such far-flung locales as Australia, Italy, Denmark, France and the UK.Last year she entered a new phase of her career when she signed with Canada’s top folk music label, Borealis, to record her newest album, Gather Honey.She has also branched out into children’s recording, and performs for schools frequently, including Sawyerville Elementary School yesterday.Many have commented on Lang’s charismatic, commanding presence, which should make tonight’s concert one not to be missed.Falling on the first Friday of each month, the Church St Café provides an excellent venue for new and established folk and bluegrass acts.Most of them come for the exposure, but always hope to return for the great acoustics and attentive crowd undistracted by smoking, chatting or drinking.Coffee, baked goods, and apple cider are served at 50 cents each, simply to cover costs, said co-founders Janice Leduc and her partner David Gillies.The $6 cover charge is simply to pay the musicians in this not-for-profit venture.Next month the Café will welcome Last Chance, a local bluegrass band led by the harmonious brothers Carlisle and David McBumey, backed by Wayne Nutbrown on fiddle and banjo, and Perry Beaton on bass.The shows always start prompdy at 8 pan.Blues Festival Thanksgiving Week-end October 11-12-13 .1st edition • Two shows per night .Musicians from Montreal, Fredericton London and Ottawa Two shows for the price of one!

Motion Picture MOONLIGHT MILE Various Artists Music from the motion picture Moonlight Mile (Epic/Sony Canada) Take what you will away from motion pictures, but often a soundtrack can capture the imagination, spirit and nostalgia of a particular era better than any actor or actress can.Take the 14-song compilation from the movie Moonlight Mile, staring Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon.Not only does it boast a collection of eclectic classic rock singles like the Rolling Stones’ ‘Moonlight Mile’, Bob Dylan’s ‘Buckets of Rain’ and Jefferson Airplane’s ‘Cornin’ Back to Me’, but it also includes more contemporary music, like ‘Love Will Come Through’ from the UK group Travis.Add Gary Glitter’s ‘Rock and Roll (Part 2)’ a sports-anthem song if you ever heard one, and the soundtrack is starting to become more attractive to a much younger generation.However, the album’s real selling point is in its artists, who also include Elton John, David Bowie, Van Morrison and more.Young or old, classic rock or progressive rock, this compilation will surprise those who give it a chance.-J-Z.Arnold Davis Take a Walk With Me (Sunnymead) Take 62 years in the Townships, mix in a Fender Telecaster

sound a lot like British rockers Pink Floyd, and with good reason.- they started as a cover band for said group.Trying to Kiss the Sun conveniently fits into the progressive or prog you get Arnold Davis’ album Take a Walk With Me.After performing across Quebec and parts of Ontario for the better part of 30 years, the Mansonville resident has finally got into a studio to record the uniquely rural country disk with local Sunnymead Records.Most of the 13-song album reveals hints of Bob Dylan’s storytelling and Waylon Jennings’ country rock through the singer/songwriter’s distinctive, rugged regional vocals.It also goes so far to include a little bit of Irish and Caribbean flavour through two instrumental numbers, ‘Irish Heir’ and ‘If.Most notably, however are its slow country melodies with string and horn arrangements, T Still Have Someone’, as well as several subtle waltzes, ‘Old Country Hippie’ and the title track.-J.z.Alice Peacock Self-tided (Columbia/Aware Records) Following her successful 1998 debut self-released album Real Day, which sold nearly 10,000 copies, prolific singer/songwriter Alice Peacock returns with a captivating collection of rock meets folk meets pop melodies on her latest self-titled disk.Highlighted by an unforgettable sweet and enchanting voice, Peacock’s material touches on topics like love and loss, inner thoughts and human existence.Compared with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell and Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Peacock goes deeper, often combining elements of bluegrass, eclectic rock and even gospel into her music.Joined by Indigo Girl Emily Sailers, labelmate John Mayer, singer/songwriter Kristen Hall, folk singer John Gorka and drummer Charley Drayton, Peacock still makes her self-titled album all her

exploration, especially on the seven-minute track ‘Waiting for a Smile’ and the eight-minute wonder ‘Side by side’.The album also features elements of rock mixed with floating vocals and an array of arrangements.This is truly a CD any Pink Floyd fan, or experimental music fan for that matter, would enjoy The single ‘Sugar for the Ape’ is one of very few louder tracks, and even then things do not get terribly horribly aggressive.The music can be a shade far out, but often times it is just the thing that would provide a pleasant backdrop to relaxing after a particularly hectic day.-T.D.: i

When one looks at the political class of today, one can observe that work needs to be done to match the politicians of the past.There are a few notable exceptions, but - unfortunately - they are not the rule.Brief The dark side of Oz Staff The Bishop’s University Lady Gaiters Rugby Football Club will be hosting a movie night as a fundraiser for the team Oct.4.The club will present the Dark Side of Oz, which deals with a long time legend/old wives tale about the movie the Wizard of Oz, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon going togeth- er.The legend goes that if you start the album after the third roar of the MGM lion, the two go together.Skepticism is easy, but players and coaches want to let the viewers decide what they think.Two viewings will be offered at • Bishop’s University’s Centennial Theatre at 7 and 9:30 p.m The entrance fee is $5, and all proceeds go towards covering the costs and expenses of the club.

That’s because, as he explained, “especially in piano, there’s so much repertoire that it takes you almost forever to go through a lot of the standard rep before you can specialize, and I haven’t really done that yet.I’m working my way through different periods before 1 decide which way I want to go.” One possible direction for the young musician could be contemporary Canadian piano music.“That would be something I’d like to get into, because I’m finding there’s a lot of music out there, but a lot of it is not recorded.A lot of American and European pianists don't really jump into the Canadian repertoire, so it’s an area where I think you can make your mark." The pianist had heard works by MacDonald performed down in Ontario, and said the composer was part of what made the one-year contract position at Bishop’s appealing.Osmun attended the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY for his Master’s and Ph.D., then taught there after graduating in 2000.He then taught for a year at the smaller, less competitive UPEI, which prepared him for the friendliness of Bishop’s, he said.Here he teaches music theory, piano, and chamber music.But it wasn’t just the convivial atmosphere and great faculty that drew him to Bishop’s, he admitted.The university’s brand new Hamburg Steinway seven-foot piano is “probably the finest piano I have ever played on,” he said.“That’s why artists enjoy playing here so much, because the hall is wonderful acoustically, and the instrument is phenomenal.I can’t imagine too many universities have an instrument of this caliber.” The instrument is the second Hamburg Steinway the department has had, and was needed, said MacDonald, because the older one, acquired in 1985, was “being played way too much, and was showing signs of wear.” It was becoming apparent that the instrument was receiving too much use to continue as a concert instrument.In the spring of 2000, the Music Department met with Mona Bandeen, whom MacDonald described as “a great friend of the music department and the university,” to discuss the purchase of another Steinway piano.With funds from the S.M.Blair Family Foundation and Bandeen’s blessing, Bishop’s piano professor Brigitte Poulin went to the Steinway factory in Hamburg to select the exceptional instrument.The piano was built according to a tradition of craftsmanship started by Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg when he made his first piano in the kitchen of his home in Seesen, Germany in 1836.After emigrating to the United States in 1850, Stein-way & Sons was founded in New York, and branches were opened in London in 1875 and in Hamburg in 1880.By the year 1987, 500,000 Steinway pianos had been built, each to exacting standards, with an emphasis always on hand crafting.MacDonald said that to protect the investment, “security has to be tight, because damages cost a lot to repair.We have to be very careful with it.” That means playing is limited to four hours a day, and when it is not in use, a special humidification system creates a microclimate under it’s tent-like cover, humidifying in winter or dehumidifying in summer to keep the wood in the best shape possible.“We’ve been very lucky to get these two nice instruments, but you never know when we’ll get another, so we want to take good care of it,” said MacDonald.The new instrument is a further draw for pianists to come play in the wonderful acoustics of Bandeen Hall, and makes two-piano concerts possible.Tickets for Osmun’s 8 p.m.concert are available at the Centennial theatre box office (819-822-9692) or at the door.For more information, call 819-822-9600, ext.2642) Admission for adults and seniors are $15 and $10; students are $7, or consider the special “fiveconcert series” at $55 (adult) /$35 (senior) /$25 (student).ujujuj.galaxycinemas.com 5H0WTIMES EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 4TH TO OCTOBER IOTH ESPIONS EN HERBE 2 (G] Fri-Sun 12:45 RED DRAGON ( I6Y) Fri-Sun: 12:50, 15:50, 18:50,2145 Mon-Thu: PHOTO OBSESSION ( I3Y) Fri-Sun: 12:55,15:55, 18:55,21:35 Mon- CINEMA M0THE8BABY SWEET HOME ALABAMA (FV) Wednesday, OctS.i SX) p.tn .: phuiwiç HOMMES DE MAM ,ç Thw*d*fcÛct.I0,*00pji ri» required SWEET HOME ALABAMA (G) (FV) SIGNES (G) (Not rfCOflHMftdad lor young chit 15:50, 18:50,21:45 Thu: 15:55,18:55,21:35 Frt-Sun 12:35, 15:35,18:35,21:35 Mon-Thu: 15:35, 18:35,21:35 L6 SMOKING (G) (Not rtcommcndcd for young children) Fri-Sufl: IB: 10, 16:10, 19:10,21:25 MorvThU: 16:10, 19:10, dm) Everyday except Thu: 15:30, 18:30, 2l :30Thu: 15:30,21:30 HISTOIRE DEPEN(I3Y* Violence ?Coarse Language) Fri-Sun 12:40, 15:40, 18:40,21:40Mon-Thu: 15:40, 1840,2140 DRAGON ROUGE (I6Y)FH Sun: 12:30, 14:00, 15:30, 1700, 18:30, 2000,21:30 Mon-Thu: 15:30, 1700, 18:30,20:00,21:30 LES QUATRE PLUMES (G) (Not mended for young chldm) Fri-Sun 12:25, 15:25,18.25,21:25 Mon-Thu: 15:25, 1825,21:25 08245 TALK OF THE Townships 1 1 ¦¦THE»- i ¦ ii in.'¦¦¦¦!
