                                                              A decision on whether to put Thunder Bay’s two city-owned

                                                              Administration delivered a report on the feasibility of selling

                                                            supplementary information.
                                                              The parkades lost a combined $281,500 in 2019, with the

                                                            those losses, according to the July report.
                                                              The report indicated there would be little interest from the
                                                            private sector, given the parkades’ known history of opera-

                                                              Coun. Shelby Ch’ng said she’d need far more wide-ranging

                                                            pandemic would impact their value in the short-term.
                                                              Coun. Mark Bentz agreed.

12   ON THE SCENE                                 Thursday, September 23, 2021

                    Eight is
                    enough
                    By Linda Maehans
                      The 2021 Group of Eight, as I’ve come to think of them, paint
                    for us scenes of life-since-Covid with a gloriously bright and
                    nuanced palette of bluegrass music. Harmonies beyond any
                    words I could use to try describing that for you; your own ears,
                    and your heart-strings, will tell you everything you’ve been
                    waiting and longing for.
                      This Group of Eight lives in a blue-and-green landscape by a
                    bay named for the strength and wonder of our storms in
                    autumn skies. And, like storms, they create enough energy to
                    sizzle and shine through near any setback or trouble.
                      They make it sound and look easy.
                      With Home: A Bluegrass Celebration, Magnus’ first live
                    production of their 2021-22 season, we get propelled straight
                    into the colours of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. With this
                    show, our days and nights certainly never seem drab or dull.
                    And, after the bursts of excitement we are quieted as if by
                    droplets of soft rain against a window pane, or the shimmer of
                    moonlight-on-water. We’re carried along, together, by an ebb
                    and flow of emotions. Of memories. Private, personal; yet
                    poignantly shared.
                      And, man-oh-man, some darn good chuckles. Downright
                    belly-laughs. There’s much sharp wit; even a few moments
                                          about which we can all grimace and groan.
                                          Yet, here’s the thing. The energy of this
                                          show, its rhythms and tempos are real,
                                          genuinely honest and true.
                                            Guaranteed this Group of Eight will have
                                          your toes a’tappin’ mere minutes after
                                          they’ve picked up their instruments,
                                          adjusted their microphones. Sit back, let
                                          the colour wash over you; then maybe in
                                          your imagination dance your way up to
                    FAE ALEXANDER         the stars and back. I promise you’ll feel so
                                          inclined.
                                            Here’s my Group of Eight: Jo-Ann
                    Waytowich; Danny Johnson; Fae Alexander; Robert Balabuck;
                    Susie Campbell; Olivia Korkola; Martin Blanchet; Dan
                    Zadkovich.
                      You’ll find a paintbox-of-details on each of them on Magnus’
                    website; regretfully Covid restrictions don’t allow for
                    programs-in-hand.
                      Back to my Group of Eight and the instruments they so
                    effortlessly play: mandolin; acoustic guitar; electric guitar and
                    bass; banjo; dobro; fiddle; snare drum (with brushes); double-
                    bass.
                      Their voices, ranging some five-six octaves on a traditional
                    upright piano belt out, or croon, soprano; first and second alto;
                    first and second tenor; baritone; and bass. We even get an
                    unexpected sample of falsetto, not sayin’ when. By then your
                    face will be set in a gleeful grin anyway.
                      Contact Magnus’ box office for your seats, leave any worries
                    you may have in the back-forty, and treat yourself to one
                    honey-sweet hootenanny of an experience.
                      Directed by Thom Currie; conceived and created by Jo-Ann
                    Waytowich; musical direction by Danny Johnson. The world
                    premiere of Home: A Bluegrass Celebration plays from now
                    until October 2. Yee-haw!
