CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Grimes Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Pantalone The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Legendary Blues Guitarist Jeff Healey on March 2, 2008. Born in Toronto and raised in the City’s west end, Jeff Healey was a self-taught child prodigy of the guitar by age 4. Blinded by the age of 1 from a rare form of cancer, Jeff Healey overcame his disability and lived as an example that anything is possible. He soon became an internationally recognized music star playing with music greats Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Harrison, Eric Clapton and B. B. King and was known for his unique form of playing the guitar laid across his lap. His musical talents were expressed primarily through the blues-rock music he created, but his passion was jazz. He could be heard on his CBC radio program My Kinda Jazz, or in concert with Jeff Healey’s Jazz Wizards, personifying the art form he loved so dearly. Jeff Healey’s debut album See the Light, received a Grammy nomination and a Juno award and sold over 1 million copies. The true talent of Jeff Healey and his musical genius will continue to live on through those he touched and his greatness will always be remembered. The City Clerk is requested to convey, on behalf of the Members of Toronto City Council, our sincere sympathy to his wife, Christie, daughter, Rachel, and son Derek, his father and stepmother, Bud and Rose, and his sisters, Laura and Linda. March 4, 2008 .

Shakin' All Over: Canadian Pop Music in the 1960S
Shakin’ All Over: Canadian Pop Music in the 1960s. Written by Nicholas Jennings and directed by Gary McGroarty.1 video disc (90 min.): col., some b&w. Kelowna, BC: Filmwest Associates [http://indigo.filmwest.com], [2007?]. $195.00 Originally aired on CBC in January 2006, this film traces Canadian popular music, at least the kind rooted in rhythm and blues, rockabilly and folk, from the early sixties to the establishment of the Canadian Content rules for radio and television in 1971. The film consists of clips from close to sixty songs, dozens of interviews, and archival footage going all the way back to Ian and Sylvia Tyson discussing that epiphanous moment when they heard Dylan perform “Blowin’ in the Wind” in Greenwich Village to Crowbar playing “Oh What a Feeling” in the early 1970s at the “dawn of Cancon.” The Tysons realized they could also write their own tunes rather than exclusively performing traditional material. Hearing and seeing the duo perform their “Four Strong Winds” in a clip from about 1964, one realizes, though, just how proper the Canadians sounded in comparison to Dylan, with his scruffy and idiosyncratic whine. They may have taken their cue from him, but their musical manners were clearly of a different nature, suggesting a direction rooted more in the traditions of the British Isles than American folk. Ironically, when the Yorkville and Yonge Street music scenes begin to develop and there was talk of a Toronto sound in 1966, it was the music of Ronnie Hawkins, a transplanted American with a southern drawl who, at least according to the film, personified that sound.

For Immediate Release Chris Barber's “Memories of My
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 29, 2019 CHRIS BARBER’S “MEMORIES OF MY TRIP” TO BE RE-ISSUED OCTOBER 11TH This career-spanning set of collaborations with other jazz, skiffle, blues and gospel luminaries gets a new release in celebration of Barber’s 65-year legacy. LONDON— Following the recent announcement by trombonist and band leader Chris Barber of his permanent retirement from full-time music after 65 years, The Last Music Company will re-issue MEMORIES OF MY TRIP on October 11th. Barber had been leading his internationally popular band since 1954. In addition to being a co-founder of the legendary Marquee Club which saw the earliest performances of Alexis Korner and The Rolling Stones, Barber is credited with bringing many American blues and gospel legends to Britain for the first time to appear with his band; including Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Louis Jordan, Sonny Boy Williamson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. In fact, Barber lit the fuse for John Lennon’s Quarrymen with the skiffle boom, and tremors in the wake of his blues tours fueled The British Invasion, inspiring the likes of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, and others. Billy Bragg explains, “…[Barber’s] role in inspiring the world-beating British groups of the 1960s cannot be overestimated." Nick Lowe goes even further to suggest that, “without Chris Barber, the sum total of Britain's contribution to popular music would be ‘Green Door’ by Frankie Vaughan.” MEMORIES OF MY TRIP is the only collection of Barber’s rare collaborations in existence. Artists featured here include Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Eric Clapton, James Cotton, Ottilie Patterson, Lonnie Donegan, Keith Emerson, Andy Fairweather Low, Rory Gallagher, Edmond Hall, Jeff Healey, Jools Holland, Paul Jones, Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison, Dr.
