He enjoyed a fascinating and accomplished career as a professional musician over the course of six decades. From ‘60s R&B and underground blues-rock in such outfits as Jon and Lee and The Checkmates, The Electric Flag, and Rhinoceros, Fonfara went on to a long stint with Lou Reed and then the Downchild Blues Band, plus work with Rough Trade, Foreigner, The Lincolns, reggae pioneers Sly and Robbie, and more. It is fair to claim his resume is as musically diverse as any in Canadian music. He has perhaps been something of an unsung hero, but the huge outpouring of affection as news of his passing spread on social media recently affirms that he was held in enormous respect by his musical peers Michael Fonfara was the most beloved of Toronto keyboard players who rose to international fame.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

    B L U E I N K APRIL 2016 Gator By the Bay Brings Musicians Together in Exciting Pairings Now in its 15th year, Gator By the Bay, May 5-8, 2016, has become a wildly popular San Diego festival tradition known for presenting an eclectic mix of musical styles and a fun- filled atmosphere. Wander among the festival’s seven stages and you can listen to everything from authentic Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco music to Chicago and West Coast Blues, from Latin to Rockabilly and Swing. In recent years, Gator By the Bay has also earned a stand-out reputation for bringing together stellar combinations of musicians in innovative mash-up performances, presenting musical groupings you won’t hear anywhere else. This year is no exception. On Saturday, May 7, San Diego’s own multiple gold guitarist Johnny Vernazza will share the Mardi Gras Stage with blues greats Roy Rogers and John Németh. Often lauded as the “Master of the Slide Guitar”, Roy Rogers’ distinctive style is instantly recognizable. He’s shared duets with such greats as John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint, and teamed up with the likes of Norton Buffalo and Ray Manzarek. Harmonica virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter John Németh has multiple Blues Music Awards nominations to his name, and his album, ‘Memphis Grease’, won Best Soul Blues Album at the 2015 Blues Music Awards. He has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards 2016 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, to be given out on May 5.

  • The Role of Civil Society Organizations in the Net Neutrality Debate in Canada and the United States
    THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE NET NEUTRALITY DEBATE IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES By Bruce Thomas Harpham A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Studies Graduate Department of the Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Bruce Thomas Harpham (2009) Thesis title: The role of civil society organizations in the net neutrality debate in Canada and the United States Degree: Master of Information Studies (2009) Author: Bruce Thomas Harpham Graduate Department: Faculty of Information Institution: University of Toronto Abstract: This thesis investigates the policy frames employed by civil society organizations (CSOs) in the network neutrality debate in Canada and the United States. Network neutrality is defined as restrictions on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to respect freedom of expression on the Internet and not seek to prevent innovative competition nor control the services or content available to users. The primary question under investigation is the policy frames of CSOs in the debate. The second question is whether CSOs have influenced policy outcomes in either legislation or regulation. The focus of the analysis is on regulatory agencies (CRTC and FCC); proposed legislation in Parliament and Congress is also analyzed as well. By examining the arguments advanced by various policy participants (government, ISPs, and CSOs), common points can be identified that may help the participants come to agreement. ii Acknowledgements Over the months of research and writing the thesis, I have greatly benefited from the comments and suggestions from my supervisors, Professors Andrew Clement and Nadia Caidi. Their contributions have allowed me to develop my argument in greater detail and have pointed out errors and other problems.
