TORONTO — It's not uncommon for people to feel
moved by music, but at a recent performance by Downchild
more than a few folks felt a lump in their throats.

Music industry types and well-wishers had packed a
Toronto bar to celebrate the release of the blues band's new
album, It's Been So Long, the group's 10th LP in its 20-year
existence.

As the eight-man band took the stage to perform, the
cheering had a bittersweet edge — the record is the band’s
first since it was struck by tragedy.

In 1982, Downchild leader and founder Donnie Walsh
was living with the group's pianist Jane Vasey. Her leuk
emia had been detected in 1977.

“I was on stage in Niagara Falls, (Ont.,) and she'd gone
into the hospital for more treatment,” Walsh said. “Someone
came up to me in the middle of a song and said ‘Stop the
band, there's a phone call for you.’

“Then I knew. The hospital told me she'd gone.”

After recording hits like Flip Flop and Fly, inspiring the
Blues Brothers, and earning a reputation across’ North

charters on Lake Ontario.

SPARKS MISSING
The band eventually drifted back together and played
sporadically, but the spark was gone. Walsh, the group's
songwriter, couldn't put pen to paper.

Walsh ran fishing

When Vasey's death was brought up in an interview,
Walsh fell silent. Flaim jumped in.

“It's hard to do something positive when something like
that happens,” said the big-voiced Flaim, whose neck is
thicker than most people's thighs.

“How do you go around . .. and say ‘Hey guys, I wrote a
good tune.’ Like, who cares?”

Slide guitarist Mike McKenna gave the group some of
its old spark back when he joined about three years ago.
McKenna, whom Walsh compares with legend Elmore
James, played with McKenna Mendelson Mainline in the
early ‘70s.

Flaim rejoined a year later and “the last piece in the
puzzle” was the addition of Gene Taylor about four months
ago, Walsh said.

ild back

Taylor, from Texas, is one of North America’s top
boogie woogie piano players, having worked with T-Bone
Walker and the Blasters.

‘As the band started becoming a band again,” Flaim
said, I noticed the songs started to come to Donny again.”
NEW CONTRACT

All it took was a one-minute meeting to set up a deal
with Edmonton label Stony Plain, The album was recorded
in late 1987 in Toronto with Walsh handling production.

“You know that expression, ‘Boy, we ‘shudda?’ Well,
there isn't any of that on-this record,” Walsh said with
conviction.

It's a boogie-fest from start to finish. The horns give it
big-band sparkle, McKenna’s guitar adds muscle and Walsh
contributes some of the best blues harmonica this side of
Chieago.

Walsh said it's the best Downchild album yet, mainly
because he let the players have Piowty. of say in the stud
That's ‘surprising considering W; 's reputation as an
iron-fisted leader.

‘ians have tropped through Downchild
Walsh has turfed out many for un-
reliability, including his brother Richard.

But Walsh said most of those musicians couldn't play his
brand of blues.

“The reason I started the band was because I liked the
style of blues heard on records, and nobody was playing it,”
said Walsh, noting he drew his inspiration from artists like
Muddy Waters and Lowell Fulsom.

INSPIRES ACKROYD

It was Walsh who inspired comic and friend Dan
Ackroyd to create the Blues Brothers.

Ackroyd, a big Downchild fan, developed the duo on the
Saturday Night Live TV program with the late John
Belushi. Their album, Briefcase Full of Blues, sold more than
three million copies in 1980 and Walsh's tune Almost became
a hit worldwide.

But Downchild was unable to capitalize on the Blues
Brothers success because a U.S. tour was poorly organized.

Now, with an accomplished new record and a hot band,
Walsh is confidently preparing for a Canadian tour. As
Downchild fans watch the group in action, there's little
doubt they'll find themselves agreeing with two lines from
one song on the album:

“It's been so long since I felt like clapping my hands. But
I just can’t help it when I hear a real good band.”

History texts have often contained a picture of a

A previously unexamined Spanish will in the Public
Archives of Canada shows that Champlain inherited a
substantial estate near La Rochelle, France, from an
uncle who had sailed for the king of Spain.

And, Armstrong says, one of the things Champlain's

MAKES SUGGESTION

Armstrong suggests the marriage had been
arranged because Champlain needed friends at court
after his old commander, King Henri IV, was assas-
sinated. His new father-in-law was Nicolas Boulle,
secretary of the king's chamber.

The wedding guests on the bride's side included the
king's horse doctor and the most popular barber in Paris.
The guests on the groom's side were less distinguished.

Armstrong, an economic adviser to the Canadien
Council for Native Business in Toronto, is not a pro-
fessional historian; he does have, however, a clearer
writing style than many academic:

He's particularly good at explaining Champlain's skill
as a map-maker. Armstrong owns a large collection of
early Canadian maps, and his first book, From Sea Unto
Sea; Art and Discovery Maps of Canada, was a
best-seller.

Armstrong introduces Champlain as a veteran of
France's religious and civil wars who had also sailed to
Mexico with the Spanish fleet before helping explore the
coast of New England and Eas‘ern Canada.

“The European background is important,” Arm-
strong said. “Too often, Canadian history is presented as
starting with somebody walking down a gangplank, as if
they had no life before they arrived here.”

Carnival huge success

By JOHN EGGLETON

Grades 5 and 6 students of
Kinnaird elementary school
and Woodland Park element-
ary school recently partici-
pated in their fifth annual
French Carnaval.

In order to provide cult
urally enriching learning ex
periences as a part of the
core French program at the
elementary school level,
Carnaval is modelled on the
Quebec “Carnaval” exper.
iences.

Students receive vocabu-
lary reinforcement, films and
slides which provide an over-
view of Quebec's famous
Carnaval as well as infor.

mation which links modern
Carnaval to its traditional
past underlining the cultural
foundation of its history.

Teams, compete in the
“course en canots” race, tug:
of-war and the ever-popular,
‘sculpture de neige’, cheered
on by the ‘officiel symbole de
Carnaval’ the popular Mr.
Snowman, affectionately
known as ‘M. Bonhomme’.
Students dress up in cos
tumes and parade through
out the school singing French
songs.

energetic program, the par.
