“The Kootenays are beautiful
in the fall, obviously I picked a’.
good time to visit,” said Olender.,

Even though it was small heli.
day - Olender still found tiie for,’
PR. work with Murray David’
Collins, music director for CKQR"’
Radio in Castlegar,

“The interview was a! ‘lot of *
fun, And it’s great they've added *
one of my songs to their playlist.”

The song What You Do To'Me,

which has been added to the radio“
station’s playlist, was one of three”

to be sent ona demo-tape to New
York. After receiving positive
feedback on it, young Olender
was given an audition by one the,

industry's top recording coaches,’ ji

Jan Cooper.

“Jan has really been the whole
push behind everything. He’s
worked with’a lot of the greats,
including Bon Jovi and ACIDC, -
he said.

Olender’s music style however
is not at all like the above, amen:
tioned groups.

"Pm de definitely Top 40 style. A

" lot of love songs, but not ballads. .

You oe it as soft rock.”

Most people perceive a cow-
boy to be a rough and tough char-
acter with a hard backside and
personality. The “Cowboy
Image” of a rugged-looking man
with a ten gallon hat and a mouth
full of snuff often comes to mind,

: but there are always exceptions to

most stereo-typed images. One
such exception is a young cow-
boy named Jack Jackson.

Jack is a talented inspirational
singer, musician, and recording
artist.

Known as the singing cowboy,
Jack has toured extensively
across Canada and the US within
an accomplished team of profes-
sional musicians called the ~
don River Band.

They have conducted conceal is,

and crusades, sharing with people .

a hope of tomorrow, and helping
for today through faith in Jesus

Olender would not elaborate

About her exhibition Judy
says, “I’ve always liked to draw
and create things. Now I'm real-
izing that I am an artist and that
art sustains me. I know that I am
a master of none of the things I'm
exhibiting, but I’m bringing my
secret life out into the light of
day.” I’m hoping that the show

will be fun ... that I've created an
atmosphere showing the joy of
discovery I’ve had in creating
new things.”
