"Lynn McDonald Presents" will be a comprehensive music program including swing, dixieland, chamber, clas- sical folk and World music. Swing shift, a big band from the traditional era, opened the series to half a house. A small but whistling, cheery, standing ovation audience. A very good start.

Jane Bunnett is doing the summer festival tour and comes to Port Perry from Los Angeles. Toronto-based, Bunnett is always thrilled by donations of musical instruments to take to Cuba. That is why Lynn McDonald is doing an instrument drive to be dropped off at Port Perry United Church. Please come out.
