10 the oxamlner Thursday August 23 1979 39$ Larry Good left and Brian Good right perform during the Good Brothers in concert at the Barrie Fair on Tuesday The band played tight 80minute set that ranged from country to rock Examiner Photo Goodgrass triumphs at Barrie grandstand show By STEPHEN iAlEZII Of The Examiner Some call in Newgrass others call it Goodgrass but the best label for the Good Brothers music is simplier damn good mUSlC For 80 minutes at the Barrie Fair grandstand on Tuesday night the Good Brothers put on the kind of show thats so rare in Barrie that local music fans might want to thank fair manager Don Crowe personally for bringing the band to town The Good Brothers twins Brian and Bruce and younger brother Larry put so much into their show and play so many different types of music so well that its unsettling to realize just how good they real ly are Backed by four excellent musicians including fiddler Don Keys and guitarist Danny McBride the brothers project good times through their music Theyre as professional as any band Ive ever heard yet theyre relaxed enough to establish an easy rapport with the audience Who but Brian Good for ex ample could work in two local references to Stroud and to Orillias Rudy Meeks vn the course 0f one song and then spend five minutes j0king easi ly with the new Miss Barrie Fair Theres comedy in the show but its never forced and it goes beyond the usual patter that most groups dispense to an audience RUNS GAMUT And the music well their music runs the gamut from country to bluegrass to rock sometimes blending all three into one song at other times focussing sharply on one specific style The uptempo tunes like Rainmaker and fulltilt boogie number gave CHAYFM moves to 24 hour format Allnight radio comes to the Barrie area Aug 27 when CHAYFM expands its schedule to 24 hours day We anticipated the demand for continuous operation when the band chance to pull out all the stops and showcase the technical prowess of guitarist Danny McBride For the country fans in the audience the band offered some instrumentals in cluding Duelling Banjos and Foggy Mountain Breakdown played with more flair and en thusiasm that most country groups can muster The rest of the bands set of fered sampling from their three previous albums and two teasers from the Good Brothers new album due out in the fall The title track Some Kind of Women was superb country rocker with lilting Caribbean beat REVELATION For anyone who hadnt heard the band perform live the Tuesday concert was some AMPLE FREE PARKING AIR CONDITIONED thing of revelation Older material like Banjo Boy The Rabbit and Fox On the Run sounded fresh and exciting even cover songs like the pop oriented Kiddie Starr were performed with the kind of spirit that suggested the band gets beginners kick out of playing for live audience Thats deceiving of course the Good Brothers have been around for awhile and all those years on the road have obvious ly paid off Now that the vocal harmonies are as tight and precise as metronome and the instrumental work polished to perfection the Good Brothers are overdue for wide popular success Tuesdays concert at the fair should win them new converts and convince existing fans that Goodgrass is better than ever CINEMAS 7269944 REERESHMENT CENTRE TO SERVE YOU SIR LL MAUI iini MAR IN iHi prvwiii IIM

Deauville to form new Winnipeg group while Ms Fink is returning to her home state of Maryland MUSIC ATTRACTS She says shes attracted by the abundance of live tradi tional music in that part of the United States as well as the stimulating atmosphere of places such as the Smithsonian Institution Its really interesting place to live she says For Ms Fink who plays gui tar banjo and dulcimer Winni peg has the stimulus for creat ive work She says there are couple of local bluegrass musicians she respects but most of the duos new ideas have come from lis tening to records Were my favorite group in town and how often can go and see us she asks The two musicians have been regulars at the Winnipeg Folk Festival since they settled here in 1974 and have produced three albums in that time childrens album with poet Peter Paul van Camp Ms Fink says the album will catch on with parents once theyve listened to it several times The two musicians first met at Montreal coffee house where Donald heard Ms Fink playing the Southern Appala chiandulcimer They soon began playing to gether fulltime and they also organized musicians cooper ative with Ms Fink as the driving force They say the
