Antony's, located at 121 Green St., expanded three weeks ago with Club 121 downstairs and a piano bar upstairs, featuring . Tony Michaels, a musician from Pickering.

" And just because the decor and music are better doesn't mean the prices are more expensi .*prices are more expen- sive, " he added. Michaels, 25, was signed by Albis three weeks ago to tinkie the keys upstairs until at least the new year begins. Mfter playing in rock and roll bands through hils youth years, Michaels believes he has found kils niche in Antony's. "If I can't please thousands 0f people with my original material then I would rather sit here and please a room of people with the music, " he said. He acknowledges there is a need for this type of bar in the Whitby area. 1I know there are people in this area who would like to come out and hear nice quiet music r ather than listen to a dise jockey playing taped music. They can hear that at home." Michaels says hi$ aim is to get a good rapport with the audience and play what they want to hear. "Somne nights l'Il get into the middie-of-the- road (MOR) material and then when folks loosen uplMI get into the 1 9S's type of happy rock and roll music,"I he said. "Other nights folks just don't want to be in- terrupted by a loud musician." lHe also differentiated between a piano bar and Antony's upstairs lounge, saying there is dancing at Antony's. Michaels also loves to get requests from members of the audien- ce. lie recalled with a chuekie one incident when a lady asked for Deep Purple. Mistaking her request for the heavy rock band, he told her he didn't know the song but reached a compromise and played "Misty" instead. Michaels performs original material as welI. lie has submitted numerous demo tapes to record company executives and has received "good respon- se" but no record deal as of yet. Some of his favorite originals combine two cultures to resuit in a unique sound. 've taken Latin American rhythms and popified them. The resuit is accessable. " he said. He says he wil keep on pushing his originals until he does land that elusive record contract. Until then, he appears to have found ,a home.
