6 -- The Oakville Journal Record, Friday, July 17, 1981 Notices 635 Births McNUTT -- Lawrence and Daphne, joyously announce the birth of their daughter Heather, 8 pounds, lOVfc ounces, on July 14th at McMaster University Hospital. First grandchild for Mr. and Mrs. Elwood McNutt and second for Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mainwaring Draycott, all of Oakville. SPROULE, Barry and 'April (nee Arthurs) are pleased to an nounce the birth of their first child, a son, Blake Adam, born July 10th, 1981 at 5:05 p.m., weighing 5 lbs., 2 ozs. at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Proud grandparents are Jim and Helen Arthurs of Oakville and Bob and Gwen Sproule of Waterdown. Special thanks to Dr. O'Brien and maternity staff. Romantic lyrics offset depressing subjects On the record by Gary Schlee The Fox -- Elton John (Geffen/WEA) Elton has left long-time distributor, MCA Records, to join David Geffen's new label, which was launched with John Lennon's last album. But the shift is contrac tual, not philosophical. The Fox is a continuation of the fine balance of songs that helped Elton re-establish part of his lost grandeur last year on 21 At 33. Once again, lyricist Bernie Taupin co-writes a handful of songs, as does Gary Osborne; and there's another collaboration with Tom Robinson. Taupin's subjects continue to dwell on depressing subjects, a tendency that Elton has been able to offset with the more romantic lyrics of Gary Osborne. It was the John/Osborne connection that gave us Little Jeannie last year; and a new ballad, Chloe, is equally endearing. More penetrating than any of Taupin's fatalism, is E lton's Song, a personal ballad of homosexual love and frustration, penned by Elton and Tom Robinson. The album also marks a return to some instrumental tracks. They're pleasing, but somewhat out of place. 655 Deaths MACLEOD, Margaret At Extendicare on Thursday; July 16, 1981.

Mummy Dust -- Bruce Cockburn (True North/CBS) If your appreciation of Bruce Cockburn began with Wondering Where the Lions Are, you've missed brilliant performances that began 10 years earlier. Mummy Dust solves the problem. Some of the best moments from his first nine albums are brought together, but the collection sadly doesn't include any of his dexterous guitar instrumen tals. The album should also be irresistible to long-time fans, because it includes three new tracks -- one of them being his current single, TheX oldest Night Of The Year. F or me, the finest addition is the studio ver sion of Red Brother Red Sister (my favorite Cockburn song) which finally appears on vinyl after a six-year delay. OJR Special Elton John's shift from MCA Records to David Geffen's new label is contractual, not philosophical. The Fox marks a return to some instrumental tracks century's sounds. The sequence moves from Janis Joplin to The Mamas & Papas, from Jim i Hendrix to Dave Brubeck, from Sam Cooke to Fabian. I t's the kind of package you might expect from KTEL on a bender. which, though pleasing, are somewhat out of place, ac cording to OJR Record Columnist Gary Schlee. her contributions .combine well with Thomas's wailing. She may very well return to the Jefferson fold. Reach Up And Touch The Sky (Live) -- Southside Johnny & Asbury Jukes Mercury/Polygram In spite of being overshadowed by his illustrious New Jersey colleague Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Lyon has built up an impressive following playing the same brand of enthusiastic rock. Southside and his Asbury Jukes are at their best in concert, which is why this two-record release is the definitive example of the hard-working band's abilities. In addition to the crowd pleasers (I Don't Want To Go Home; Talk To Me; Why Is Love Such A Sacrifice), the group devotes a good deal of sound space to early rock influences like Sam Cooke, Chuck Berry, and Lloyd Price. Radio Active -- Pat Travers (Polydor) When guitarist P at Thrall left the P at Travers Band, Travers abandoned his growing preoccupation with keyboards and flung himself back into his real strength: rock and roll guitar. The rejuvenation shows on Radio Active. Travers's bending guitar strings and bluesy vocals make the Ottawa rocker's seventh album sizzle. Sandy Gennaro has replaced Tommy Aldridge on drums, and ex-Santana percussionist Mike Schrieve sits in on some songs. Modern Times -- Jefferson Starship (Grunt/RCA) Since the genesis of Jefferson Airplane in 1965, Paul Kantner has continually served as the quiet, almost nominal, leader of the band through changes in name and in personnel. It's easy to lose sight of Kantner's role behind the current brand of high-pulse rock turned out by the strongest Jefferson congregation yet. However, Kantner songs like Modern Times and Stairway To Cleveland are strong reminders of the Jefferson Airplane counter-culture harmonies of the late 1960s. The writing power for the Starship of the 80s rests with Pete Sears (on bass and keyboards) and Jeanette Sears. Their songs highlight the individual talents of the Starship members, while K antner's songs tend to build a blurry wall of breathless sound. The balance between the two styles is achieved by guitarist Craig Chaquico, whose songwriting has a strong commercial appeal -- as evidenced by Find Your Way Back. The vocals of Mickey Thomas have been powerful enough on the last two albums to make Starship buffs forget about Grace Slick and Marty Balin, who left several years ago to pursue solo careers. Slick does turn up on Modem Times as the background vocalist, and American Pop (MCA) The soundtrack of Ralph Bakshi's latest animated fantasy film is a startling collection of the last quarter East Side Story -- Squeeze (A&M) Elvis Costello takes a hand in producing this recording, and he hasn't done Squeeze any favors. Following the deserved success of their witty, jabbing Argy Bargy release, Squeeze use the sequel as an op portunity to expand into other musical areas, including soul (Tempted), country (Labelled With Love), pop (Vanity Fair), and Presley-style rock'n'roll (Messed Around). The best moments are still the pokes at society, seen through the eyes of Squeeze songwriters Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. Paul Carrack has replaced Jools Holland on keyboards, and gives the band a more relaxed pace. PICK UP THIS DELUXE PENATEN PACK P W & T E M 8 } First Church of CHRIST, SCIENTIST 1111 Lakeshore Rd. E.

Fun In Space might have been called Fun In The Studio. Queen's drummer, Roger Taylor, gets to play all the instruments, sing the vocals, write the songs, arrange them and produce them. Although Taylor's individual effort will likely in terest only Queen fans, don't expect Queen's sound. Roger has opted for more spatial effects and a nice touch of lunacy. The album graphics are the most memorable part of the package. The Oakville 8:15 P.M.
