The Oakville Beaver official media sponsor o f The Oakville Centre (Continued from page B4) she says, adding that she would also like to paint more pictures of horses, one of her favourite subjects, and to do more abstracts. "Abstract to the extent that you still know what the subject matter is...And horses - 1 like the movement of horses." Girgla's paintings can be found in private collections in the Canada, the United States and India. The opening reception for Echoes from Nature will take place in the OAS gallery at 560 Bronte Rd. on Sunday, Sept. 12th from 1 to 5 p.m. Gallery hours are Mondays to Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and Satur­ days from 11 to 4 p.m. Everything in the exhibit will be for sale with prices ranging from $200 to $1,200. "It's very difficult to price your art. Every piece you do, you are putting yourself into it. To me they are all priceless," says Girgla. "But I want to make them affordable so people will take them home, and appreciate and enjoy them. I don't want to price them so people can't afford them."

Children's m usic next on agenda (Continued from page B4) Toronto Musicians Association saw what I was doing with the kids, and he left a card with the stage manager. And I gave him a call," Griffiths explains. "He said, 'I really enjoyed the show, especially the kids part. Would you consider doing some shows with children's music. There's quite a mar­ ket for it.' I love playing for kids; they get right into it," says the father of two, adding that he definitely plans on pur­ suing that avenue further. As for the members of Mayberry - Griffiths on rhythmic guitar, Dave Tomchak (Opey) on drums, Ciaran O'Connor (Barny) on bass, and , Dominic Reidemann (Floyd) on lead guitar and "stage jumping" - they are still enjoying some vacation time before they return to the studio for some serious work on their first CD of II original songs. (All the band mem­ bers do vocals.) "Right now the band is on a hiatus of sorts. After we did the festivals, all of us had various summer holidays. We'll probably regroup in another month or so," says Griffiths, adding that the band has already cut a five- song demo CD in his home studio. "I would like to have the (full-length) CD wrapped up within a year. It's an expensive proposition to do it proper­ ly... We are doing it in a professional studio." By day, Griffiths is an architectural technologist who likes to moonlight in his studio or at outdoor festivals in the good weather. But once the outdoor stages have closed for the season, Grif­ fiths tends to follow suit, saving live gigs for next year's festivals and con­ centrating on studio work and, this year perhaps, a new venture into the world of children's entertainment. "I have actually written a few chil­ dren's tunes and started recording them in my studio. I would like to fin­ ish maybe 10 songs...see where it goes," he says. "You don't make a lot of money in the kids field, I wouldn't think; but it's fun." For more information or to book Mayberry, call Griffiths at 332-5862 or e-mail him at griff@idirect.com.
