's by Rob Savage Life on the road often sounds quite glamorous, allowing allowing an artist, to freely travel from place to place without ever becoming tied down. But for the musician who has serious aspirations of success, it can become quite necessary to settle down at one location and develop roots. That's the approach taken by Kory Livingstone, a singer and piano player who begins a regular performing performing job at T.J.'s Roadhouse tomorrow night. "Having a home base, it gives you time to develop and expand the way you want to," Mr. Livingstone says. "It's like a place where you can pitch camp for a while." He says the artist on the road does "quantum leaps" from job to job and isuncer- Roads Need $75 Million The Ontario Good Roads Association says $75 million million per year over the next five years is "the bare minimum" needed to improve improve Ontario's roads. In a brief sent to Ontario Treasurer Robert Nixon, the OGRA points out that trucking and vehicular use of our roads continues to rise and is over 100 million tonnes per year. They say that "the increased increased size and weight of trucks are taking a terrible toll on most paved roads, leading to early failure and causing congestion in many areas." And they argue that government government subsidies have not kept up with the problem. Instead, the OGRA says roads are deteriorating at "an accelerating and alarming alarming rate" and that municipal municipal governments are being forced to use money which was originally budgeted for new construction. As well, the brief to Mr. Nixon points out that OGRA believes every $1 spent on road improvements leads to an additional $1.50 in the economy "and creates much needed employment, both locally at the job site and in the communities where products used in road projects projects are manufactured." They point to the provincial provincial I government's extra $919), mill,ioji revenue for this:yoar,(atid, say they hope 1 pome.ftfj that-pioney will be r used "to , salvage and pre- , serve the huge investment in Ontario's municipal roads before they deteriorate deteriorate to a point where simple rehabilitation is no longer possible."

But when the artist starts working from a steady base, he can relax "and get on with other things." For Mr. Livingstone, 39, those other things mean launching a successful recording recording career. At the moment, moment, he has an instrumental instrumental single on the charts called "The Poet", which he says is getting air time on about half the radio stations stations across the country. He's currently busy working working on an album tentatively titled "A Man For All Seasons." Seasons." He describes that album as a diverse blend of three to four different musical musical styles, and says it will feature both instrumental and vocal numbers. The diversity on the album will reflect the wide range of musical styles which Mr. Livingstone offers offers in his live shows. Describing the shows that will be performed at T.J.'s, Mr. Livingstone says he will feature contemporary music, middle of the road songs, ballads, older songs and "lots of surprises," with a collection of his own compositions compositions thrown into the works. "You've got to feel out the clientele and see what they like," Mr. Livingstone explains. explains. "I want to get as much variety and entertainment entertainment into the shows as possible." possible." Highlights of the shows will include theme nights, where audience participation participation is encouraged. At the moment, the plans are to include include an amateur night on Thursdays and a '50s and '60s night where guests will be asked to dress approp- 'riately in order to enjoy the nostalgia. He will perform on Thursday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only, something which he says is beneficial to him as an artist. He says he can generate enthusiasm on those nights, rather than "slugging through" continuous continuous performances from Monday to Saturday.
