When Gord Barnes says he has "The "Blues," he doesn't mean it in the sense of being depressed about those long winter months that stand in the way of springtime. His version of "The "Blues" is musical, and preferably preferably being played live, on stage, in front of a roomful of appreciative appreciative listeners. That's exactly what happened happened recently when Barnes, with band member Gary Adams, spent a Friday and Saturday night playing their music at the Orono Town Hall. The evenings, entitled "Beat the Winter Blahs," were part of a live recording that the Barney-Adams Blues Band will use on a CD as a promotional tool. "We picked Orono because the people there have been consistently consistently supportive of our band," said Barnes, who has played together with Adams for the past 25 years. It wasn't until just over four years ago that the childhood friends formed the Barney-Adams Blues Band. While the group interchanges other band members, their popularity popularity continues to grow. Last year, the band played over 60 dates. <*T Afvir-jf ,t<: --r-J Pi>xvr r C. ir^jLMZk-. BOWMANVILLE MWV - 2 -r,s* - <•,*,»/ O'JOH NEW PRICING POLICY CHllD. YOUTH V & UNDER SINIOI.

This crowd (in Orono) was up dancing during the first song, and continued dancing every song," added the Bowmanville resident. Upcoming dates that the band will be appearing at include the Fat Cat Blues Festival at Durham College in March, and possibly the giant Blues Festival that is held over a three-day period in Orillia during April. "We are always asked for a sample of our music, so recording recording the CD will be a way to meet that demand," says Barnes. Over the course of the two nights, 16 tracks were recorded, though Barnes is uncertain how many of the songs will be used on the demo. After spending some time in the studio for fine-tuning, the CD should be ready this summer. However, the band isn't committed committed to a time-frame. In addition to Barnes (harmonica) (harmonica) and Adams (lead guitar and vocals), for the live recording, recording, the band was joined on stage by Alex Paris (bass), Nelson Poirier (drums), and Terry Blanklcy (keyboard). Barnes also was quick to acknowledge the help of John Thompson and Eric Drcslinski of Apogee Productions, of Orono, for their assistance. With the current popularity of swing dancing, the blues style of music has enjoyed an enormous resurgence. The musical appeal serves a wide range of age groups from 18- 80, says Barnes. "Blues can be a slow dance, it can be upbeat, or it can have a flat-out rock 'n roll edge to it," said Barnes, whose band emulates emulates songs from such respected blues musicians as B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Colin James. "The reason we play isn't for the money," continued Barnes, "it's for the sheer fun and enjoyment of the blues and the energy we feel on stage from the people. "We have a lot of fun, and the crowd has fun. As long as that combination remains, we will continue to play." The band has its own website, website, which can be viewed at listen.to/barneyadams. listen.to/barneyadams. Resource Centre behind Oshawa City Hall Complex. Tempting Faith focuses on Michael, a man who recognizes his paranormal abilities abilities but is reluctant to listen to the voices he hears.
