Town Hall patrons wowed by this twosome Ever get the urge to fall in love? Town Hall 1873 patrons certainly did as they were wooed and wow- ed by the captivating duo of War- BEST AVAILABLE COPY 28 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 12, 1988 rack (David) and Gaborek (Ed- da) in Saturday night's concert series opener. Loosely structured around the theme of love and all it's foibles and fantasies, this sophisticated cabaret act enchanted the au- dience with everything from Donation to the Food Drive The Operation Scugog Thanksgiving Food Drive was a great success, ac- cording to co-ordinator Ann Wanninkhof and chairperson Penny Reid. And the Week Food Drive. Food Drive was assisted very nicely by a generous cash donation of $525 from Paul Papanikolopoulis, owner of the Donut Press at 20 Water St. Port Perry. Paul sald he decided to donate cash because the fresh donuts he serves daily at his shop don't stay fresh long enough to help the Food Drive which collects non-perishable food items from distribution in Scugog Township. And Paul said he plans to make a similar cash donation again nextyear during the Thanksgiving WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO'S AHEAD... _..WHO'S IN? WHO'S OUT? FIND OUT NOW! SELY 210 .'} Keeping Central Ontario Informed! highly original satiric composi- tions by Warrack to nostalgic favourites such as 'Love Walked Right In', 'Old Fashioned Walk', 'Just in Time', and Stephen Son- dheim tongue-twisters ('The Boy From'). Go ahead; just try to bet- ter Edda's plaintive lament to her "boy from Taka Remba la Tom- ba Del Fuego Santa Malipa Salles Tegas Lo On To Del Sol Y Cruz" (he moved to Wales, anyway). After an energetic "It's a Beginning"', David on piano, Ed- da vocalizing along on her stool, the full house was musically in- formed that "No one play tennis in Timmins" -- maybe that's why David (who 'loves to score') ask- ed if Port Perry had great courts. (He was so impressed with the lit- tle town on Lake Scugog (Lake what???) he may investigate it further; Edda claims Niagara-on- the-Lake as home, a twin town). David's and Edda's talents were later severly tested when, assisted by some wags in the au- dience, the pair built an original song, from scratch. The unlikely result may never make the charts, but who could resist Reg- gae Blues entitled '"The Scugog Tennis Prayer", pounded out in a weird resolution of a sharp, C, D, and B flat notes! Versatile perfor- ming indeed --- and David nearly blew a vocal chord on the way to his later show-stopping number "Why Do They Always Put the Hymns So Hight?"' ("It's going to make an Atheist out of me!"') Match that number with the couple's paean to the "Buffalow News" (Nothing gets me down so low as the news from Buffalow; Iseered and I get blue") and one is well aware this pair has pro- digious talent in raising everyday life to sophisticated satire. Who else, for Phisticefi would dare to stitch their show together with assorted renditions, country- western style, of "It's not the Same Any More'? And voice an ode to frozen sperm ("babies with an ice cube for a dad"), to "skin specialists" needed at the Kingston Pen, or even to "Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie North -- a good old American boy!"' Brisk patter; wonderful articulation. Decidedly, Warrak and Gaborek are Two in Tune" with each other. They can also per- form the tender and wistful ("Who's Sorry Now?"') as well as the suggestive and caustic ("Do It To Me!")(a singles bar blueprint for action). Versatile, witty, irreverent, and original -- a "razzle-dazzles' duo, David and Edda garnered two curtain calls and left their audience ap- plauding in high spirits. Things may not be the "same any more"' after an evening with W and G -- but ain't that just grrrrand! _ Town Hall Program Committee chairperson Pat Smith was hap- py to welcome both returning and new patrons to the Hall's 13th season.
