HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA -- when is the last time that an audience at the Gravenhurst Opera House sang the theme for the Happy Gang? It happened Saturday night, September 2nd, when Jack Hutton and Friends played an entire evening of forgotten Canadian songs to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canada. The program ranged all the way from When You And I Were Young, Maggie (1866) to Moe Koffman's Swingin' Shepherd Blues and Bobby Gimby's CA-NA-DA which became the toe-tapping anthem for Canada's 100th birthday in 1967. It was a night of miracles because the musicians (Brian Bauer on clarinet, soprano sax and tenor tax, Bob Livingston, trombone, Will Wilson, guitar and banjo, Ric Giorgi, string bass, and Jack Hutton, piano) were playing many tunes for the very first time with the briefest of rehearsals. But it all came together, thanks to an audience that started applauding before they had played a note.
