But life is a grand adventure - and the road we travel will always take some time. The good news is you can make time. You can also find the time if you try hard enough. We often forget that. Because even though time flies, we can all try to be our own pilot.
This adage is one everyone knows. Noted literary compiler John Trusler included it in his Proverbs Exemplified in 1790 - but other references date it as far back as the 1500s. This phrase has a special place in my heart. Ten years ago (in 2012), the year had started out tragically. There was the death of a pet, a lost opportunity for a dream job, and the roof needed serious, expensive repairs. Then the news turned devastating as a family member announced they were fighting terminal cancer. And all of this during a year we were planning to have our wedding. Time was not on our side. Still, we pulled out all the stops and planned the whole thing in three short weeks. A last-minute cancellation (on a holiday Sunday) allowed us to book our favourite venue on the beach. I skipped the dress shopping, bridal parties and usual wedding rigmarole for something more meaningful and simple. Then the heat wave hit - 38 degrees on the big day. The cake melted. The guests melted. The photos were terrible, and most everything else was ruined. To top it off, the neighbours even called the police because the band was too loud. Still, it was the best wedding ever, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world because the people that meant the most to us were there by our side. Today, some of them are gonebut we treasure every hilarious and disastrous memory and smile.
look at the many graduation photos on Facebook to realize that time goes by fast. Three short years ago, these young people were just barely in their teens. Today they celebrate the closing of one chapter and the start of another as they face adult life with excitement and uncertainty.
Actor Robin Williams made it famous in the movie Dead Poet’s Society. “Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may”, he whispered into the ears of his students. More modern versions could be argued as “Go for it” or Nike’s famous tagline “Just do it”. Overall, it is a reminder to make the most of the present, and to try to live more in the Onemoment.needonly
The same can be said for friends and family who we have struggled to see over the last two years. Ask yourself this - if you only see someone every six months or once a year, how many times do you have left? Will this help you make those moments more meaningful?
We spend most of our lives working hard because ‘time is money, as they say. Then there are family demands, schedules, and making ends meet - it all sucks up more time than we have to give.
Time After Time

Carpe diem (as it is known in Latin) is from the Roman poet Horace.

I’ve always loved this time of year. The flowers are blooming, and the temperatures are rising. There are graduation ceremonies and summer weddings being planned. After a long cold winter, everything seems to come to life again. As we look back at two extremely hard years of Covid lockdowns, this summer seems extra special. So much was lost due to the pandemic. So much was missed. And while no one knows what lies ahead, everyone seems to realize one very important thing - time is Soprecious.here’s a salute to “time” - and the strange times we live in. The funny times and the sad. Those unplanned moments when there was no time - or those lost times when we waited too long. Because when we remember how important time is, we can make the most of the time we have left. “There’s no time like the present.”
Albert Einstein, in defence of physics, said we stubbornly attempt to classify time as the past, the present and the future. In other words, he called time ‘an illusion’. Maybe that’s the secret. Seeking a timeless existence that neither celebrates our age nor pays attention to the clock. Just something to think about - when you’ve got some time.
“How much of human life is lost in waiting!”
Philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) repeats this phrase in his first series of essays in Chapter 7: Prudence. A contemporary of Thoreau, these men wrote words that speak for themselves.
How often have we sat back and waited for the perfect moment? How often does it not come? When is it ever the right time? It’s a question my family asked before immigrating here to Canada. They didn’t have the resources or the security that one usually needs. The practical choice would have been to wait. But they sold everything and took a chance on a country they knew very little about. They were beyond brave and took the bold step to come here knowing no one - and knowing not what might lie ahead. Canada is now our home, and we love it for all that it represents. The frightening choice to come here turned out to be the right one. And while I can’t help but think how different my life would be if we had chosen to wait - I’m still happy we didn’t wait for that perfect moment that might never have been.
“Seize the day!”

CAT: I missed live music so much. So great to have it back. Now, did you take this time away to go and write your new album? Did that give you a chance to focus on that a bit? Is that where the new album ‘Open Road’ comes from?

COLIN: Hi folks, how are you?
- By Catherine (Cat) catbarr@turnernewsmedia.comBarr
COLIN: Well, it’s a lot busier now than it was over the last few years. Like everyone else (and in particular in the music business), we took a pretty mean shot from [the pandemic] industry-wise. So two years without work. And coming back at it again. It’s so overwhelming, but it’s really exciting. We just finished 19 shows with Buddy Guy in the U.S., and wow - that was good. We started in Beverly Hills and then went all the way to New Jersey. And you know, I get the advantage of playing to his audience, which was 2,000 plus a night. And we’ve known each other off and on for 25-30 years now (Buddy and I), so it was just a perfect mix - and a great way to say ‘hello’ back to touring again.
CAT: Welcome everybody back to another podcast episode of West Vancouver Magazine and Turner Magazine (TurnerMagazine.com). Now we get a lot of exciting people on the mic, but this one is huge. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am. He is a Canadian legend. A singer/songwriter. Nineteen times nominated and eight times Juno award winner. He plays a rock blues guitar that absolutely brings down the house. And now, after taking home his latest award in 2022 for Blues Album of the Year, his popularity is exploding everywhere all over again. His new single is called ‘Down On the Bottom’- but clearly, he is coming back out on top with a new North American summer tour. Everybody, please welcome the incredible Colin James.

CAT: So speaking of love, care, and attention - you pulled out a guitar the other night, and the crowd went wild. It was a baby blue guitar. Is that your baby? Tell us a little bit about your guitar collection. Do you have a favourite? Do you have a coveted one that you just kind of put on the wall as artwork and nobody gets to touch it. Are you a guitar
CAT: Ha ha. So we got him to pick a favourite. (laughing). So you’ve raised a family in the midst of this career. You’re a dad - and you don’t have a typical nine-tofive job. And your kids are more grown-up now. Do they understand what dad does for a living? How do you balance the whole ‘dad’s a music star’ explanation? Tell us.
COLIN: A lot of it is different- and a lot of it’s just the same. When I started (growing up in Regina, Saskatchewan), I thought I’d probably never get out. And then slowly, you know, you start building, you start building a story. But I’m still having to prove myself in the United States. I was signed to an American label in my younger days. I got a lot of advantages touring back then with Keith Richards and Steve Winwood. But the fact is, America is massive. There are TurnerMagazine.com | WestVancouver.com | NorthVancouver.com - 13
as many people in California as in Canada. So, you know, it just takes a lot. And that’s why a lot of people don’t do it. Because not only does it take time, but it takes money.
COLIN: You know, award shows are a strange thing because it pits artists against artists - and it tries to objectively pick, which is a very difficult thing to do. For me, it was 20 years of a drought. Really, at the end of the day, if you were seeking out a life of this, then it’s a great life. I’m just really pleased I can still make records. I could still do what I love and that ultimately is the best.
COLIN: They’ve been raised on all of that, you know. My son was born on Canada Day, and my daughter the day before. They’re a day apart. So for most of their life, I have to fly off on Canada Day and go play somewhere. So I’ve often missed my son’s birthday - which I am again this year (I’m flying on Canada Day). So it’s just the way it’s been all along. But my kids are older now. My son’s just graduated from business - and my daughter is doing great and engaged to be married.
CAT: So do you have a favourite guitar that you play? Is it based on the song, or is there a tone that you like for certain songs?
COLIN:lover?Theguitar I put on the wall is signed by a ton of people - like Albert Collins, Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Pops Staples. That one stays on the wall. That other guitar I used the other night was one of my only really truly vintage Fender Strats. It’s a ‘63, so it’s very rare - and I don’t ever take it on the road.
COLIN: Well, yes. I mean, I put out a record every two years. That’s kind of what I tried to do. I think this is the first time it took a little more than that because of Covid. We couldn’t just get together as a band when we wanted to. I did three separate sessions for this record. The first was right before Covid hit. We had just finished a tour down the west coast of the states, and we stopped in San Francisco. That’s when we heard the news that we had to get home. Wow. And then I had to call another session. I couldn’t access my band (because we’re from all over Canada). So I use some old mates of mine from here - great players like Simon Kendal and Norm Fisher (who played with Bryan Adams until recently). But anyway, we got to do three sessions and pick the best of them. So it was like any other record, except my producer lived in England. So we had a time change difference. I started at 11 o’clock my time, and it was eight o’clock at night his time. But technology allowed us to do all the things we needed to do to make it sound good. The only thing was not working side by side with somebody. And that was CAT:different.Sowinning a Juno. This is not new to you, as you’ve taken home lots of Junos in the past. It started with songs like ‘Five Long Years’ and ‘Voodoo Thing’. Then a big hit with ‘Just Came Back’ in the late 90s. Then a bit of a break. And now again in 2022. You’ve got longevity, and your music stands the test of time. So is this Juno extraspecial in any way?
So for me, although I’m known in the blues world (and my name is starting to be more known south of the border), I still gotta go out there like I did when I was a kid and turn on a new audience. So I think that was really healthy with this latest tour we did - because I hadn’t played Beverly Hills since I opened up with Keith Richards 19 years ago.
COLIN: I find Strats (Stratocasters) are good for some things. Les Pauls are good for others. They all have their thing.
CAT: Wow. Congratulations! So young people these days, they always look at you famous folks and say ‘Oh man, I want to be a Colin James’. How did you do it? Give some young people out there some advice. What would you tell them? What’s the key to success? Tell us your secrets. Continued on next page . . .
CAT: So I always ask this question when I talk to a musician. The crowd wants to hear the hits - so you have to play them over and over again every year. That’s the problem with a hit song - you can never get away from it. How do you feel about it? Are you still in love with your hits? Do you still love playing COLIN:them?Youknow, it just depends on what you’re doing. I’ve been lucky enough to be with The Little Big Band where I could let that stuff go for a while. I’ve been lucky enough to play the acoustic blues thing where I could let that go. So people understand when they saw The Little Big Band, but they weren’t gonna hear ‘Just Came Back’. And that was cool. That was awesome. Because you don’t want to rip people off and say, ‘I’m not gonna play my hits’. On the other hand, you don’t want to play music to people that you’re so sick of that you can’t even put any love in it. You also have to leave it to the fact that if they’re not playing it, there’s probably a reason. You know what I mean? (laughing)
CAT: You’ve played with some big names. You’ve played before the Queen. Do you feel like you’ve kind of done it all now? Tell us how it felt when you started versus now?
CAT: So if you could only pick one - say, to take to a desert island, what would you pick?
COLIN: A Strat. (laughing)
COLIN: Do not do what I did - because it was a leap of faith. I truly believe, and I think that if you really want to do this, you have to kind of give up normality when it comes to expectations. Like it’s probably not going to be a university life. It’s probably not going to be about getting a degree in college. It’s not going to be those things. It’s going to be realizing that you want to do it so bad that nothing’s gonna stop you. In my case, it meant quitting school, leaving home at 16 and a whole bunch of things. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to everybody. I’d play for quarters on the subways and in front of liquor stores. I played in front of every liquor board store in Vancouver. When I moved out here, I had absolutely nothing. I had a horrible little place full of cockroaches and stuff in Ontario. And I used to play at Granville Island market at noon hour. I’d do all of that. And that’s why I was, you know, tipping my hat to Jim Byrnes the other day - because when I moved here, he used to go down to Mama Golds in Kitsilano and him and guys would let me sit in when I had just moved here. I literally had quarters in my pocket. So me and Jim have a long, long time friendship for the kindness he showed me.
Growing up, I got exposed to like, I think I saw Bruce Coburn when I was eight and Terry Brown and all kinds of things and I loved it. And honestly, until I was about 16, I wasn’t really ready to dedicate myself yet. I started a band when I was 13. I
CAT:doing.Wow, that’s amazing. Well, you say you grew up in a small town, but the world couldn’t be bigger for you right now. Tell us about your upcoming tour.
COLIN: You bet. The pleasure is mine and I can’t wait to see everyone at the show here in CAT:Vancouver.Excellent! Nanaimo, Victoria, for everybody listening from afar. There’s also Kelowna and Calgary on the schedule. Do not be afraid to look it up onlineColinJames.com - and until then, everybody, please remember to stay in touch, and save me a smile.

CAT: Yeah you’re everywhere. You’re going to go hit New York. You’re going to Boston and Chicago. Then you’re going to end up over in Denver. And then back up here to us in September. Everybody is going to have to go online fast. These tickets are not going to last for Vancouver on September 30th.
“I started a band when I was 13. I played a lot of fiddle tunes and Celtic music. But when I heard the blues, I just think something shifted in me, and I just knew. I just knew it was for me. So when other people were playing in cover bands, I kind of set myself apart. ” played a lot of fiddle tunes and Celtic music. But when I heard the blues, I just think something shifted in me, and I just knew. I just knew it was for me. So when other people were playing in cover bands, I kind of set myself apart. It wasn’t the best for maybe getting as much work. But one night, John Lee Hooker came to my hometown when I was 16. I got the gig to open up the show. Then George Stewart came, and I got the gig. So, you know, it kind of helped growing up in a small place where there weren’t a lot of people doing what I was
COLIN: We’ve got a kind of series of shows. It’s like three weeks of shows - half in Canada and half in the States.
CAT: Jim Byrnes is an incredible blues icon who we’ve adopted here in Vancouver as well. We’re so lucky to have you both. But back to the blues. Was it something you grew up with? Why did you choose the COLIN:blues?
O P E N R O A D
So last question to you. Where is Colin James going to be in five years time.
CAT: Well the world is not enough. Colin James - it’s been an absolute delight having you on the mic today and we can’t wait to see you on tour. I can’t thank you enough for being with us here today. Will you come back and talk to us again sometime soon?
COLIN: Making records! Doing what I’m doing right now - and maybe doing it in more places. (laughing)

ODD SQUAD 25TH ANNIVERSARY GALA
Social Seen
We sat and watched as the cameras started to roll back in 1997. Founding members Toby Hinton, Walt McKay, Dave Kolb, Dale Weidman, Al Arsenault, Mark Steinkampf and Len Hollingsworth set their badges aside, packed up their cameras and ventured into the dark side. Unspeakable scenes of forgotten souls lost on the downtown east side of Vancouver began to emerge. A place most of us avoid, these men in blue brought us reality film that could no longer be denied. Now, on the 25th anniversary of this ground-breaking production, young lives that were once addled with addiction and mental illness have a fighting chance. With a motto of “it is better to prevent than heal”, the group continues to deliver powerful yet positive messages to today’s youth that includes social media videos, peer-to-peer engagement, a police Judo program and physical literacy. Now is the time to not just tell the story - but to change the storyline. Congrats to all involved. For further info please visit: oddsquad.com

CAT: Welcome to another episode of our West Vancouver Podcast / Turner Magazine (turnermagazine.com). They say some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. Well, never was there ever a greater man thrust into the Vancouver spotlight than the founder of Bard on the Beach. We are speaking, of course, about the magnificent Christopher Gaze Christopher - welcome to the CHRISTOPHER:show. What an introduction. My goodness. Thank you very much.
CAT: So this summer marks the return of one of my favourite events in VancouverBard on the Beach. Of course, this is your baby. You invented it. You found it. You direct it. You’ve starred in it. There is so much to talk about. So do tell us - what are we in store for this year with the return of CHRISTOPHER:Bard? Well, we are going to begin the season with Midsummer Night’s Dream This play is a perennial favourite of mine, with a massive history of it throughout my life. In about ‘69, I went on a tour of Belgium, Holland and Germany with the National Youth Theatre. I was an actor in Midsummer Night’s Dream. So that was the first time I did it. And then, of course, many other times since. It’s a wonderful show,
CHRISTOPHER: Well, I’m writing a book about all this at the moment. And it will be published probably in about a year. But simple, quick answer. As you say, I’m from a village in Surrey, near Guildford in England, and I went to boarding school for all those 10 years. But whilst I was at boarding school, I was very single-focused. I think it was the influence of my parents. They were great amateur actors. I saw the magic of all this - and I had a flair for it. And so it was through boarding school. Many of the British boys boarding schools were sort of like Harry Potter. We didn’t have the magic and all that kind of thing, but nevertheless, I was very, very driven. I just wanted to act. When I finally was able to leave school. I went straight to the Bristol Old Vic. Then I played for a couple of years up north and met a man called Douglas Campbell, who was a huge influence on my life. And Douglas was the one that said, ‘Hey, go to Canada. You’ll love it there. It’s a remarkable country’. So during the late 70s and 80s, I was part of two different tented Shakespeare festivals one in Edmonton and another one here in Vancouver. And I saw how successful they could be. Neither of them lasted longer than for celebration for magic for romance - and it’s filled with fairies and giddiness, and the poetry is sensational. So we’re going to play that all season on the big BMO main stage.
Christopher Gaze
He had a dream - to come to Canada and create something magical. And even though he had to start at the ‘Bottom’, today Bard on the Beach founder and artistic director Christopher Gaze has seen his vision come to life. Now, as we shake off two years of discontent, a glorious summer awaits thanks to this king of players who has dedicated his life to the pageantry and poetry of the immortal William Shakespeare.

CAT: So that’s on the main stage, but you have two or three others as well, right? CHRISTOPHER: We do. The other production is called Harlem Duet, which runs for the first [few] weeks. Then that will be followed by Romeo and Juliet until the end of the season. So it’s a nice comprehensive season that has everything in CAT:it. I just get too excited. I don’t even know where to start - because this kind of starts with you. But tell us, where did Christopher Gaze start? Walk us through a little bit of how it all came to be?

CAT: So just to slow it down in case people think we’re losing our minds. Men played the women characters. But the women characters often then dress as men [in the plays] so as not to be recognized. And all of this is during the Elizabethan time, with one of the most powerful women on the throne. If ever there was an examination of the role of the sexes over the ages, one can make a pretty good argument here. Now, what is the hardest part about putting on Bard? What’s the best part?
Well, I played some good ones. But it’s all a while ago now. These days, casting would be different. A lot has shifted in the world, as we all know. I loved playing Shylock in the Merchant of Venice I thought that was just astonishing insight and a magnificent role. Very wonderful to be able to play. I loved playing Richard III - a really, really bad person. It was just such fun to play. But my true favourites are actually in Midsummer Night’s Dream I love playing Puck. I’ve done that a couple of times. And then I played Bottom a couple of times, and he’s just a wonderful character.
CAT: Christopher, thank you so much for being with us here today. And thank you everybody else for listening. Will you come back and visit us
CHRISTOPHER:plays. Yeah, it is extraordinary. How [Shakespeare] had that insight to be able to write these characters, even though played by men. Like Rosalind in As You Like It. An exquisite woman, who dresses as a man, to teach Orlando how to love a woman, or what a woman really needs from a man (in this case, it was what she needed). And so beautiful and so exacting - so loving and gentle and kind, and strong.
two years. But I watched and saw what I felt were the strengths and the weaknesses. And I decided in 1989 to step up and do it myself, and just try to with all my might, to make sure it somehow sustained itself. We started with a $35,000 budget back in 1990. We’re 33 years in now - and it’s a $9 million budget. So it’s very different. We employ hundreds of people, and it’s a kind of a permanent sort of ‘go to’ event in the city CAT:now.You have played obviously many roles. Tell us some of your favourite CHRISTOPHER:characters.
CHRISTOPHER:again?Anytime? It’s a great pleasure to talk to you. You’re great enthusiasts.

CHRISTOPHER: I think the hardest part is building the site. I don’t have to do it, but a lot of other brilliant people do. So they’ve been building - and we haven’t had an easy spring. But anyway, it’s all getting done. It’s work. It’s what we do. And it’s exciting - trying to stay ahead of everything. We keep expenses where they should be with rising costs, bringing actors, directors, and designers back into the theatre. Also, engaging with an audience and saying, ‘Hey, I know you haven’t been at the theatre for nearly three years’. But we have a full season and just making people feel confident that we’ll do it well. [The shows] will be as great as they always were, if not better.
So for pure joy and giving people really, really what they want - I love playing those characters in Midsummer Night’s Dream CAT: Shakespeare has, as you said, the characters, the language, the situations. They’re from the outrageous to the hilarious to the tragic. For 400 years now, he has aged very well. Now we are in a new era. We are in a ‘woke’ era. We are in a ‘me too’ era. So, Shakespeare - we’re going to defend him a little bit. I’m not sure how many people listening today know this, but women were not allowed on the stage in the Elizabethan era. Any female character was played by typically a young male at that time. So women were not part of the theatre in his day. But Shakespeare wrote strong female characters that endured. Talk a little bit about the women’s roles in Shakespearean

The Kay Meek Arts Centre is a place for excellence in West Vancouver. Home to many outstanding live performances, it has been two years since the centre has been able to celebrate. The Sneakers Ball was a chance to change that as guests donned their dancing shoes and took to the floor for a night of fun and fundraising. Fabulous food and exciting auction prizes helped get everyone into the swing of things again as money raised will go towards new streaming equipment and more.

Summer Time and Summer Tunes
JERICHO BEACH PARK Did you know that Jericho wasn’t where Vancouver folks originally got folked? It was Brockton Point in Stanley Park where they gathered in the rain from Aug. 11-13 in 1978.
After the Whitecaps lost 1-0 to the Montreal Manic, the Beach Boys serenaded the 56,000-strong crowd. The longest running band in rock history, with four of six members related, was shuttled to the stage in convertible Corvettes. Burton Cummings even made a cameo appearance.
Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, two of Winnipeg’s greatest musical exports are together again and will play Guess Who, BTO and solo classics. Some 39 summers ago, the Guess Who reunited to play the first concert at an indoor stadium in Canada on June 23, 1983.
The Lions’ dome opener was billed as “the entertainment event of ’83.” The original Guess Who took care of business and kicked off the evening with an hour-long set.
Everything old is new again. Some of the biggest gigs of the summer of 2022 recall another of Yogi Berra’s immortal words: ‘Deja vu all over again’.
PNE AMPHITHEATRE
Sixty years of the sounds of summer. And several songs about surfing. Super! Not all the boys were part of the boys 60 years ago. Mike Love and Bruce Johnston are links to the past. Brian Wilson and Al Jardine won’t be there, like they were on July 20,1983 when they played the first post-game concert at B.C. Place.
For its 2022 comeback, an eclectic mix of headliners, from Alejandro Escovedo to the New Pornographers. But it wouldn’t be complete without a link to Woodstock, would it? This year’s throwback to muddy Max Yasgur’s farm is the just-turned-80 Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr., who is better-known as blues/ jazzman Taj Mahal.
Just because it’s summer, doesn’t mean you can’t think of wintertime pursuits. A group pursuing the 2030 Winter Olympics for Vancouver proposes building a temporary ramp at Hastings Racecourse for the new events of big air skiing and snowboarding. That would be a hop, skip and a jump down Miller Road from Empire Stadium where a giant ramp was built for the May 1958 Centennial Ski Jumping Tournament. Thirtyone skiers from around the world competed, jumping from the north parking lot into the stadium originally built for the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954. Flying Finn Johani Karkinen was the winner.

02 VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES: AUG. 25 PNE AMPHITHEATRE
It was Aug. 22, 1964 at Empire Stadium that the Fab Four made their only Vancouver appearance. “First time in Canada,” screamed the poster. The bill included The Righteous Bros., The Exciters, Jackie Deshannon and the Bill Black Combo. Tickets $5.25. More than 20,000 fans showed up for the night of rock and roll history on the first day of that year’s PNE fair. It was so historic, that it was aired live on TheCKNW.58thanniversary of Beatlemania in Vancouver features the Otto Tausk-led VSO and mop top impersonators Classical Mystery Tour. which was battered by the king tide/windstorm combo on Jan. 7 of this year.

The second annual Classic and Contemporary Car Invitational shifted into high gear last month at Ambleside beach with a display that rivals the best in the world.
