Bé - The’ Terrace Sender Wecnesday, February 5, 2003 Ave tia Where satire » meets song By JENNIFER LANG TODD BUTLER has made a career out of lampooning the latest political head- lines, Which is why it’s hard not to wonder what Buller, performing this weekend with his trio at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre, will do with the recent Maui escapades of a certain B.C. premier. A frequent satirical voice on CBC Radio One, he’s soon to be featured on upcaming episodes of TV’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He describes his shows as “part stand tp comedy, part musical journey and all fun.” In addition to his trade- mark humour with a social conscience, Butler is also a talented musician who takes the audience through such varied terrain as funk, reggae, rock, R&B, Blues, bluegrass and bal- lads. Sometimes his tunes might seem curiously fa- miliar. Take his song, Gerdon Went Down to Victoria, - which takes its melody from the cheesy ‘70s coun- try crossover hit, The From B4 TODD BUTLER is an accomplished musician in addition to a comedic singer who bring s 20 years of performing experience to the R.E.M. Lee Saturday. Devil Went Down to Geor- gia. Butler also writes origi- nal songs. He’s apparently penned a special song ce- lebrating Kitimat’s 50th anniversary that he'll per- form tomorrow in the Alu- minum City, so who knows what he'll have in store for Terrace Saturday night? Nor does he stick purely to politics. He’s just as likely to pull your heartstrings by singing about love and friendship as he is to zap your funny bone with poin- ted political barbs, He'll be joined at his northwest B.C. concerts, including the Feb. 8 show in Terrace, by Lee Oli- phant on bass and Vince Ditrich on drums. - Reserved seating. Tick- ets at Cook’s Jewellers. ‘We need more manpower’ more manpower,” he said. Although Terrace may not re-enter the provincial or national versions of contest in the immediate future, the benefits of par- ticipating in 2002 will be around for a long time to come. “We've got all these good suggestions and re-. commendations. It made a few of us feel quite proud,” notes Conrad Gan- zenberg, treasurer of the beautification society He said participating in Communities in Bloom helped raise the beautifi-° cation society’s profile,. making it easier to bring other volunteers together to help make the town look its best for the judges. The Communities in Bloom judges pointed out that one of the challenges that ahead for the beautifi- cation society will be re-' cruiting more members to help continue the momen- tum it’s built so far. The judges offered sev- - eral suggestions the socie- ty will explore, including - working with other; ‘groups, ‘particularly youth: -Organi- zations.
