Gone Fishing

By David Farrell

We are ‘gone fishing’ this Monday and won’t be returning to your in-box before Wednesday, September 4. Our plans are varied as summer’s official close comes with the end of the ‘Ex’ and the imminence of kids going back to school. The air is becoming nippy early a.m. and the hours of daylight are shortening, telling us all that fall and winter are fast approaching. Please, we encourage, play it safe, huddle with family, and have a blast this long weekend that also plays before our upcoming federal election.


Cheers: The FYI team

Obituaries: Toronto Guitar Veteran Tony Zorzi, Indie Rock Musician Will Cullen Hart

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Alice Brock, a hippie heroine via her association with the classic Arlo Guthrie song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree."

Tony Zorzi, an in-demand guitarist and teacher on the Toronto music scene, died on Nov. 27, at age 69, after a long battle with cancer. Billboard Canada has been informed that he survived five years after a Stage 4 diagnosis.

The JazzinToronto website noted that Zorzi "was a versatile artist who performed with countless Toronto musicians, worked in shows at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre and the O’Keefe Centre for the Performing Arts, and played with such notables as Vera Lynn, Gene Pitney, Bob Hope, and Quebec recording star Diane Tell."
