Little
Bobby and The Jumpstarts - had them dancing in the aisles at Boomerz
on Feb.12 '00. This Toronto band has been together just over two years and it
was thier first time in town. The crowds loved them. A quick tour of the clubs
showed a slow night for most but Boomerz had a full house. Little Bobbie brought
along his case of harps and "blew" the crowd away. Gary Kendall (bass for Downchild)
joined them for the night. For

Downchild
Blues Band
Donnie
Walsh named his band from a song by blues singer,
songwriter and harmonica player Sonny Boy Williamson;
his other early heroes included Elmore James and
Muddy Waters. More than twenty five years later,
Walsh remains one of the most enthusiastic musicians
to be found anywhere - on the rare occasions when
he's not fronting a Downchild gig, he can be found
sitting in with friends - and he has 'em in dozens
of towns and cities in Canada and the United States.
