Paradise Community Center Presents
Love ? by TIME TO PLAY
Brought back by
demand this coming February 13th and 14th
, the Paradise Community Center will present TIME TO PLAY, in a new
concert titled, Love ? “Selections from the groups growing repertoire will focus on
both traditional and more colourful dimensions of love and romance themes
exploring love’s other colors and obsessions; courting, seduction, love gone
badly, and so on”.
Inspired
by the musical vitality of Mexico, TIME TO PLAY’s founding members, Garry
Carson (guitar), Mary (violin) and Don MacLachlan (bass), decided to rekindle an
aspect of their lives long put aside for professional careers, and adding the
talents of Lois Rogers (vocals and keyboard), Joy Lehman (vocals), along with
guest musician Enrique Jimenez (drums) brought forth TIME TO PLAY to the
burgeoning Vallarta musical scene.
Garry Carson grew up
in a musical Irish family surrounded by instruments and performers. During his teens and twenties he played as a
soloist and sang with numerous musical groups prominent in the western Canadian
club and television scene. In 1969 he played with “The Lovin’ Sound”, a vocal
group he started with Don, and hosted a National Canadian CBC television
series, “Welcome to Our World”.
Don MacLachlan, after graduating high school bought a string
bass on a whim… three days later he was on stage with a 'garage band' folk
group, eventually, forming his own group - 'The Lovin' Sound', the start of a
long association with pop and folk music.
Mary MacLachlan received
her degree in Music Education from the University of Alberta, taught
instrumental music and performed for years with the Edmonton and Calgary
Philharmonic Orchestras. She helped
found the Puerto Vallarta Chamber Orchestra and acted as concert master for
eight years.
Lois Rogers musical
background includes teaching and performing on classical piano and conducting
national championship high school choirs and for 20 years ran her own piano
studio in Edmonton, Canada.
Joy Lehman for over
20 years sang with worship bands and provided backup vocals including the local
Paradise Community Center Band. Also in Puerto Vallarta, before joining Time to
Play, Joy sang with the amazing Quesadivas, the Banderas Bay Chamber Choir, and
Classic Choral under the direction of Nick Salmans.
Enrique Jimenez was introduced to music by his famous Cuban guitar playing
Grandfather, Armando San Vicente, and by 13 yrs old, he was sharing his passion
for drums with others. After gigs in
Veracruz, Monterrey, Guadalajara and the Hard Rock Cafe in Mexico, Enrique came
to Vallarta and played at Hard Rock here until it closed. He now plays in the Paradise Community Band
and can also be heard backing Kim Kuzma at the Palm and at Nacho Daddy's.
A romantic evening in paradise – BE THERE!"
