Written by Sue Smith, Barb Bryce and Augusta Supple
Music written by Sue Smith
Lyrics by Sue Smith, Barb Bryce, Jeff Bird and Gwen Swick
The Season Singers is a theatrical choir for children, guided by
Artistic Director Sue Smith and Designer/Artist Barbara Jean Bryce.
This show marks the twentieth session of Season Singers and hails the
start of a new era: "A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER" is the first Season
Singers production to include all new, original music written by Sue
Smith, Gwen Swick, Barb Bryce and Jeff Bird. Titles include, "A Little
Bit of Thunder (Really Makes My Day", "Corn, Peas, Carrots and
Potatoes", "She Grants Wishes", "This is the Work of Thor", and more!
Meet the farmers of Left Field who sing and dance to make their plants
grow. Meet Thor, renowned God of Thunder and his big sister, Mor, who
bullies her little brother into causing terrible problems for Left
Field . Not even the revered Fairy Godmother can help solve the
torment. Only a mysterious visitor, with an unpronouncable name, wished
into existence, has the answer. And it has something to do with a
hammer named Mjolnir, a goat named Atlas and two engineers from
th¹üwÐê e StarMaker Laboratory named Dante and Rossetti.
A short sing-song will follow the afternoon performance
Light refreshments will be served after the evening performance
THIS EVENT IS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE
ABOUT Guelph City Park Trees
Thanks to all who signed the petition expressing concern about
excessive pruning of Guelph's park trees. The city has agreed to cease
trimming of all conifers within city parks pending the development and
adoption of a tree maintenance policy - required lots of public input.
This is good news. To read the petition click here .

The Folk Behind the Music Virtually every songwriter and musician can claim some kind of roots or folk tradition lying underneath the music they make, regardless how modern they may sound. Local songwriter and yodeler Tiny Bill Cody has invited a team of established musicians to share some of the songs that influenced them, and to demonstrate how they have maintained or adapted folk traditions within their current musical practices.

These cards include Sue's favourite photos taken while visiting the
world's most productive iceberg calving fiord at Illulisat, Greenland,
summer solstice 2000. All photos were taken by Sue after midnight from
aboard a small, double-hulled boat that looked like an elf's shoe and
cruised warily about the fiord.
