Welcome to the Club - Winter 2022

This FREE magazine is distributed in most of Sarnia-Lambton.
It’s only Rock & Roll...
By Mark Moran, Publisher
What’s bugged me about every other
“seniors” magazine I’ve ever seen is that
they try to be two things at once — with
articles about challenges as we age on
the inside pages, but with a flashy photo
of Lady Gaga in a meat dress on the front
cover. Yes, she actually wore a meat dress
once... who could make that up?
So here’s your latest issue of Welcome
to The Club and our cover story is about
the local, live music scene. I’m going to
defend this decision (and it’s a bit too
late to change it now anyway) but you
are always welcome to let us know how
we’re doing, and what you’d like to see
in ‘your’ magazine. I’m very serious...
please feel free to call or write anytime.
Playing music locally is something
I know about very well, having done it
almost all my life. There is a newsworthy
momentum building in our local music
industry and my first instinct was to
send the story to the Sarnia Journal. It’s
a fantastic paper and, while I suppose
we’re all in competition, the Journal’s
excellent local coverage is the kind of
competition I greatly admire. But then
the article kept growing and growing and
I realized that I just happen to publish
Advertisement Bloopers
Every newspaper or magazine makes mistakes from time to time (except for
Daytripping of course.) But sometimes the customer does! These are excerpts
from actual classified ads people placed in various papers, showing obvious (and
not so obvious) mistakes made. As you'll notice, many were unintentional.

Terrier puppies,

markings, 555-1234.

a magazine and, while it may not be a
perfect fit, you’ll probably forgive me. I
also reasoned that I’m over 55 and more
and more of my fellow musicians are my
age, older or getting close.
It also occurred to me that someone
who turns 80 this year was 16 when
Johnny B Goode went #1 and 24 when
the Beatles crossed the ocean in 1964.
You had a choice to love or hate disco
and may have completely avoided Devo
and Milli Vanilli. You may have lived the
greatest rock and roll life of anyone! If you
didn’t, well... don’t shoot the messenger.
There’s also an excellent article by
Cathy Dobson about the stunning
changes and lottery success that has put
Sarnia’s Imperial Theatre a decade ahead
of where supporters hoped it could be.
And of course we also have a number of
timeless articles from the archives of our
sister publication, Daytripping.
So please look it over and let us
know what you think. I’m writing this
in December and fear that we will all
have more free time than we’d like in the
coming weeks, so I hope this magazine,
‘your’ magazine, is a welcome escape.
Thanks for reading!
