Some Photos from the Old Days

Sparks Street
Back in the summer of 1991, just
before Junkyard Symphony was created, Jonny O used to busk by himself on Spark Street. This picture was put on the cover
of the Ottawa Citizen, with the caption "Jonny O's Junkyard Symphony", thus the birth of the name. The Amazing Lackey joined
shortly afterwards.

Winterlude
Junkyard Symphony has performed
at Winterlude many times. The great thing about junk is that is doesn't get damaged by rain or snow. This picture was also
in the Citizen in the City section. You can see the volunteer trying to chase jonny and play on a water jug.
|
Jazz Fest
Junkyard Symphony has also performed
at the Ottawa Jazz Fest many times. The great thing about junk is that is you can't put it into one musical category. This picture was also
in the Citizen in the City section. You can see Jonny showing off. Lackey isn't to impressed.

Brandtford Busker Festival
Jonny and the Amazing Lackey are drumming up a storm
to a captive audience! You can see all the different pieces of junk they are playing on ... pots and pans, water jugs and even a catalytic converter!
It looks like somebody just kicked the Amazing Lackey in the butt...Don't ya think?

The Early Years
This picture, as well as the one up top was
taken at the beginning of Junkyard Symphony, when there was only just the street show.
In 1999 the Junkyard Jonny shows were formed, and Junkyard Jam a year later.

Junkyard Jonny Juggling
Demonstrating one of his many talents,
Jonny is juggling the very junk he and the Amazing Lackey play on! Taking a look at the setup JYS uses to play on, you can see buckets, a big blue bath tub in the bottom right
hand corner and tire rim with a big red strip!
