Although he is best known for his hit of 1958, "Swinging Shepherd Blues", Moe Koff - man's accomplishments span a lifetime. He began with the violin and moved on to the saxophone becoming a teenage prodigy working in the United States with bands led by Jimmy Dorsey, Sonny Dunham and Charlie Barnet. After studying flute in New York, he introduced this in- strument, to jazz and popularized it as as jazz instrument. Koffman is backed by a combo of accomplished musi- cians in their own right - Ed Bickert on guitar, bassist Kieran Overs, keyboard player Bernie Senensky and drummer Howie Silverman. One of Koffman's most listened to pieces is "Koff Drops", the theme tune for CBC Radio's As It Happens. But in concert is where you Williams Drain, $1,571. . The construction of the Boyes Drain will be done by Bayline Drainage of Clinton for 18,827 between May 1984 and July.
