  1. I met Adams when he was singing in Sweeney Todd. I was over at my friends place weighing up a pound of pot we had just purchased and his groupie sister drug him upstairs to show off her catch. It was 1977 I think. He was fascinated by the bud, but wouldn't touch it, which struck me as a bit odd for a musician at the time but whatever. Really nice kid though. Later on I threw a copy of Traffic's The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys album on my friends turntable and turned the volume way up. He came running up the stairs to rave about how much he loved that album and band. And a few years later he turned out to be Bryan Adams.
  2. Riki Oh deals death gut blows to Silly Lung and Wild Cat.
  3. The legacy of FDR's 'Good Neighbor Policy' of non-intervention and generally friendly relations with Latin America meant we got tons of Latin flavor in the entertainment of the era including this delicious countrified gem from Hank Snow. Hank gets back to his bluenose roots here.
  4. Wow, Hank Snow and Patti Page. Really good stuff there you two!
  5. I had a cassette of The Road to Bayamon some twenty-five or so years back and I sure do miss it. I saw the Tom Russell Band at the Town Pump back in 89-90 and he and his crack band played everything from Road To Bayamon and Poor Man's Dream. There were maybe thirty of us there. It was like having them perform in my living room. It was pretty incredible.
  6. I kinda thought it might be a favourite of yours Tearloch7
  7. Agree about Mimi's beautiful voice. I am a Joan Baez fan as well. Richard Farina was destined for big things in music and had just published his first novel two days prior to his death at just twenty-nine years. Sad, he would have been one of the major stars of the sixties that we remember today.
