They were known for their yellow suits, made from curtain fabric that never wrinkled. They played on mostly yellow instruments and got around in a yellow car. They even bleached their hair yellow but quickly abandoned that following allergic reactions to the bleaching product they used. When Boney Maronie became a hit in Quebec they filled a 500 seat room in Chicoutimi leaving people standing outside just to hear the band play. It sold 62,000 copies.

The Ducks were really the first local band we thought of as Stars. They got together in 1965 as a Rolling Stones attitude band with one of them in a Brian Jones haircut and the lead vocals approxiamating Mick Jagger. After releasing their first hit, “Nothin’”, they were one of many bands who got to open for the Stones at Maple Leaf Gardens before 15,000 fans. She Ain’t No Use To Me was a good followup but it wasn’t until they released Gaslight in 1967 that they hit the number one spot in Canada. In 1968 Yorkville Records released the band's debut album, 'Somewhere Outside', and Mick Jagger proclaimed The Ugly Ducklings as "my favourite Canadian band". The trouble was, they had already disbanded.

Recorded from the International Space Station by Paul Mills
Recorded on Earth at a studio in Toronto
Mastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge

The question is: is it CanCon? Coz it was recorded, partially, from the International Space Station. Of course, the back up band were recorded in an earthly studio in Toronto. On this track Commander Hadfield only sang the song; on some of the tracks he also plays guitar. Hadfield said that zero gravity played havoc with everything from holding a guitar stable to singing properly.

"The producer who was helping me, Paul Mills, said: 'Your guitar playing is a little messy.' I said, yeah, you come up here and play guitar," Hadfield told The Globe and Mail. He also explained that zero-gravity caused a build-up of fluid in the head, leading to a swelling of the tongue and vocal cords.

Recording for many of the album's tracks was done in Hadfield's tiny sleeping pod. Using a microphone plugged into his iPad, the Canadian astronaut used a slim Larrivee Parlor acoustic guitar to allow him to play in such tight confines.

And after tinkering with a number of recording methods, he ended up using his laptop and Apple's GarageBand to record himself singing and strumming his Canadian-made guitar. Paul Mills then had to retrieve the data files downloaded by NASA. Hadfield served as Commander of the International Space Station over a period of 144 days in space; his third space mission.

The group that made the first rock 'n' roll record in Atlantic Canada. On April 23 of that year (1958) the four Asteroids set out from their homes in Saint John, New Brunswick, for what was then a seven-hour trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to make the first rock 'n' roll record in that part of the world. The Asteroids were formed in 1957 by Mel Clark, Jon Everett (Dov Ivry) and Alan Reid. They were 16 years old. When the  Sputnik went up not long after, they sat down and wrote their first song, Satellite. Blast off was the first Rodeo Records, basically a C&W label, release of rock n roll. The Studio only had 2 mics and they cut two 45s. Hi tech! Bob Seely died in 2015.

What an amazing rendition of this Classic Canadian. Omemee isn’t quite located in Northern Ontario; it’s on Highway 7 between Lindsay and Peterborough in the Kawartha Lakes district. There was a lot of speculation after this song was released, which town was that town in North Ontario he was singing about. But Omemee is where he spent his childhood.

This album is another Canadian Classic! It was the best blues-rock album to come out of this county at that time, in 1969. They got together in 1968, practiced (and got recorded, thus the bootleg McKenna-Mendelson Blues) and did a couple of small gigs before opening for The Fugs at Massey Hall in Toronto in October, 1968. They used to sing The Attack of the Fifty Foot Penis at gigs so guys generally were the target audience. They went to England to make it big but only starved in the cold and recorded this album. Heroes when they returned, they decided to break up intil re-uniting a year later under the name Mainline.

This was an amazing experience for me! Having been a life-long fan of the band, Mike McKenna, whom I had befriended and did a few gigs with, got me to sing Mac Beattie’s Northern Ontario Blues with Mainline when I had the entire band in the radio station studio to do my Great North Wind program when we were still operating out of 91 St. George. Only Joe Mendelson missing.
