And Now for The Particulars:

Hour One

1.   Sandy Nelson: Tequila
(C Rio)
Let There Be Drums: Imperial Records LP 9159
Los Angeles

Sandy Nelson: drums
Richard Polodor: guitar
others not credited
Produced by Richard Polodor, 1961

My grandson turned 5 so here’s three songs for him:

2.   Popeye: Popeye the Sailor Man
(Sammy Lerner)
Popeye: Peter Pan Records 1113
Sweet Haven
King Features Syndicate Productions


His current favourite. The traditional voice of Popeye was by Winfield B. Mercer b. January 31, 1910 in either Worthington, Indiana or New York City / d. December 7, 1984 (74) NYC. Mercer took over from the original Popeye voice in 1935 and remained Popeye until his death. Since there are no credits on the album, I can’t say for sure if it’s Mercer or an imposter in the role but it sure sounds like Popeye.

3.   Jimmy Durante: It’s My Nose’s Birthday
(Crane, Durante and Harris)
Jimmie Durante In Person: Lion Records L70053
Brooklyn NY

Ray Bargy Orchestra
Produced 1958

James Francis Durante (b. Manhattan NY, February 10, 1893 d. January 29, 1980)

Legendary entertainer who dips deeply into the old vaudeville, known as “The Schnozz”. Whenever I play this song, someone emails me! Only the Nose Knows for Sure.


4.   The Beatles: Birthday
(Lennon / McCartney)
The Beatles: Apple Records ‎– SWBO-101
Liverpool

Paul McCartney: lead vocal, bass, piano
John Lennon: vocals, guitar
George Harrison: guitar, tambourine
Ringo Starr: drums, handclaps
Pattie Harrison: backing vocal
Yoko Ono: backing vocal
Mal Evans: handclaps
Produced by George Martin, 1968
Recorded at EMI Studios, Longdon by Geoff Emerick

Lennon said in his Playboy interview in 1980: "'Birthday' was written in the studio. Just made up on the spot. I think Paul wanted to write a song like 'Happy Birthday Baby', the old fifties hit. But it was sort of made up in the studio. It was a piece of garbage." Well that puts a damper on things!


RIP Roy Head 1941 - 2020


5.   Roy Head & The Traits: Treat Her Right
(Roy Head / Gene Kurtz)
Single bw So Long, My Love: Back Beat Records BB. 546
Three Rivers TX

Roy Head: lead vocals
Johnny Clark on lead guitar
Frank Miller on rhythm guitar
Gene Kurtz on bass
Dan Buie on keyboards
Danny Gomez and Tommy May on tenor sax
Johnny Gibson on trumpet

Produced by Huey Meaux, 1965
Recorded at Gold Star Studios, Houston TX

Roy Kent Head b. Three Rivers TX, Jan 9, 1941 / d. Sept 21, 2020 (79) Montgomery County, TX

There was only one song that kept Treat Her Right from reaching the pinnicle spot of Number One and that song was Yesterday by The Beatles. Head began his career while still attending high school in 1958 when he formed The Traits. They signed with small labels and made a few records as early rock n’ rollers but it was ‘Treat Her Right’ that made him the blue eyed prince of soul. Before he went Country & Western. He had a career that spanned more than 50 years!

RIP Lee Kerslake  1947 - 2020

6.   Uriah Heap: Circus
(Lee Kerslake / Gary Thain / Mick Box)

Lee Kerslake b. 16 April 1947 Bournemouth UK / d. 19 Sept 2020 (73)

Kerslake began playing drums at age 11, and got his first real gig with ‘The Gods’ in 1969, going on to record three albums with them. In the next couple of years he played with Toe Fat and National Head Band before joining Uriah Heep in November 1971. He later went on to form The Blizzard of Oz with Ozzy Osbourne. He was given a writing credit for Circus.

7.   The Who: Armenia City In The Sky
(Speedy Keen)
The Who Sell Out: Decca
London UK

Pete Townsend: guitar, vocal

John Entwistle: bass
Keith Moon: drums
Produced by Kit Lambert, 1968

John David Percy Keen b. 29 March 1945 London, England / d. 12 March 2002 (56)

Remember Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman? That was written by their drummer, Speedy Keen who was working as Pete Townsend’s chauffeur. He wrote this one too. This was the only song ‘The Who’ ever performed that was specifically written for the group by a non-member. "Armenia City in the Sky" was, apparently, inspired by a long-lost painting back in the 1960s. Who bassist John Entwistle joked that people thought it was "I'm an Ear Sitting in the Sky".

8.   The Andrews Sisters: Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree
(Lew Brown / Charles Tobias / Sam H. Stept)
Pistol Packin’ Mamas: Pickwick/33 Records ?SPC-3094

Patty: February 16, 1918 - January 30, 2013 (aged 94), Los Angeles

The three Andrews sisters began performing together when they were children, in 1925 and called it quits in 1967 after the death of LaVerne. They were to US servicemen during WW2 what Dame Vera Lynn was to the British. After the war they were ripe for the brand new universe of television, appearing on all the best shows.

9.   The Bachelors: Beneath The Willow Tree
(Scott / Martin)
45 Single bw I Wouldn’t Trade You For The World: Decca F. 11949
Dublin Ireland

Con and Dec Cluskey: Guitar, keyboards, banjo, ukulele, harmonica

Produced 1964

They started out in 1957 as The Harmonichords. They got to appear in the USA on the 'Ed Sullivan' TV show St. Patrick's Day special (filmed in Dublin, broadcast 15 March 1959), where they played "Danny Boy". In 1960, they changed their name to the Bachelors at the suggestion of Dick Rowe, A&R at Decca Records, who reportedly recommended the name "because that's the kind of boy a girl likes". They were somewhat ‘smarmy’, good looking lads and had quite a few hits before striking it big in 1965 with the release of the Irving Berlin song ‘Marie’. Their last big hit was with Paul Simon’s ‘Sounds of Silence’.

The arrangements were impeccable. The performances transcendent. The Stardust album was on the Billboard's Country Album charts for ten years from its release until 1988.

11. Vic Dana: Danger
(Bob Beckham / Buzz Cason)
45 single bw Heart, Hand And Teardrop:  Dolton Records ‎– DO 73
Buffalo NY

Vic Dana: vocal
Ernie Freeman Orchestra
Produced by Bob Polydor, 1963

Samuel Mendola b. Buffalo NY August 26, 1940

This was the very first song that I was aware of that said the word Danger. Discovered by Sammy Davis Jr., Dana was an excellent dancer, particularly in tap dance, and was encouraged by Davis to move to Los Angeles to further his career. With the decline of dancing as a form of entertainment, Dana began a singing career. He is best known for his 1965 recording of "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" He also scored a chart record in 1970 with Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine," years before it was turned into a number one hit by UB40. By the early 1970s his singing career was basically ended.

In 1975 Lowe began playing bass in Rockpile with Dave Edmunds until 1980.

Detroit MI

Otis Williams: vocals
David Ruffin: vocals
Melvin Franklin: vocals
Eddie Kendricks: vocals
Paul Williams: vocals
The Funk Brothers band
Produced by Norman Whitfield, 1966

This was Whitfield’s first jab at producing The Temptations. Until then they were under the tutilage of Smokey Robinson. Since their last hit single, ‘Get Ready’, didn’t chart very well, Whitfield was given his chance to produce them and he did his job well. The song was a mega-hit that went all the way up the Billboard charts to number 3!

They did get to perform on CBC television’s Music Hop program which aired on October 17, 1963 along with Bobby Curtola and Pierre Lalonde. On this LP, Zeke Shepherd (later of Mainline) was asked to play some electric bass and harmonica on one song.

The chief insinuation of discussing men, big men, in this case Lumberjacks from Vancouver Island with a cast of red-coated Mountees, wearing panties and bras was ground-breaking at the time. So were many of the antics captured by Monty Python’s Flying Circus. No one could have captured those moments better!

From the liner notes by Tex Ritter:

I was in Toronto, Ontario with Gene Autry when I first talked with Johnny Cash. Almost a year later, I talked to him again. Gene’s show was playing the Canadian National Exposition (SP) when we learned that Johnny was playing a one night stand in the same city. Being one of the millions who was enjoying the fine recordings by this skyrocketing young star, I just couldn’t resist the urge to call him at his hotel that night when our respective jobs were finished.

Anne Lederman and Ian Bell were still very much youngsters when they caught the traditional folk music bug back in the late 1970s. They recorded this one album for Boot Records of very traditional folksongs, including this one. Canadian ‘shantyboy’ songs, or ‘logging songs’ about lumberjacking the winter months away in the lonely desolate woods in a log shanty with other hairy, stinky men, are some of the most unique ‘real folksongs’ from this country. (Most other Canadian folksongs can be traced back to their origins in the British Isles or France).

Mike Bernier: vocal, fiddle, mandolin

Produced by Andy Thompson & The Wakami Wailers, 1985
Recorded at Northumberland Music Studio 29, Campbellford ON

These guys were all young Ontario Park ranger cadets who spent a summer up at Wakami Lake, near Timmins in Northern Ontario. They started to perform logging songs collected by folklorists. As the years went by they kept performing. Although they never released any vinyl, their first cassette was recorded in analogue in Campbelford ON in 1985. I got to know guitarist Mark Despault from Picton who went on to perform in The Frere Brothers.

Arnprior ON

Reg Hill: fiddle
Bob Whitney: piano
Toni Miseferi:guitar

Mac Beattie: vocal, drums
Produced by Ralph Carlson, 1964
http://www.backtothesugarcamp.com/macbeattie.html

Mac Beattie’s father was a Canadian lumberjack who spent most winters working in the shanty camps mostly on the Quebec side. Each spring he would return home with new stories and songs that he would sing for the family. (He also played the mouth organ). When Mac was about 15 he went into the woods with his father a couple of seasons. The music stuck to Mac and he always sung like a true lumberjack.

13. Ronnie Hawkins: Home From The Forest
(Gordon Lightfoot)
Yorkville Evolution Compilation: Yorkville YVM 33001
Toronto

Ronnie Hawkins: vocals
Compilation Produced by Brian Ahearn and Bill Gilliland, 1967

Rompin’ Ronnie doing Gord? Not too sure who the musicians were who played behind him. When you think of The Hawk, rock n’ roll, rockabilly, would most likely come to mind but he also had this sensitive side to him, able to deliver country ballads and folksongs equally. On his album The Hawk he delivers songs written by Don Gibson, Willie Dixon, Tim Hardin and Paul Simon.

Murray Edward McLauchlan, CM (born June 30, 1948) Paisley, Scotland

In the late 1990s, McLauchlan was flying commercial airplanes as a "bush pilot" in Northern Canada. He has always been keen to write songs with Canadianisms in the lyrics, as in this one. For a time in the 70s, he was True North Records’ best selling artist, eclipsing Bruce Cockburn for most of that decade.
