Mastered by Lee Herschberg
Cover photo by John McVie


Daniel David Kirwin (b. Brixton UK, 13 May, 1950 – d. London June 8, 2018)

Only 17 when he came to the attention of Fleetwood Mac in 1967, he was left holding the flame of Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer left the group. Bare Trees was his swan-song album with the band, released just before he was fired for drunken behavior. By then, Christine McVie (Perfect) and Bob Welch (guitarist) were in the band, writing pop songs. The winds were changing and the Mac obliged, leading them in a totally new direction. This album perfectly expresses Autumn feelings.

John McNab Beattie b Arnprior, ON, 21 Dec 1916 / d 14 Jun 1982 (65)

This Autumn day has gone its way
And faded much too soon
But you and I have touched the sky
This lovely afternoon


3.   The Peanut Butter Conspiracy: Out In The Cold Again
(Monda / Colley)
For Children Of All Ages: Challenge Records
Los Angeles
Barbara Robison: vocals
Alan Brackett: bass, vocals
Ralph Shuckett: keys
Peter McQueen: drums
John Merrill: guitar, vocal
Produced by Alan Brackett, 1969
Recorded by Tom Perry

Formed in Los Angeles in 1966, the were originally called The Young Swingers featuring future Jefferson Airplane drummer Spencer Dryden. They morphed into the Crossing Guards before finding the name Peanut Butter Conspiracy. They split up in 1970.


4.    Spirit: Cold Wind
(Jay Ferguson)
Clear Spirit: Columbia Records (USA) ELS 356
Los Angeles, CA
Randy California: guitar
Jim Locke: keys
Mark Andes: bass
Ed Cassidy: drums
Jay Ferguson: keys
Produced by Lou Adler, 1969
Recorded by Stachowaik, Weinbang and Steiner

Spirit was founded in 1967 in Los Angeles. They were best known for their albums ‘Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus’. Lead by Randy California and his step-dad, drummer Ed Cassidy (born 1923), they recorded several great albums of really cool music. 

California, who’s real name was Randy Craig Wolfe, previously played guitar with Jimi Hendrix as a member of ‘Jimmy James and the Blue Flames’ in New York City's Greenwich Village in 1966. It was Hendrix who gave Wolfe the nickname "Randy California" to distinguish him from the other Randy in the band, Randy Palmer, who Hendrix called "Randy Texas".


5.   Tom Kelly: November Song
(Tom Kelly)
CBC Broadcast Recording CBC Radio Canada LM 413
Thunder Bay ON
Tom Kelly: guitar, vocal
Paul Mason: piano
Unknown others
Produced by Ira Stewart, 1975
Recorded by Lee Bailey in Halifax NS

Thomas Kelly b. Thunder Bay, ON / d. of heart attack on November 25, 2012 Burlington ON

Was the co-host of CBC TVs ‘Singalong Jubilee’ from 1971-74. For the rest of the 70s, Kelly partnered up with Gene MacLellan, performing and crafting out songs. When nobody else was looking, they forged a movement to change the Canadian copyright laws to be more favourable to singer/songwriters.

So I find it interesting that a great songwriter is left out of wikipedia’s "Canadian folk singer-songwriters" category under K. How quickly some of us are forgotten. Anyways, November Rain really captures the scene.

Not to be confused with the American singer/songwriter of the same name (which dominates online information).

Recorded by Jerry Boys at Sound Techniques, London, Nov-Dec 1969

Jennifer Vashti Bunyan b. 1945

This, her only album while she was young and produced by the amazing Joe Boyd, is a gem. She’s lovely, she’s a flower, she’s a wisp of fresh air and more and it all comes through on her unusual songs. 35 years later in 2005, she decided to record another album! Her third came out in 2014.

The Turtles, while known as a bubblegum band for their big hit songs, was a really good rock band with varying influences. Respected by The Beatles and Brian Jones, they were somewhere between garage punk, folk and pop. Vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Vollman later became The Florescent Leach and Eddy with Zappa’s Mothers.

One of the truly great jazz standards, it was composed by Vernon Duke in Westport, Connecticut in the summer of 1934. It wasn’t written for a specific show, but was used in the Broadway musical ‘Thumbs Up!’ which opened December 27, 1934. Many versions of the song have been recorded (by just about anyone who was anyone) but the only version to achieve chart success, as a single, was Frank Sinatra’s which reached No. 27 in 1949. This version was recorded at Capitol Records Studios in 1957.

If there ever were three true sons of Newfoundland b’y, they gotta be these guys. They called it quits after a successful tour in 2017 after gigging as a trio since 1983, leaving a legacy of 20 albums behind them. One of the most successful bands ever from NL.

The Du-Cats were awarded the Stompin’ Tom Award at the 2010 East Coast Music Awards.  The group ventured down to the New England States to record in 1965 and turned down a contract with Smash Records in the 1960s. Still, they were one of the first Newfoundland and Labrador rock bands to make records. Lead guitarist Lew Skinner is still active, playing rock in St. John’s, most recently with a band called Generations.

Playing in the States in the mid 1960s The Du-Cats were paired up with Bill Haley. "Bill Haley, he didn't even have a cent when we met him," said Jim Crewe. "He wasn't making any money. He was going to come to Newfoundland and spend a summer with us.

"We were planning to come back and spend July and August back here. At that time, he wasn't getting any work in the U.S., so he said he'd come down here and we'd play the theatres. I remember how old he was at the time - 39, going on 40. We thought - he's old!"

Boulder City, NV
Sandy Nelson: drums
Richard Podolor: guitar

Sander L. Nelson: Born December 1, 1938 (age 79) Santa Monica CA

I always loved Nelson’s drumming. I’ve got 8 of his many albums; he’s released over 30 in all. He currently lives in Boulder City, Nevada, doing the occasional gig. Not the drummer that he used to be but still has the technique engrained in his hands. A very subtle touch, very easy behind the kit and yet, listen to the sounds that he makes!

Eugene Smith b. 1944

Smith came from good stock: His father was Al Lucas, who played stand up bass for such greats as Duke Ellington and James Brown. His mother, Valeire Abbot, was a well-known Toronto jazz pianist and vocalist who was invited by Louis Armstrong to tour as a jazz singer with his orchestra.

Smith was a popular figure on Toronto's R&B scene during the mid to late sixties. In the seventies, he fronted an R&B band called Lucifer. Eugene resides today in Duncan, B.C. and is still active (at the age of 75) on the scene there, doing virtual performances during the Covid-19 pandemic. Also a good story teller, he claims: “I’m playing music and telling stories about my life on the road since the 1940s.” Over the past 4 decades Eugene has shared the stage with such great artists of the music world as Gordon Lightfoot, k.d. Lang, David Clayton Thomas, King Curtis, Willie Dixon, Lenny Breau, Peter Tosh, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, The Beach Boys and The Dave Clark Five. In the wild and wonderful 60’s he played Toronto and toured the United States as a singer with Ronnie Hawkins and the infamous Hawks.

Keyboardist Dave Sinclair left the group after the album's release and the group split up the following year after recording this fine album.

Elmo LeBlanc: fiddle

Produced by Arcade Richard, 1984
Recorded by Denis & Richard Cormier at Rite
Track Studios, Leonminster, Maine Elmo LeBlanc: Breakwater Hoedown

I collect Canadian fiddle albums. I’ve got hundreds of them! This one has always stood out for me because, unlike a lot of Canadian fiddle albums, this one was recorded properly. LeBlanc was a fine player who had great tone and that comes through on this record. Not a harsh fiddle not on it. A really good example of the Acadian fiddling influence on his playing.


13. It’s A Beautiful Day: Hoedown

San Francisco CA

Another band lead by an excellent fiddler, violinist David LaFlamme. Mostly known for his more flamboyant compositions, this one plays up the Hoedown feel that drives square dancers into happy heaven. This was from a live recording, likely a bootleg, that was released a couple of decades after the band stopped performing.
