And Now for The Particulars:
Side 1
1. Victor Holubowich & Royal-Lites: Tic-Toc Polka
(Trad arr by Victor Holubowich)
Their Instrumental Favourites: Heritage Records – HR-20
Edmonton AB
Victor Holubowich: accordion, Cord-O-Vox
Bill Rudkowski: dulcimer, bass
Joe Wasylenchuk: sax
Panko Chrunik: guitar, bass
Dan Martyniuk: drums
Produced by Victor Holubowich, circa 1970
Recorded by Joe Kozak at Recording Services, Edmonton
Victor Holubowich b. Myrnam AB November 30, 1943
Victor first got interested in playing thte accordion when he
was twelve, and once he started playing it he knew that he was destined to
be a musician. In 1970, he formed his own group which he called
“Victor Holubowich and the Royal-Lites”. Within a very short period
of time they became quite popular and performed throughout Western Canada.
Their popularity led them to the recording studio to record a number of albums
of Ukrainian Music. Victor was most proud that his own tune, The “Feature
Waltz” has gone around the world being played by many other excellent musicians.
Holubowich ran The Royal-Lites polka band for decades out of Edmonton. He
recorded Dylan’s ‘Blowin’ In the Wind’ as a polka!
2. The Fabulous Thunderbirds: Wait On Time
(Kim Wilson)
Girls Go Wild: Chrysalis Records CHM 41250
Austin TX
Jimmy Vaughan: guitar
Kim Wilson: vocals, harmonica
Keith Ferguson: bass
Mike Buck: drums
Produced by Denny Bruce 1979
Recorded by Rob Sullivan at Sumet-Bernet Sound, Dallas, May 79
The album was released named as The Fabulous Thunderbirds but since
the words “Girls Go Wild” appeared on the front cover, people assumed that
was the title.
3. Ever-Lovin’ Jug Band: Just Can’t Wait
(Minnie Hart / Bill Howard)
Tri-City Stomp: Duke of Erb Records WHRC 12-01
Kitchener ON
Minnie Heart: vocal, banjolin, violin, jug, kazoo, bass
Bill Howard: vocal, guitar, kazoo, washboard
Buck Thompson: bajitar, washboard, vocal
Willie Ames: cello, tenor guitar, vocal
John Smith: clarinet
Produced by Bill Howard & Minnie Heart 2012
Recorded at the Duke of Erb
Mixed by Matthew Knischewsky
Mastered by Harris Newman at Greymarket Mastering
I met these people up at Summerfolk in Owen Sound and they quickly put
this album into my hands. Unlike most jugbands, they don’t cherry pick the
typical jugband songs; they write their own material in the spirit of the
them. They understand the concept, sound and times of the original Memphis
based jugbands of the 1920s and 30s. While I’ve never asked, I’m certain
that singer Minnie Hart took her jugband name from two of her faves: Memphis
Minnie and Hattie Hart, both of whom were backed on disc by Will Shade’s
Memphis Jug Band.
4. Riley Puckett: Waitin’ For The Evenin’ Mail
(Puckett)
78 rpm single bw The Old Spinning Wheel: Bluebird Records B-5432-B
Dallas GA
Riley Puckett: guitar, vocals
Recorded 1934
George Riley Puckett b. May 7, 1894 Dallas, Georgia / d. July 13, 1946 East Point, GA (52)
Puckett was born in Dallas, Georgia. An incorrect treatment using
lead acetate in his eyes during infancy left him blind. His vocalizing was
a regular feature at the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers Conventions. Newspaper
reporters covering these events referred to him as the "Bald Mountain Caruso".
In 1924, Puckett accompanied fiddler Gid Tanner to New York, where, on March
7 and 8, they recorded twelve songs and tunes for the Columbia Phonograph
Company. They were the first country-music artists to record for Columbia.
He was also a member of Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers with whom he recorded
in the early 1930s. Puckett continued to record as a solo artist well into
the 1940s, creating a discography of more than 200 records. He died of blood
poisoning
5. Jim Reeves: Waiting For A Train
(Jimmy Rodgers)
When The Evening Shadows Fall: RCA LSP-4073
Galloway, Texas
Jim Reeves: vocals
Produced by Chet Atkins, 1956
Compilation produced 1968
Recorded by Bill Porter in Nashville, Nov 13, 1956
James Travis Reeves b. Galloway TX Aug 20, 1923 / d. July 31, 1964 (40) Davidson County, TN
Jim Reeves died in the same plane crash as Patsy Cline. Known
as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death.
He started playing baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals "farm" team during
1944 season as a right-handed pitcher. He played for the minor leagues for
three years before severing his sciatic nerve while pitching, which ended
his athletic career. Reeves began to work as a radio announcer and sang live
between songs. That’s what got him started in music. His first hit
was with the song "Mexican Joe" in 1953, recorded for Abbott Records. Other
hits followed, such as "Bimbo" which reached Number 1 on the U.S. Country
Charts in 1954.
The next few years felt very uncomfortable for Reeves; he didn’t like the
way he was singing and being recorded. He wanted to sing in a lower register
with the mic touching his lips as he sang. Finally, in 1957, he recorded
his way, much to the chagrin of the recording company. "Four Walls" not only
scored Number 1 on the country music charts but scored Number 11 on the popular
music charts as well. This recording marked his transition from novelty songs
to serious country-pop music

The Seaway Singers: Point Records P) 299
London ON
Bruce Anthony: guitar, bass
Bill Salter: banjo
Tom Salter: guitar
Jim Francom: vocals
Dierdre ‘Dee’ Higgins: vocals
Produced 1967
I don’t know much about the Seaway Singers, except that their
blonde bombshell lead vocalist, Dee Higgins, left the group a year after
this album was made and had quite a successful solo career. She was the official
hostess at the Ontario Pavilion for Expo ’67 in Montreal. They got together
around 1963, singing folk songs in and around London Ontario where the various
members were attending Western University. Higgins lives in Toronto and occasionally
sings with Keith McKie (Kensington Market).

wife, Mary, put the Interlake Polka Kings band together in 1964 and they
became legendary for his grass roots Ukrainian music.

Produced by Gordie Johnson, 2004
This album, The Trews first, went gold in Canada and did respectably
well in the US. The band started their career with the name One I'd Trouser,
a line taken from a song in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. They changed
their name to Trouser and eventually The Trews. The release of their first
full-length CD House of Ill Fame followed in 2003. Produced by Big Sugar's
Gordie Johnson, the album contained the 5 singles. Their big one, "Not Ready
to Go", hit number one on Canadian rock radio and was the most played song
of 2004. Since then they’ve released several studio albums, three live ones
and a number of EPs. They eventually relocated to Hamilton ON.

Mick Avory: bass
Pete Quaife: drums
Rasa Davies: bg vocals
Produced by Shel Talmy
Recorded at Pye and IBC Studios, London, August and December 1964
Released 15 January 1965
Dave Davies: The recording went well but there was something missing
and it was my raunchy guitar sound. Ray and I were worried that putting that
heavy-sounding guitar on top of a ponderous song might ruin it. Luckily it
enhanced the recording, giving it a more cutting, emotional edge. In my opinion
'Tired Of Waiting' was the perfect Pop record. It was a change of style for
us, we got a bit posher! Our material started to get a bit more melodic after
that.

to release any music until the City To City album (which went Platinum) came
out in 1978.

Although he was a traditional Canadian fiddler, Cherny never
forgot his Ukrainian roots. From the liner notes of this album, Al Cherny
wrote:
“The Ukraine. Birthplace of my parents. Home to my relations: uncles, aunts,
and grandmother (Babushka). I learned to play Ukrainian tunes as a child
in Medicine Hat. Weddings and dances were the social life for a Ukrainian;
tunes and instrumentals made up an important part of any function. Listening
to them, I am sure you will all feel the sense of excitement and activity
that is so characteristic of a Ukrainian function.”
Verxovena (Supreme) / Kolobushka (The Peddler’s Pack) The Kolobushka is a
kind of dance. The dance originated in the Russian countryside and small
towns, making its way into the middle and upper class. It was later suppressed
and taken with immigrants to the new world. As a result, there are many versions
surviving today. It survives as a popular Jewish dance today

Waite! The next song isn’t about waiting, although it sort of is. It’s a
song by Mike Waite of Mike’s Music on the Danforth and we had to wait 40
years for his sophomore album to appear. Waiting can be tough!

I’ve known Mike Waite for a long time, having worked with him at the
post office. He had a Sam The Record Man store at Broadview and Danforth
which became Mike’s Music after the Sam’s chain collapsed. He began making
music in the ‘60s with his friend Paul Grieg and in between now and then,
played bass with Breathless with Nash The Slash, helped manage Nash’s next
project, FM. Now into their seventies, he’s re-united with Paul Grieg and
between them, they are the Knights of the Mystic Eyes.

Recorded by Dave Hassinger at RCA Studios, Hollywood 6–9 March 1966
This is interesting! I had this song going through my head thinking
about this show, and for some twisted reason, thought it was a Kinks song.
Checked out all my Kinks records and….. ahhhh, it’s the Stones! Listening
to it thought, my wife thought it could have been a Kinks song. BTW, Aftermath
is my absolutely favourite Stones’ album. I love every single song!

Produced by Lou Adler, 1966
Engineer Bones Howe
Eric Alper recently asked on Twitter: what’s a song that makes you really
nostalgic? My answer was ‘Anything by the Mamas and Papas.’ They seemed to
catch a page that helped define the sounds of the mid-60s as California became
more than just the Beachboys backyard with scenes in LA and San Francisco
blossoming. I Can’t Wait wasn’t one of their hit songs, but it could have
been. It’s got that vibe.

Lou Reed rerecorded this song for one of his solo albums in the
mid-1970s but there’s nothing like the Velvet Underground’s sound, one that
accompanied the Andy Warhol scene in New York at the time.

Castleblaney, Ireland

Others not mentioned
Produced by Anna McGoldrick, 1979
Anna was born in Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan which, for some unknown
reason, is a town which has produced more than its fair share of Irish showband
talent. She came to prominence on the Irish scene in 1968 when she sang a
song in the 4th Annual Irish National Song Contest. She became a popular
Irish star and was eventually sought out by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
"I was offered my 7th TV series with RTE for 1978, but I was also offered
my first TV series with CBC in Canada and my husband, who was my manager,
decided it might be a good plan to break new ground and so we accepted the
18 week TV series with CBC and that lead to three further TV series with
CBC in Canada in the following 4 years." Anna has appeared on PBS television
in the U.S.A. in her own variety specials, each March, since 1990. No stranger
to radio, Anna also presented her own radio program each week, in the Canadian
Maritimes. Anna McGoldrick has recorded seventeen albums of song and two
comedy albums.
