And Now for The Particulars:


Side A

1.   The Eternals: Hideaway
(F King / S Thompson)
45: Quality Records - 1922
Winnipeg MB
Ron Paley: keys
Ted Paley: drums
John Hildebrand: guitar
Harry Hildebrand: bass
Produced by Ron Paley, 1968
Recorded at Century 21 Studios, Winnipeg

The Eternals formed in Winnipeg around 1961.

Hailing from Rosa, Man., the Paley brothers hooked up with Steinbach's Hildebrand boys in the early '60s. Playing rock 'n' roll in a strict Mennonite community was pretty arduous for the Hildebrand brothers. Ron Paley recalls John purchasing a Fender amplifier from a local merchant in Steinbach. "It was his pride and joy but when the store owner found out John was using it to play rock 'n' roll, he came to his house, retrieved the amp and gave John his money back."

In 1968, they opened “Century 21 Studios”, the first professional multi-track recording studio in the region. John Hildebrand became the recording engineer while Ron Paley supervised the technical installation and operations of the recording equipment. The band basically called it quits in the early 70s to get more into the business side of things.


2.   Tom Connors: Luke’s Guitar
(TC Connors)
45 single bw The Birth of the New Dragon Mine: CKGB: QC 122
Halton Hills ON
Tom Connors: guitar, vocal
Produced at CKGB Radio, Timmins ON, 1965

This was the first song I ever heard by Stompin’ Tom, way before his stomping. A friend of mine in Timmins had the 45, recorded at the local radio station and it hit me the same way as my Beatle albums. Goose bumps! It’s a song about a fellow Tom met down on Barrington Street in Halifax who was down and out. The guy would do just about anything to make his wife happy but drew the line at hocking his guitar. Not as rough and robust as Tom’s later recordings but tough enough to make me a life time Stompin’ Tom fan.

3.   the blackflies: Lino Bozzer
(Steve Fruitman)
Poutine: No label – BFCD1
Toronto
Steve Fruitman: mandola, lead vocals
Rick Conroy: keys, bg vocals
Tim Hadley: stand up bass, bg vocals
Steve Copec: guitar
Peter Jellard: fiddle, bg vocals
Produced by John Switzer, 1997

A song I wrote about watching softball games up in Timmins, when I was just a lad. Luke LeFebvre was the best pitcher in town at the time but when and if he got into trouble down the stretch, Lino Bozzer was there waiting to take over. It was recorded by the blackflies in 1997.

4.   Stevedore Steve: The Ballad of Kate and Luke
(S Foote)
I've Lived: Boot Records - BOS 7111
Saint John, NB
Stevedore Steve: vocals, guitar
Others not listed
Produced by Fred McKenna. 1972
Recorded by Jim Morgan and George Semkiw at Captain Audio, RCA

Stevedore Steve toured the Maritimes in his heyday and managed to write and record a few original songs he wrote from the Newfoundland perspective. Song like The Newfoundlander Salamander Tug or Newfie Screech – The Ballad of Kate and Luke fit that description. He did such a good job with those songs that he was awarded by the Province of Newfoundland.

5.   Allan Erikssons Kvintett: Granebergar’n Polka
(John Weiland)
Accordion Music From Sweden: London Records – EB 21
Stockholm Sweden
Produced circa 1960

Upon its release, Tanx was a commercial success. It peaked at number 4 in the UK Albums chart, went to number 3 in the German Albums chart and number 5 in Norway. No singles were released to promote this album. Left Handed Luke was the last cut on the album.

7.   Luke & The Apostles: Martini Monday
(Luke and The Apostles)
Luke & The Apostles: True North Records 4914
Toronto ON
Luke Gibson: guitar, vocal
Mike McKenna: guitar
Peter Jermyn: keys
Others
Produced by John Pickering and Todd Page, 2017

When Luke Gibson and The Apostles first got together around 1966, they had a unique way of playing electric blues which caught the attention of Elektra records who released just one single: Been Burnt, in 1967. One more single, You Make Me High, was released in 1970 on Bernie Finkelstein’s fledgling True North records label.

Between the release of those two singles, Luke accepted an offer to join the progressive folk-rock outfit, Kensington Market. They were wooed by concert promoter Bill Graham and music impresario Albert Grossman after opening in New York for The Grateful Dead and later in Toronto for Jefferson Airplane & The Dead in Nathan Phillips Square before 50,000 fans but they broke up that gig. Gibson went on to record his first solo album for True North.

8.   The Band: The Weight 
(JR Robertson)
Music From The Big Pink: SKAO 2955
Toronto / Woodstock NY
Levon Helm – lead and harmony vocals, drums
Rick Danko – co-lead and harmony vocals, bass guitar
Richard Manuel – Hammond organ, harmony vocals
Garth Hudson – piano
Robbie Robertson – acoustic guitar
Produced by John Simon, 1968
Engineers: Don Hahn, Tony May and Shelly Yakus

Lots of references to Luke in this song! Like, where did these guys come from. With a song like The Weight, they could have come from anywhere but Toronto – you’d think. I saw them perform at the Toronto Pop Festival, held at Varsity Stadium in June of 1969 and they failed to impress me. It was only their third gig in several years. It was a special homecoming for The Band and they really wanted to do well but It rained during most of their set. They were wearing Lou Myles suites (a Toronto tailor) and looked kind of out of place. Robbie Robertson said in his book, Testimony, that they looked like guys who should have been sipping martinis with The Great Gadsby.

9.   Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass: Tijuana Taxi
(Ervin Coleman)
Going Places: A&M Records – SP 4112
Los Angeles CA
John Pisano (electric guitar)

Herb Alpert (trumpet and vocal
Bob Edmondson (trombone)
Julius Wechter: marimba
Produced by Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss, 1965

Herbert "Herb" Alpert (b. March 31, 1935) Los Angeles

Alpert’s fifth album - spent six weeks at number one in 1966. Tijuana Brass was really just Alpert till 1964 when he put together a touring band of studio musicians. None of them were Hispanic. Alpert called them: Four lasagnas, two bagels, and an American cheese

Ervan F. "Bud" Coleman (July 7, 1921 – May 26, 1967) played guitar and mandolin with both The Brass and the Baja Marimba Band. He died in 1967 from surgical complications

10. Bobby Darin: Baby Face
(Benny Davis / Harry Akst)
45 single bw You Know How: Atco Records 6236
NYC
Bobby Darin: vocals
Produced 1962

"Baby Face" was performed and recorded by many recording artists, including Al Jolson. It’s also been recorded by Beau-Marks 1960, and by Billy Vaughan, Bing Crosby, Bobby Vee, Brenda Lee 1959, Brian Hyland, Dave Edmunds, Julie Andrews, Sal Mineo, The Crew-Cuts and Tiny Tim. It was first published in 1926 and recorded by ‘Whispering Jack Smith’ in 1926. Paul McCartney actually sung it live with Wings a few times.

11. Lou Christie: Two Faces Have I
(Twyla Herbert,/  Lou Christie)
Lou Christie: Roulette Records R 25208
Glenwillard, Penn
Lou Christie: falsetto and other vocals
Ronnie Cochrane: guitar
Twyla Herbert: keys
Johnny Wilson's Debonaires: back up band
Produced by Nick Cenci, March 1963
Recorded at Gateway Studios, Pittsburgh on February 6, 1963

Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco b. February 19, 1943 Glenwillard, PA

Falsetto! Who sings in falsetto anymore? But back in doo wop era, it was a much more common thing for guys to do. Frankie Valli, Smokey Robinson, The Beachboys, Prince and Jeff Buckley were some who utilized the upper register. Oh, and then there was Tiny Tim.

 I haven’t really listened to this song in a long time and it really struck me how close the rhythm section is to reggae. Just slow it down some and you’ll agree. 

12. The Plague: Face of Time
(R Dean / T Horricks)
45 single bw We Were Meant To Be: Reo Records 8963X
Thunder Bay ON
Don Brown: guitar, vocals
Tom Horricks: sax, lead vocals
Lyn McEachern: drums, vocals
Joey Stapansky: keys, vocals
George Steveson: bass, vocals
Produced by Gary Paxton, 1966
Recorded in Hollywood CA

From Thunder Bay but based in Toronto, they lasted only a couple of years. They went from sappy country to psychedelic rock quite easily. They were billed as “The Contagious Sound Of The “PLAGUE”.” They wound their way to California and recorded this in LA. It was released on Crusader Records in the US and W&G down in Australia where it sold really well.

13. The Byrds: Have You Seen Her Face
(Chris Hillman)
Younger Than Yesterday: Columbia Records CL 2642
Los Angeles    
Jim McGuinn – lead guitar, vocals
David Crosby – rhythm guitar, vocals
Chris Hillman – electric bass
Michael Clarke – drums
With
Cecil Barnard– piano
Produced by Gary Usher, 1967
Recorded at Columbia Studios, Hollywood

Just an excellent song by Chris Hillman with a deep fried guitar solo by Roger McGuinn when he was still known as Jim. The song was the third single released from the Younger Than Yesterday album but failed to chart. (The other singles were So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star and My Back Pages)

14. The Astronauts: Surf Party
(By Dunham / Bobby Beverly)
45 single bw What’d I Say: RCA Victor 45N 1392
Boulder CO
Rich Fifield: guitar
Dennis Lindsey: guitar
Bob Demmon: guitar
Stormy Patterson: bass
Jim Gallagher: drums
Produced 1964

Another great inland surf band. Like The Trashmen in Minnisota, or the Echo Tones out of Calgary, The Astronauts were from Boulder, Colorado. They formed in 1960 as the Stormtroopers and were signed to RCA in an effort to compete with the Beach Boys who were on Capitol. When the Beatles came along, everything changed and the Beachboys changed with it; the Astronauts didn’t get past Project Mercury.

15. Canadian Beadles: I’m Comin’ Home
(Triune)
Three Faces North: Tide Records TLP 2005
Sarnia ON
Vic Miller: guitar
Paul Case: drums
Bruce Pollard: bass, vocals
Produced 1964

Origin:  Sarnia, Ontario (group); Vancouver, British Columbia (Vic Miller); Kingston, Ontario (Paul Case); Sarnia, Ontario (Bruce Pollard).

Recorded 3 singles as The Blue Echoes 1964 & 1 LP as Canadian Beadles 1965. They also recorded 2 singles under the name Vic, Paul and Bruce.

A Merseybeat-influenced band whose records are now very sought-after and collectable. They started out in early 1963 as The Blue Echoes and came from Sarnia, Ontario, but also spent some time in California.
 
Canadian Beadles from Sarnia (Ontario) included in its membership three guys named Vic Blunt (Ralph Miller, guitar, played in The Blue Echoes, Mojo Men, The Frantiks, Center Stage), Paul Case (drums) and Bruce Pollard (drums, vocals, previously played in The Staccatos, later - in The Soul Survivors). 
 
Recorded for the "Tide" label in the US, in which the band sent a tape to with recordings of group as “The Blue Echoes” in 1963, playing in the style of "merseybeat". The head of Tide Records, Ruth Christy, was impressed and invited them to come to the US, which they did. It was there, at the beginning of 1965 before a show in the Los Angeles "Coliseum" (which was held under the name "KFWB's Beatle Alley") that they were billed as “The Canadian Beadles”. As a trio they enjoyed great success in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas since Vic, Paul & Bruce (the name they began using at the end of 1965) could sing just like The Beatles.

16. The Small Faces: Song of a Baker
(S Marriot / R Lane)
Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake: Daffodil Records Canada SBA 16015
London UK
Kenney Jones: backing vocals, drums, percussion

Ronnie Lane: harmony and backing vocals, bass guitar

Talk about a super group! Steve Marriott went to play with Humble Pie; Kenny Jones joined The Who and The Faces; Ronnie Lane was also in The Faces; Ian McLagen played keys for The Rolling Stones.

17. The McCoys: Faces
(Randy Zehringer / Robert Pieterson)
Infinite McCoys: Mercury Records – SR 61163
Union City, IN
Randy Hobbs: bass
Randy Zehringer: drums
Robert Peterson: keys
Rick Zehringer: guitar
Produced by The McCoys, 1968

Rick Zehringer became Rick Derringer and went on to join Johnny Winter’s band. Known for their great singles Fever, Hang On Sloopy and Come On, Let's Go, Faces was more what they were really all about. And album cut. 

18. Oscar Peterson Trio: Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars
(Corcovado)
We Get Requests: Verve MIJ-1-5321
Montreal QC / Toronto ON
Oscar Peterson: piano
Ray Brown: bass
Ed Thigpen: drums
Produced by Jim Davis, 1965
Recorded by Bob Simpson

19. Roberto Loretti: Tu Sei Romantica
(Renato Ranucci / Eduardo Verde)
O Sole Mio - The Great Songs Of Italy: Kapp Records KL 1252
Rome, Italy
Otto Francker Orchestra

Produced 1961

Robertino Loretti b. 22 October 1946 in Rome

First female Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova requested his records played while she was in space.

I received an email a short while ago from Laura Gillis who works in a Long Term Care Home in Mississauga. She told me of the people she works with and that she was in the process of producing a series of short segments that I might want to air on 33.45.78. Each segment features a guest DJ from the Home, choosing a song and saying something about it.

The first segment features Rina and her choice Tu Sei Romantica, a song sung by a fifteen year old Roberto Loreti. It’s a song that she loves. So let’s listen to Laura Gillis and DJ Rina before sliding into Side B of today’s program with songs that just won’t let you stay still.

Side B

1.   Royal Polka Kings: Kolomakya Presentation 
(N Shydlowsky)

2.   Bill Anderson: Still
(Bill Anderson)
Greatest Hits: Decca DL 74859
Columbia, S Carolina
Produced by Owen Bradley 1963

James William "Bill" Anderson III (born November 1, 1937)
 
One of the most successful songwriters in country music history, Anderson is also a popular singer, who earned the nickname "Whisperin' Bill" for his soft vocal style. Had several major hits and wrote songs for many other top performers.

3.   Fraser & DeBolt: Sincerely I Remain, Still Your Friend
(Alan Fraser)
This Song Was Borne: Roaratorio  roar39
St Stephen NB / Winnipeg MB
Allan Fraser: vocal, guitar
Daisy DeBolt: vocal
Gary Colliger: guitar
Shari Ulrich: vocal, violin
Joe Mock: vocals
Rick Scott: vocals
Tommy Banks Band: rhythm section
Produced by Allan Fraser & James Lindbloom  2015
Recorded at CKUA Radio, Edmonton by Holgar Petersen, 1974
Mastered by Carl Saff

Daisy DeBolt (b. 1945 / d. October 4, 2011)
Allan Hugh Fraser (born 21 July 1948 in St. Stephen, New Brunswick)

This is a double album of previously unreleased material to go along with the two albums Fraser and DeBolt released in the early 1970s. Some of the recordings were most likely compiled from cassette tapes, maybe reel to reels, recorded in coffee houses and other concerts or studio demos. While the quality of the recordings are all listenable, I still have trouble with the mastering from track to track – it could have been better. Still, it’s better to hear this duo at the height of their career, something neither of them would accomplish in their solo careers.

4.   Daniel Lanois: Still Water
(Daniel Lanois)
Acadie: Opal / WB - 92 59691
Hamilton, ON
Daniel Lanois guitar (steel, electric and acoustic), bass, vocals, omnichord

Additional Recording at Brian Enos Wilderness Studio, UK
Mixed by Malcolm Burn & Daniel Lanois w Mark Howard
Mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound, NYC

Daniel Roland Lanois b. September 19, 1951 (69) Hull QC

Daniel Lanois and his brother Bob set up their own recording studio in their mother’s basement in Hamilton in the 1970s producing mostly folk and bluegrass recordings. Then when punk blew in, they got a call from Brian Eno who wanted to book time in their studio; Daniel didn’t know who he was. It turned out to be an epiphany moment for both Eno and Lanois, totally changing Daniel’s attitude, resulting in co-productions of U2 and Bob Dylan. It wasn’t until 1989, however, that Daniel decided to make a solo record. On this track, Brian Eno did the haunting keys and backing vocals at his studio in UK

Lanois was invested in the Order of Canada in 2018.

5.   Jeff Beck & Jan Hammer Group: Earth (Still Our Only Home)

Geoffrey Arnold Beck b. 24 June 1944 (77) Wallington, Surrey

Beck played guitar in a succession of groups, beginning with Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages in 1962 when they recorded "Dracula's Daughter. In 1963, after Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones introduced him to R&B, he formed the Nightshift and recorded a single, "Stormy Monday". Beck then joined the Rumbles, a Croydon band, in 1963 before joining the Tridents. He claimed: "They were really my scene because they were playing flat-out R&B, like Jimmy Reed stuff, and we supercharged it all up and made it really rocky. I got off on that, even though it was only twelve-bar blues." He was recruited by the Yardbirds to succeed Eric Clapton in 1965.

6.   Stanley Jordan: Angel

Magic Touch, which sat at No.1 on Billboard 's jazz chart for 51 weeks, a record for a jazz guitar album. Among the artists Jordan has worked with are Quincy Jones,  The Dave Matthews Band, The String Cheese Incident, and Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh.

7.   Blakeney Still: Ain’t It Nice
(Mike Blakeney)
45 single bw Grandad: Big Harold Records BH100S
Halifax NS
Mike Blakeney:  guitar, vocal
Others not listed
Produced by Big Harold, 1975

Big Harold Records was based out of Halifax. Their biggest signings were the bands Snakeye and Tribe. Other than that, I can find next to nothing about this Haligonian singer, or his band.

8.   Charlie Pride: You’ll Still Be The One

Released January 1972 as the B side to All His Children

Charley Frank Pride b. Sledge, Mississippi March 18, 1934

Charlie Pride was so good! Just about any song that he recorded he made his own. He scored 52 top ten hits on Billboard Hot Country chart between 1966 and 1987. He started out as a baseball pitcher in the Yankees’ system in the Negro American League. Later, after an injury, he was traded with another player to another team for their team bus. He stated in his autobiography: “(He) and I may have the distinction of being the only players in history traded for a used motor vehicle”. After tryouts in the early 60s with the Angels and The Mets, he sunk into playing for The East Helena (Arkansas) Smelterites and it was his manager who got him into singing, paying him him an extra ten bucks to sing for 15 minutes before each home game.

The band would then go on to record Dark Side of the Moon which, as you all know, is Floyd’s Sgt. Pepper.
