Produced by Robert Fripp & Pete Sinfield, 1970
Recorded by Jeff & Tony at Studio Wessex Sound, London
What I was expecting to hear was more of In The Court of the Crimson
King but what we got on the second album was completely different. In the
Wake of Poseidon took us into totally different places, including the world
of cat food. Before the band came together as King Crimson in 1969, they’d
spent a year developing the band in London, starving (cos they never played
a gig) and most likely eating cat food. Again!

Produced by John Irvine, 1967
This was the first record Tom made with the Stompin’ Tom title;
he had only made one other 45 for the Rebel Records label out of Peterborough,
owned by the infamous John Irvine. Rebel featured a confederate flag as its
logo! Tom recorded one other 45 and two albums for Rebel before he realized
that he was getting screwed. He had to buy his way out of his contract with
Irvine, which cost him a few thousand bucks at the time, and had to re-record
the first two albums because Irvine claimed to have conveniently lost the
original master tapes.

his talent and bought him an acoustic guitar, then taught him the basics.
Once he learned how to strum three chords, he began to write songs. He later
moved to Sioux Lookout, Ontario and was elected mayor in 1991, becoming
the first aboriginal person in the province ever elected to the mayoralty
of a municipality that was not a First Nations reserve. He later moved to
Cochrane, Ontario, where he was elected mayor 2003, becoming one of the few
Canadian politicians ever to have been elected mayor of two different municipalities.
He served as mayor of Cochrane until 2010.
At the Juno Awards of 1994, he became the first winner of the Juno Award
for Best Music of a Canadian Aboriginal Recording for his album “Wapistan
Is Lawrence Martin”. He was nominated two more times in the same category,

What’s a Simini? How did this duo of Sim Savory and Bud Davidge come up with the name?
It is believed that the name "Simani" is derived from someone asking Davidge
who was playing that night at the local Legion, Davidge replied, "Sim and
I". By the time the music began that night, the name was already set.

When Johnny Lovesin and The Invisible Band opened for The Ramones
at a show in Toronto, one Toronto Sun music critic asserted in his review
that Lovesin had blown the Ramones off the stage. He released his first solo
album in 1980, followed by Rough Side Of Town in 1983. Soon after releasing
his third album Tough Breaks, Lovesin suffered a brain aneurysm shortly after
performing at Toronto's annual New Year's Eve show at Nathan Phillips Square,
and withdrew from the music business to recover but the hiatus certainly
affected the momentum of his career..

Like so many other British bands, the Moody Blues were an R&B

Atlantic. The band encountered management problems after the chart-topping
hit, after which they completely disappeared from North American charts until
their prog-rock opus Days of Future Passed was released in 1967, beginning
the next phase of the band’s career.

This performance captured Miles Davis at the intersection of
time. What he did before this and what he would do after it would be miles
different. After this gig Davis changed his band to get ready for what was
coming over the horizon.

Thomas George Russell b. Los Angeles March 5, 1947
In 1999, well known singer/songwriter Tom Russell wrote a folk
opera called “The Man From God Knows Where” which traced the flight of his
ancestors from Europe to America. To do so, he drew upon the music of Ireland
and Norway. The name of the folk opera came from the epitaph of Tom Russell,
Irish activist who was executed in 1803. It’s interesting to note that Russell
had spent time in Norway back in 1987 when he recorded Road To Bayomon there.
And yet somehow it qualifies for Canadian Content (released here on Stony
Plain Records out of Edmonton).

LONG LOST RELATIVES is a record that almost didn't happen. While
laying down tracks at Magic Track Recording Studios, an accidental fire destroyed
much of the studio and all the equipment inside. Undeterred, the band carried
on when a group of loyal fans and fellow musicians decided to hold a benefit
show for them, cramming over 2,000 people into a the St Lawrence Market hall.
Now that's Toronto!
