The summer of 1964 was a magical one for me. I was in Northern
Ontario, staying with my grand-parents in Timmins. I had all my albums with
me: about ten of them: Beatles, Dave Clark 5 but I had yet to hear about
The Searchers. I went with my uncle to a logging camp in the bush where I
met a young man who had a few albums and a battery-powered record player.
He chose to play me this album and I was hooked. What a great new name to
look for! The Searchers.

Vollum at Stea Phillips, NYC - Hallmark Sound, Toronto - Bay Recording, Toronto
The Ducks were really the first local band we thought of as Stars.
They got together in 1965 as a Rolling Stones attitude band with one of them
in a Brian Jones haircut and the lead vocals approximating Mick Jagger. After
releasing their first hit, “Nothin’”, they were one of many bands who got
to open for the Stones at Maple Leaf Gardens before 15,000 fans.
She Ain’t No Use To Me was a good follow-up but it wasn’t until they released
Gaslight in 1967 that they hit the number one spot in Canada. In 1968 Yorkville
Records released the band's debut album, 'Somewhere Outside', and Mick Jagger
proclaimed The Ugly Ducklings as "my favourite Canadian band". The trouble
was, they had already disbanded.

In Russia: Pablo Records 2625-711
Montreal / Mississauga
Oscar Peterson: piano
Produced by Norman Granzinsky, 1976
Recorded Tallinn, Estonia, Nov 17, 1974
Interestingly, it’s called “In Russia” but the actual performance of this
double album took place in Tallinn, Estonia! But it was all considered a
communist block of countries under the USSR. Estonia, like Latvia and Lithuania,
were totally controlled back then by the Kremlin. This album documents a
milestone for “western” jazz in the Soviet bloc. Side one was Oscar alone
while the other sides of the album include some backup players. The response
is audible.

An entire album of great Leonard Cohen songs. Released in November
1986, Famous Blue Raincoat is a tribute to Leonard Cohen, with whom Warnes
had toured as a backup singer in the 1970s. The idea for the album originated
when Cohen assisted Warnes with the lyrics of "Song of Bernadette" while
on tour in 1979. Warnes had suggested the album at Arista Records and later
MCA Records with no luck. Still she persisted and it paid off in dividends.

As a classically trained musician, he conceived a blend of oboe, English

of hits of the day. Played Illya Kuryakin on The Man From UNCLE 1964-68.
Such was the popular hysteria surrounding him that he was referred to in
newspaper reports at the time as ‘the blond Beatle’ or the ‘fifth Beatle’.
While playing Kuryakin, McCallum received more fan mail than any other actor

Produced by Bert Kaempfert, 1961
Recorded at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Hamburg, Germany - June 22, 1961
The Beatles needed a drummer, fast, to get gigs in Germany as a
rock band, so they took Pete Best along. When they were asked to accommodate
Tony Sheridan in a recording session as his backup band, producer Bert Kaempfert
quickly realize that Best couldn’t keep time – he was all over the place.
Ringo was playing in Germany at the time with Rory Storm and was asked to
sit in, the first time he ever played with The Beatles and they loved it.
It was a dream for them to play with such an accomplished drummer.
Pete Best claims that he was fired by The Beatles for other reasons, but
check this out: he was rejected (as a drummer) by the Decca producer who
rejected them and by George Martin at EMI and that was why Ringo was eventually
hired as their real drummer.
