Moved to LA when he was 7 where he began wrestling. He wrestled on the Canadian circuit in early 1960s and liked it so much that he moved to Toronto, permanently. He was a huge celebrity about town, rivaling Eddie Shack. He’d be seen about town with his hair died blond and tucked into a French bun at the back while driving a Cadillac convertible down Yonge St. Last I heard he was Dj’ing Karaoke at Duke of York on Queen St E in Toronto on Saturdays

The group took its name from a Bible passage: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine ...." meaning: do not give things of value to those who will not understand or appreciate them. PBS was under the influence of The Fugs who directed them to ESP Records in the mid-1960s. On working with the label ESP-Disk, Rapp has said that "We never got any money from ESP. Never, not even like a hundred dollars or something. My real sense is that he (Bernard Stollman) was abducted by aliens, and when he was probed it erased his memory of where all the money was". They then went to Reprise Records and released several albums with them before Tom Rapp went solo in 1972.

On February 10, 2008, Townsend was posthumously awarded a Grammy, his first, at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.

Recorded by Don Paches at Damon Studios, Edmonton AB
1st of 3 LPs recorded in the 70s. Ted Wesley was born in Abercorn, in what was formerly Northern Rhodesia, now a part of Zambia. His parents were Polish refugees. At six they moved to England, then at nine they emigrated as a family to Edmonton. He didn’t like school and first went north at age 16, to work for the Discovery gold mine north of Yellowknife. "I lied to them, told them I was 18," he says with a smile. Now living in Northern Alberta – still performing.
Not being a prolific songwriter himself, he came to the attention of some songwriters known for their northern bent. The most well known of them was Bob Ruzicka, as well as Wilf Bean, who wrote about caribou, snowmobiles, arctic trucks and Yukon gold. Wesley recorded three albums of their songs between 1972 and 76. He was also known for his impersonations of Elvis, haircut and all.

During 1963, just one year before he co-founded The Byrds, McGuinn worked as a studio musician in New York, recording with Judy Collins and Simon & Garfunkel. Because of Beatlemania in 1964, he decided to put a folk music group together to play rock music: thus The Byrds. This is off Roger’s second solo album after leaving The Byrds.

Sun soaked, lubricated and ready for fun! That’s why I like this song. From Buffett’s break-through album of the same name featuring his gigantic hit, Margaritaville. It’s one of those rarer albums where every song is important to the flow; every song is relevant and makes it perfect.

Otis Ray Redding Jr
b. Sept 9, 1941 Dawson Georgia / d. Dec 10, 1967 (26) Madison Wisconsin
This song initially appeared on Sam Cooke's album Ain't That Good News, released mid-February 1964. The song was inspired by various personal events in Cooke's life, most prominently an event in which he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana.
Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans. Though only a modest hit for Cooke, "A Change Is Gonna Come" is widely considered his best composition and has been voted among the best songs ever released. It was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, deeming the song is "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important."
After winning the 2008 United States presidential election, Barack Obama referred to the song, stating to his supporters, "It's been a long time coming, but tonight, change has come to America." Oh ya??? If it did, it didn’t last long!
