Cool!!


For some reason I always thought the record or the cassete would sound much better and you really couldn't get the same quality at a Live Show. However when going to the concerts I went to in the last few years they do sound real good in person but then again the acts the Bands I went to see have had decades of practice. That and I imagine that the sound systems are much improved since the seventies.

That's what they said about the Eagles not that long ago. Then again I may have missed them, we'll see.

By the way there are many groups and individuals that really don't need to, but still do. I think there are different needs other than just money that drives some of them.

What about Jeff Healey, any fans??
I actually meet him in Memphis once.
We were eating in the same restaurant, got to shake his hand.
He was with his manager, we spoke for a minute, and went on about our business.

Sure, and great sound. Just not at the very top of my list.

Another good Canadian band was April Wine. Played at my high school a couple of times. And of course Rush. Saw them lots in bars before they were filling arenas.
I Want To Hold Your Hand was the first one I remember.
I remember some of the late 50's and early 60's rock/pop. My brother is 12 years older than me so although I wasn't really into it at the time he was always playing it.

I do remember seeing the Beatles and other early rock bands on Ed Sullivan.

I vaguely remeber Ed Sulivan, I was very young at the time. Most of the music I listen to is from the sixties or seventies, but some from the eighties. Some later but just not as much. I do have the DVD or Blu Ray of the Ed Sulivan Beatle shows but I forget which it is now.

might be off subject a bit, but Stompin Tom is one of my favorites. He is truly one of "Canada's Best"
