Ronnie Hawkins-Who Do You Love


Just a great song done by of the original wild man of Rock'n'Roll.
Some blokes went on from Ronnie's band to form a small group that had some success --- as The Band!

The Real Ritchie Valens - La Bamba



A summertime party at our place isn't complete without a few tunes for the tragically short Ritchie Valens career. If you have any faves send along as I am making a "Summer Songs for the big BBQ" playlist here, cheers now.

FUTURE by Todd Rundgren


I love the clip/movie that goes with Todd Rundgren's very Eno sounding tune. Both are great takes of looking back at our alleged future.

JACK NITZSCHE -"The Lonely Surfer" (1963)


I have no idea why a small-town Ontario kid like me had such a fascination with "surfer" music ...not really the Beach Boys. This movie was one I saw at the little local movie theatre (The Capitol) and I got hooked.

JAMAICA FAREWELL ORIGINAL-- HARRY BELAFONTE



My Darlin' Nicci loves this song...me thinks she harbours a little crush on Mr. Belafonte -- to think she threw him over for me...sigh...

Toots & The Maytals - Pressure drop


Just spoke with my son, via that giant interweb speaking thing calld Skype, he was getting ready for a huge BBQ in Trawna...he reminded me of how I would play this song while I did the big hog roast....so replayin'g for memories. Cheers now..
