Singles Scene: March 2008
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 02, 2008. Jeff Healey 1966- 2008. I first saw Jeff Healey. Play on the New Music back in the early 80's. John Roberts was J.D., and he did a story on a blind teenage phenom who played blues guitar with the guitar across his lap. He cited Jimi Hendrix as an influence and played in a very Hendrix style. Five or six years later, in 1988, Jeff Healey was on the charts with the album See The Light. It included the hit songs Confidence Man. Jeff Healey passed away last evening at St. Joseph's...

Singles Scene: Review: Bachman & Turner
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2010/09/review-bachman-turner.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. Review: Bachman and Turner. When Randy Bachman decided to record a solo album with guest singers, one of his first calls was to his old Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) partner C.F. (call me Fred) Turner. The two got together and recorded. Rock and Roll is the Only Way Out. The results so pleased them that Bachman shelved the solo album and BTO was reborn. Except, Robbie Bachman and - how was this allowed to happen? Blue Collar, Takin’ Care of Business. Rock is My Life. Were o...

Singles Scene: December 2008
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 19, 2008. Let The Good Guys Win. A year ago I wrote about Canadian Christmas songs:. I have spent many years looking. For Murray McClaughlin's Let The Good Guys Win. Featuring the Payola$ Bob Rock and Tom Cochrane, it is among my favourite Christmas songs (along with the Pogues' Fairytale of New York. And Otis Redding's Merry Christmas Baby. Tuesday, December 02, 2008. The Singles Scene #12. For all that there's one Canadian single, and not a favourite at that. In 1984 Some British s...

Singles Scene: Singles Scene #17 - Aberfoyle Market
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2013/06/singles-scene-17-aberfoyle-market_18.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Singles Scene #17 - Aberfoyle Market. Rain, a lot of rain. The albums were the usual lot of common stuff, things that as a long time record collector I either already had, or had long ago determined I didn’t want. But beside the albums, in four whole rows, singles! Hundreds of them, nicely stacked in the vertical for ease of flip-through. Haven’t bought some Canadian in while, I thought, and quickly hit BTO’s. My Wheels Won’t Turn. Rod Stewart’s Jeff Beck reunion,. Carries the gri...

Singles Scene: CD Review: Stephen Fearing - The Man Who Married Music: The Best ofStephen Fearing
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2009/02/cd-review-stephen-fearing-man-who.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. CD Review: Stephen Fearing - The Man Who Married Music: The Best of Stephen Fearing. It was the late 90's, around the time of his first album. Caption id="attachment 121" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The Best of Stephen Fearing"]. I saw him live once, in one of the most amazing shows I have ev e. Fearings problem has always been in his recorded output. Put simply, additional instrumentation, added harmonies and basic production mean that his virtuosic guitar play...

Singles Scene: Milk Crate Classic #7: April Wine - Stand Back
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2009/12/milk-crate-classic-7-april-wine-stand.html
Sunday, December 27, 2009. Milk Crate Classic #7: April Wine - Stand Back. Ever since the idea of the Milk Crate Classics was allocated to me I knew that sooner or later, I would cover April Wine. From day one, the question I have rolled in my mind is "Stand Back" or "The Whole Worlds Goin' Crazy"? Stand Back" was April Wine's fourth album (fifth if you include the live album), and the first completely free of the founding Henman brothers. It was a springboard to some moderate success that would come...

Singles Scene: August 2008
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. Singles Scene # 11. Parry Sound: my wife's maternal home, although it should be said Parry Sound is not her childhood home. My mother-in-law moved up there about ten years ago. In a large log cabin overlooking a lake she has maintained a modern day settlers lifestyle: chopping wood and watching CNN; clearing a woodlot and planting daisies; wood burning stove and flush toilets. In short, the perfect getaway. Another question: how am I supposed to listen to any of them? Another son...

Singles Scene: June 2008
http://canadasingles.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Bachman Cummings at Molson Amphitheatre: Review. Heading to the Ontario Place/CNE area to see Randy Bachman perform You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet. And Takin' Care of Business. Was, for me, like going home again. So here it is some 32 years later and I'm in the same area, this time for Bachman Cummings Overdrive at Ontario Place's Molson Amphitheatre last Thursday to re-love those early rock and roll nights, with a fair doppling of Guess Who thrown in for good measure. If it's just hit...

Life With A Mental Illness: July 2014
http://livingwithmydepression.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Life With A Mental Illness. This is what life is like living with a Mental Illness. Sunday, July 27, 2014. The one thing that I don't like about having a full-time job is, that I have very little time for you, my increasing number of readers. I keep trying to find some extra time to write here, and my other blog, Stekels View. The last several weeks have been quite hectic, and much more exciting than I had ever anticipated. I'm now a full-time employee, and have received my very first forklift license.
