5. Myrna Lorrie: Life’s Changing Scene (Grashey / Lorrie)
Quality Records - 1432
Cloud Bay ON
Myrna Lorrie: vocals
Produced by Don Grashey 1955
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrna_LorrieMyrna Lorraine Petrunka b. August 6, 1940, Cloud Bay, Ontario
She is known as the First Lady of Canadian Country Music.
Began singing on Thunder Bay radio age 11 and by 14 had her own radio show called Harmony Trails.
At age 14 she wrote and recorded the song "Are You Mine" with Buddy DeVal, which was released on Abbott Records and reached number 6 on the Billboard Chart.
Lorrie was awarded two Juno Awards for best female country singer, in 1970 and 1971.
She was Best Female Singer and Entertanier of the Year at the inaugural Big Country Awards in 1977.
She was among the inaugural inductees along with her mentor Hank Snow, into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame on November 1, 1989 in Kitchener, Ontario; and the CCMA Hall of Honour on September 9, 1996.6. Ry Cooder: Viola Lee Blues (Noah Lewis)
Crossroads Motion Picture Soundtrack: Warner Brothers 92 53991
Los Angeles CA
Ry Cooder: vocal, mandolin
Jim Keltner: drums
Jorge Calderon: bass
Jim Dickinson: piano, guitar
George Bohannon: baritone horn
Walt Sereth: soprano sax
Produced by Ry Cooder 1986
Recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles by Mark Ettel
Second engineers: Tony Chiappa & Dave Ahlert
Mixed at Ocean Way and Record One by Judy Last
Mastered by Bernie GrundmanOriginally recorded by Cannons Jug Stompers, the song was written by Cannon’s longtime partner, harmonica playing Noah Lewis. Apparently, Lewis was an amazing blues harp player who inspired Rice Miller who went by the name of Sonny Boy Williamson (II). He was able to play two harps at once, even through his nose.
The music for the Crossroads film is amazing. Cooder was in charge selecting the music, the musicians and the way in which they were recorded. Probably due to the fact that Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid) played the co-lead role (with a very convincing Joe Seneca), the film didn’t do that great. According to Cooder: “the film went down the tubes.” But the music….
Unfortunately, the Steve Vai segment where he and Macchio (whose parts were mostly played by Cooder off camera) cut heads in a duel was left off the album. That was the best part. But what was on the album was amazing, including Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee’s last recording together. The use of bluesman Frank Frost was brilliantly shot at a real roadhouse in Mississippi.

Recorded at Abby Road Studio, London
Remastered at EMI 2007The follow up third single by PF which bombed. After the success of Arnold Layne and See Emily Play things started going pretty weird with Syd Barrett. Apples and Oranges is a fantastic song that should have out did the other two singles. The desire to have more hits put more pressure on Syd to write something new; the fact that they would have to play it the same way in live performances was not ‘art’ in his mind. He rebelled, writing Vegetable Man as the band’s next single but it was never released and stayed dormant for years. Within a few months, Syd was out of the band.
