While in Toronto the Munch Brothers were engaged by CHUM radio (and sponsored by the Peter Stuyvesant Cigarette Company) to tour Southern Ontario with daily concerts throughout the Province. Dates included two appearances at Nathan Phillips Square performing to crowds in excess of 50,000 and concluded with a two week run at the Canadian National Exhibition. During this time the band released a record in Toronto entitled “I need some Rock and Roll”. The group also appeared with “Wolfman Jack” in concert in Oshawa, Ontario.

Allen went on to record dozens of Alberta artists including Corb Lund, Wide Mouth Mason, Captain Tractor.

The thing was, they usually played these songs straight, without changing the arrangements much and they sounded great. Always paying tribute to those who inspired them.

They were very popular in Canada, especially in Montreal where they wowed the crowd at the city’s Jazz Festival. Now Magazine in Toronto said of them: "No doubt about it, Lucky 7 is among the most fun, freewheeling live acts going."

mailto:meled@wightman.ca
Edward Irvine Melanson b. Wolfville, Nova Scotia July 25, 1938
One of Canada’s first bona fide Rock n’ Rollers!
Eddy taught himself to play a guitar given to him by his uncle. Inspired by a local Wolfville pianist who loved playing boogie-woogie, he developed a rockin' hillbilly sound he used for the next sixty years in his musical career. In the early years Eddy M. and his band, "The Rock-a-Billys" played the "Country Jump Blues" all over the Maritimes. A highlight for Eddy and his band was a call to tour with and open for Bill Haley and the Comets.
A move to Ontario began another segment of Eddy's musical career including the group "Eddy M. and the Miracles" touring Ontario, the Maritimes and the USA. Eddy shared the stage over the years with several Nashville greats including Buddy Knox, The Fendermen, and Conway Twitty.
Eddy M. was presented the Stompin' Tom award by the ECMA in 2006, inducted into the Order of the Porcupine Hall of Fame in 2012 and the Rock-a-Billy Hall of Fame in Nashville as an original Canadian rock-a-billy. He appeared on CBC TV, CJCH TV and on radio across Canada and the USA. In 2003 Eddy joined the broadcast team at CFBW in Hanover, Ontario as a DJ. Eddy and his wife Melva retired in Ayton, Ontario where he still continues to record in his home recording studio.
Eddy M. quoted re his induction to the Nova Scotia C&W Hall: "It's a great honour to return to my native Nova Scotia and be inducted into the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame completing the circle of a life well lived through the magic of music".

John Sebastian formed the Spoonful in late 1964 with Toronto born guitarist Zal Yanovsky after playing in a bohemian folk group called The Mugwumps who mostly playing local coffee houses and small clubs. Two other members of The Mugwumps were Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty who later formed half of the Mamas & the Papas. The formation of the Lovin' Spoonful during this period was later described in the lyrics of the Mamas & the Papas' name dropping hit, "Creeque Alley". Starting in 1965, the Lovin’ Spoonful produced a slew of hit songs including “Do You Believe in Magic”, “Daydream”, "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," and their biggest hit "Summer in the City". By 1966 they were listed up there with The Beatles, The Byrds and The Stones. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

Known as ‘The Loudest Band In The World’. "Blue Cheer" was the name of a variety of LSD made by chemist and Grateful Dead patron Owsley Stanley although the name existed earlier, as the name of a well known laundry detergent. Drummer Whaley was the band’s drummer from 1967 when it was reduced from a 5 man band to a power trio. Summertime Blues was their only charted song. Rumor has it that they were so loud, they were forced to record outdoors. The band had a fortress of amps that could turn the air into cottage cheese! Some reports claimed that while recording their second album, outdoors on San Francisco’s pier 57, they were so loud that people on boats 14 kms away were complaining about the sound.

Peter Reuben Aceves b. Brooklyn NY, March 16, 1942 / d. Nov 11, 2011, St. John’s NL
First came up to St. John’s to work at Memorial University’s department of folklore in 1974. He immediately befriended Ron Hynes who was playing one of Narvaez’s songs at a local pub, not knowing that Peter was in the house. His first band, in New York, was Pete and Jimmy with the Rhyrhm Knights. DJ Alan Freed was championing rock ‘no’ roll on WINS Radio in NYC, and he produced the band’s sole ’45, So Wild (Castle Records, 1959).
Narvaez started a jug band. Having earned a history degree from Drew University in New Jersey in 1963, he then went to the folklore department at Indiana State University in Bloomington and earned his MA (1967). One of his fellow students was Neil Rosenberg who would later move to St. John’s to work at Memorial University’s department of folklore.
In 1975, Narvaez gave a young musician named Kelly Russell a tape of Newfoundland fiddler Rufus Guinchard. Russell was with a then-fledgling Figgy Duff, and a folk music revival in that province then followed. (Narvaez played harmonica on the first Wonderful Grand Band album.)

Recorded by Steve Dark & Sid Perez at Inner City Studios, Vancouver
Mastered by George Graves at Lacquer Channel, Toronto
Stephen Fearing b. Vancouver BC 1963
This is an amazing song, written and performed by Stephen Fearing when he was just 24 on his first LP released in 1988. It’s about climate change and the end of democracy and war. Written in 1986, the unfortunate thing about the song is that it’s still totally relevant today! 34 years later! Stephen sings it strongly, sounding like he always has, a pensive singer-songwriter. I think it’s too important a song given what we’re going through right now.

They were brought to the attention of film producer Bruce McDonald and won a part in McDonald's 1989 cult-hit film Roadkill, playing buskers in a field performing their song "The Sound". They were then signed to Capitol Records and released their debut album Don't Cry Too Hard in 1990. UFO was their first original hit song. They subsequently won a Juno Award for Most Promising Group at the Juno Awards of 1991 and lasted until their Tag (who was listed as their official manager) died in 2000.

Roy Absalom Payne born in Trout River NL in 1939
He was one of a new breed of Canadian country music artists of the late 1960s who said it like he saw it. A controversial figure, he wrote some amazing songs like “I Wouldn't Take A Million Dollars For A Single Maple Leaf,” or “Goofy Newfie” (his way of protesting the racist Newfie jokes circulating around that time). After having a lung removed, Payne quit Toronto for life up north in Mattawa which helped his ability to breathe. Said Payne: “I love it here (in Mattawa). I can breathe. Down to one puffer every two weeks or so. I fish. I pedal a bike 15k every day. I write songs. What more could a man my age ask for?"

The Dog Star Sirius is the brightest star in our sky in the constellation Canis Major (The Greater Dog). It was featured in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979), novel and series by Douglas Adams. Most of the technology mentioned in the Hitchhiker series consists of products of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, a decidedly inept company responsible for the design and creation of a wide range of robots and labor-saving devices, none of which worked as intended.
The Dog Star Sirius was also a feature reference in Paul Quarrington’s novel ‘Logan in Overtime’. (Basically about a hockey game up in Sudbury that goes into about twenty overtime periods). The “Mind-fuckers from the Dog Star Sirius were The Dogons. They were not fully formed beings, thus they could only take over an Earthling’s limb (which could be a problem for goaltenders).

Song named after the CTA-102 quasar
McGuinn explained the inspiration for the song in a 1973 interview with ZigZag magazine: "At the time we wrote it I thought it might be possible to make contact with quasars, but later I found out that they were stars which are imploding at a tremendous velocity. They're condensing and spinning at the same time, and the nucleus is sending out tremendous amounts of radiation, some of which is audible as an electronic impulse on a computerized radio telescope. It comes out in a rhythmic pattern ... and originally, the radio astronomers who received these impulses thought they were from a life-form in space."
