Produced by Glen Robinson, 1989
Recorded at Victor Studio, Montreal Nov 11-17, 1985
Voivod have released fourteen studio albums since their inception in Northern Québec in 1982. The band found mainstream success in the late 1980s with their fifth studio album Nothingface. It’s Voivod's only album to enter the Billboard charts, peaking at number 114. Their latest album, The Wake, released in 2018 won a Juno Award for Heavy Metal Album of the Year.
2. The Byrds: Everybody’s Been Burned
(David Crosby)

Los Angeles CA
Jim McGuinn: lead guitar, vocals
David Crosby: rhythm guitar, vocals
Chris Hillman: electric bass, vocals
Michael Clarke: drums
Produced by Gary Usher, 1967
Recorded at Columbia Studios, Hollywood CA
In an interview with Steve Silberman in 1995, David Crosby said that he thought this was "the first actually passable song that I wrote." He actually wrote it in 1962, over a year before the Byrds came together. Crosby had recorded demos of it as early as 1963. Critics described it as "one of the most haunting songs in the Byrds' catalogue, and one of David Crosby's finest compositions".
It also appeared on the ‘Younger Than Yesterday’ album.
3. The Flaming Groovies: 5D
(Roger McGuinn)
Jumpin’ In The Night: Sire Records SRK 6067

Chris Wilson: guitar, vocal
Mike Wilhelm: guitar
George Alexander: bass
David Wright: drums
Produced by Cyril Jordan and Roger Bechirian, 1979
Recorded by Roger Bechirian at Eden Studios, Advision Studios, London UK
According to composer, Roger McGuinn, the song's lyrics were an attempt to explain Einstein's theory of relativity but having been released right after the non-censored ‘8 Miles High’, the song was banned as a drug song even though it was actually about flying to England. So I guess it’s a drug song then!

Produced by Barry Bryant, 1968
Recorded by Don Van Gorden, New York City
Simeon Oliver Coxe III, 4 June 1938, in Knoxville, TN / d. Sept 8, 2020 Fairhope, Alabama (82)
The Thing called a Simeon was made up of nine audio oscillators piled on top of each other and eighty-six manual controls to control lead, rhythm and bass pulses with hands, feet and elbows. Simeon devised a system of telegraph keys and pedals to control tonality and chord changes, and reportedly never learned to play traditional piano-styled keyboards or synthesizers.
Both players played in the Café Wha? (NYC) house band ‘The Overland Stage Electric Band’ and quit to form the Silver Apples duo. Taylor was a drummer whose previous experience included playing with Jimi Hendrix.
Their first gig as Silver Apples was before 30,000 fans in NY's Central Park. Taylor's drum kit included thirteen drums, five cymbals and other percussion instruments. Danny Taylor died on March 10, 2005 Kingston, NY of heart attack. Simeon kept on playing Silver Apples gigs using recordings of Taylor’s original drum tracks.

Produced by Chas Chandler, 1967
Recorded October 23, 1966 till April 4, 1967, at De Lane Lea, CBS, and Olympic Studios in London
In the summer of 1966, Hendrix relocated to New York City's Greenwich Village. There he explored rock music outside of the confines of the Harlem rhythm and blues scene. While performing with his group ‘Jimmy James and the Blue Flames’ at the Cafe Wha?, Hendrix played elements of early versions of "Third Stone from the Sun". He continued to develop it with (ex-Animal and now manager) Chas Chandler after moving to England. The two shared an interest in science fiction writing.
Said Chandler: ‘I had dozens of science fiction books at home ... The first one Jimi read was
“Earth Abides”. That where 'Third Stone from the Sun' came from.’

Richards Keelan: vocal
Produced from tapes of David Woodhead, March 8, 1972
Plastic Javex Bleach bottles have been found bobbing on the water for years. This track is nearly 50 years ahead of its time! Plastic pollution has been worsening yearly since well before then.
Joni Mitchell’s song ‘Banquet’ on ‘For The Roses’ also mentions Javex:
I took my share down by the sea
Paper plates and Javex bottles on the tide
The only other song I know of that mentions ‘Javex’ bleach is ‘The Boarding House On Federation Square’ by the late Joan Morrissey from St. John’s NL. It’s a song that mentions how the lady who ran the boarding house cleaned the stains out of her underwear, by boiling ‘em up with potatoes which, according to the lyrics, worked better than the ‘Javex’ bleach.

Recorded by Danny Greenspoon, Inception Sound, Toronto
Mastered by George Graves at Lacquer Channel, Toronto
Joe recorded three albums for Stompin’ Tom’s ‘Boot Records’ label. Let’s Party was the third offering. The cover was a highly controversial painting by Joe of a cigarette smoking party where all the individuals were portrayed with anus heads and cigarette hands (with teeth) which was quite revolutionary for a country music label. The album is one of the strongest, best produced records of Joe’s career with several memorable songs and a great cast of musicians.

Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, 1966
Recorded by Dave Hassinger at RCA Studios, Hollywood CA
This song appeared on Aftermath, in my opinion, the ‘Revolver’ album of the Rolling Stones. Brian Jones plays marimbas on this to the fuzz baselines by Bill Wyman. The song raised the ire of feminists in the 1960s till Tina Turner covered it in 1975 on her Acid Queen album. It has the distinction of being the song The Stones were playing at Altamont when Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death in 1969.

Hisashi Sakamoto (Oshima) b. Kawasaki Japan Nov 10, 1941 / d. 12th Aug 1985 (83) Plane Crash Victim.
Sakamoto’s international breakthrough came in 1963 during a visit to Japan by Louis Benjamin, an executive of British record company Pye Records. After hearing the song several times, Benjamin decided to bring a recording of it back to England. Due to concerns that the title would be too hard for English-speakers to pronounce or remember, the song was renamed "Sukiyaki", after the Japanese cooked beef dish familiar to the English. The new title was intended to sound both catchy and distinctive in Japanese, but other than the language, it had no actual connection to the lyrics of the song.

45 single bw Sit Down And Write A Letter To Me (Wontcha, Baby): Almo International Records 204

Recorded in Los Angeles
Lucille Marie Raymonde Savoie b. May 13, 1938, Saint Boniface, MB / d. Sept 4, 2020 (82) Las Vegas, Nevada
“When The Sun Says Good Day To The Mountains”, a.k.a. “The French Song” or "Quand Le Soleil Dit Bonjour Aux Montagnes" was written by two American songwriters: Harry Pease & Larry Vincent in the early 1930s. It was first recorded in French by Carmel Bishet (sp) in 1936. A great English version by Gerry Myers & The Bunkhouse Boys was recorded in the mid-1950s.
Although The French Song was a huge international hit for Lucille Starr in 1964, it was the second time that she recorded it; the first time in the early 1950s with then-husband, country music star Bob Regan, but it didn’t do much then.
"Bob & Lucille" recorded several singles 1958 and that met with modest success on the Pacific coast and in 1963 they signed with A&M Records and began recording as "The Canadian Sweethearts". Starr wanted to have another go at "The French Song" with Herb Alpert as producer. It was recorded in both French and English. In 1964, at a time when The Beatles dominated the music charts, "The French Song" was an international hit that made Starr the first Canadian artist to have a record sell over a million copies. She was asked to appear on big American radio and TV programs, like the Louisiana Hayride and WLS Chicago’s popular National Barn Dance show. She also sang the song on American pop music shows Shindig! and Hullabaloo.
She was a mentor to an entire cohort of Canadian female singers. Singer Michelle Wright tweeted: “Any time I had the opportunity to be around her she was bigger than life with a wonderful laugh and so beautiful and down to earth.” Canadian Music Hall of Famer Sylvia Tyson, who performed and recorded with Ms. Starr, called her “simply the best female country artist Canada ever turned out, with an extraordinary voice and great stage presence – so full of energy. Plus,” said Tyson, “she was gorgeous and built like Dolly Parton, which didn’t hurt.” She died after battling a lengthy illness.

Later they were known as The Canadian Sweethearts, Lucille Starr, and her guitar playing husband, Bob Regan. Regan was born on March 13, 1931 and died on March 5, 1990. On ‘Eeny-Meeny’, a rockabilly song, she shows some cool moves with her voice. And she was a great yodeler! In fact, she did the yodeling for Cousin Pearl on the Beverley Hillbillies.

King was a long time Ottawa Valley based performer who recorded a dozen solo albums, was married to Marie King, also a well known Ottawa Valley singer from the French side. When he was just 14 he decided to have a career in music. His major influences were typical for his day: Hank Williams, Hank Snow and Wilf Carter. At age 16 he became a solo artist, beating out another Ottawa youngster named ‘Paul Anka’, in a talent show. Soon afterwards Bob joined on as a member of "Mac Beattie & The Ottawa Valley Melodiers". He put his first group, The Country Kings, together in Ottawa in 1954. Later, after an unsuccessful attempt to break into the US market, he formed The Happy Wanderers (which included the talented fiddler Ward Allen). He eventually got married to a popular Quebecois country music entertainer, Marie King, and played in her band after his recording days were done. He died of lung cancer at the age of 55. He left behind a legacy of about a dozen of his own albums as well as several recorded by Marie.

He was influenced by American guitarist and recording studio pioneer Les Paul. In the mid-1950s he set up his own studio where he developed techniques of multi-tracking and distortion, using his own accompaniment on bass and drums, and began recording under the name Jørgen Ingmann & His Guitar. Ingmann's 1961 version of Apache (originally recorded by The Shadows) charted at #1 in Canada on the CHUM Chart

Produced by Walter Ridley, 1960
Recorded at Abbey Road, 13 May 1960
This is the original version of this song. The Pirates’ stage act was theatrical including wearing full pirate costumes (complete with Kidd wearing an eye-patch and wielding a cutlass) which echoed some of their Rock 'n' Roll contemporaries like Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages and Nero and the Gladiators. Other bands did theatrics too, like Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs who dressed in inappropriate Egyptian outfits. In a way, their approach possibly anticipated and inspired theatrical rockers of the 1970s such Alice Cooper and
David Bowie.

Frank Wright: vibes
Produced 1965
b. Toronto May 5, 1929
I first met Frank working at the post office - we were letter carriers in downtown Toronto. Many letter carriers have lead dual lives, doing more interesting things when they aren't delivering mail. Frank was one of these types. The forever young vibraphonist was a family man who used the post office to bring in the dough so that he could moonlight on the vibes, performing with the likes of Henry Cuesta, Norman Amadio, Jim Galloway, Rob McConnell, Peter Appleyard, and Trini Lopez. His musical gurus were Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson. He would play all night and somehow turn up for work at 6:30 in the morning to sort his mail. I worked beside him for several months. I remember him coming in to work one day, dressed in a tux with shoes so shiny you could see your face in them.
"Just got back in from Buffalo, boys."
He would always tell you to take it easy, calm down, relax and enjoy the scenery. If you said something he agreed with he’d salute you: “Right On!”
He retired from the post office in the late 1980s and has taken to playing jazz full time. He currently performs with the Canadian Jazz Quartet.

The band's first full-length album, Introducing the Beau Brummels, released in April 1965. They were included in a 1965 episode of 'The Flintstones' in which the band gave an animated performance as the “Beau Brummelstones”.
Beau Brummels had taken their name from a term for an excessively well-dressed person. The group liked that the name sounded British, and knew that following the Beatles so closely in the alphabet would likely result in the bands' records being placed next to each other on record store shelves. The song has been criticized, however, for sounding too similar to The Byrds in regards to the harmonies and twelve-string guitar licks
