act, Jackson Hawke was co-founded in 1974 by Ryan and Bob Yeomans. The two
had originally begun working together as professional musicians in 1963 and
had been managed for a short time by future True North Records founder, Bernie
Finkelstein. Ryan and Yeomans, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario,
had been in an early Canadian garage band, The Amen, with drummer Bucky Berger.
Jackson Hawke's first single, released in 1976, was a double-sided hit called
"You Can't Dance" backed with a version of Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic".
The band's 1977 single, "Set Me Free", peaked at number 54 in Canada, and
went to number 11 on the CHUM Chart in Toronto.

RIP Commander Cody 1944-2021
George Frayne IV, alias Commander Cody b. July 19, 1944 Boise Idaho / d. Sept 26, 2021 Saratoga Springs, NY (77)
Formed in Michigan in 1967, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet
Airmen drew upon influences ranging from Western swing to jump blues. Their
name was lifted from old movie serials from the 1950s featuring space fighter
Commander Cody. They resettled in California in 1969, when a trippy name
like Commander Cody and His Lost Plane Airmen fit well with such groups Quicksilver
Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. They had success
in the early 1970s with “Hot Rod Lincoln" and released six albums from 1971-75.
The band broke up in the mid-1970s, but Frayne (still calling himself Commander
Cody) continued to tour and record, performing with Jerry Garcia, Elvis Costello
and Sammy Hagar among others In 2009, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet
Airmen was voted into Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.

RIP Byron Berline
Byron Douglas Berline b. July 6, 1944 Caldwell, Kansas /d. July 10, 2021 (77) Oklahoma City
Berline started playing the fiddle in 1949 at age five. By the
early 1960s he was recording with The Dillards bluegrass band until he was
drafted into the army. Discharged from the Army in 1969, he joined Doug Dillard
& Gene Clark on the album ‘Through the Morning, Through the Night’. He
played on "Country Honk" on the Rolling Stones' album Let It Bleed. Apparently,
Mick Jagger asked him to record the fiddle part out on the street to give
it a better ambiance. A car horn that was picked up in this recording was
left on the track, as Jagger thought it reflected the spirit of the song.
Berline joined The Flying Burrito Brothers in 1971, recording two albums,
Last of the Red Hot Burritos and Six Days On the Road: Live in Amsterdam.
After the Burritos' breakup, Berline worked with Stephen Stills's new band,
Manassas. Together with Alan Munde, Kenny Wertz, and Roger Bush, Berline
formed the band Country Gazette early in 1972.

RIP Robert David Edwards b. November 24, 1948 Scarborough, ON / d. September 15, 2021 (72) Newmarket ON
Bobby was a legend in the Canadian music scene. He began his
career at 15, and became one of Canada's most recorded studio guitarists.
Bobby worked with artists including Gordon Lightfoot, Glen Campbell, Anne
Murray, Kim Mitchell, Oscar Peterson, Henry Mancini, Kenny Rogers, and Ella
Fitzgerald. In the 1970s and 80s he was the go-to guitarist for the CBC,
and provided instrumentals for the beloved character "Rusty" on the Friendly
Giant. Bobby was asked to perform twice for Queen Elizabeth II, acted as
musical director for the Juno Awards, and performed with the Toronto Symphony.
He said, “I was on with Tommy Hunter, Front Page Challenge, and the Friendly
Giant. During that time I worked with a few musicians like Wayne Newton,
Kenny Rodgers, Bobby Vinton, Sonny and Cher and Lawrence Welk. I also had
the chance to work with Patsy Cline and Chet Atkins.”
When he wasn't making music or spaghetti, you could often find him sitting
in his garden with his dog, Chloe, or being entertained by his beloved parrot,
Pookie.

RIP Brian David Travers b. Birmingham UK Feb 1960 / d. Aug 22, 2021 (62)
Travers was a key part of the UB40 line-up as a saxophone player, arranger and lyricist.
The Birmingham based reggae group found success in 1980 with Food For Thought,
their first UK top 10 single before having hits with covers of Red Red Wine
and I Got You Babe. Travers formed the band with a group of school friends
in the late 1970s, and the lack of jobs in the city led them to borrow the
name of the official Unemployment Benefit Form 40, used by people signing
on the dole. "We had just signed on and somebody said 'UB40' and we all instantly
knew that was going to be the name of the band," Travers told The Telegraph
newspaper in 2010. "Thank God for the dole. We got fed, it paid the rent
and it enabled us to concentrate on developing our careers. Travers’ last
performance was in 2019 at the Arena Birmingham.

PF Sloan b. September 18, 1945 NYC d. November 15, 2015 Los Angeles
McGuire worked as songwriter at Screen Gems where he met Steve
Barri – became partners. Backed musicians like Jan & Dean and grew close
to Lou Adler. Wrote hits for Turtles, Herman’s Hermits, The Searchers. Became
a member of The Wrecking Crew who recorded the music for dozens of bands
in California.
The song references social issues of its period, including the Vietnam War,
the draft, the threat of nuclear war, the Civil Rights movement, turmoil
in the Middle East, and the American space program. The American media helped
popularize the song by using it as an example of everything that was wrong
with the youth of that time. Due to its controversial lyrics, some American
radio stations, "claiming it was an aid to the enemy in Vietnam, banned the
song. The song also drew flak from conservatives. It was also banned by some
British radio stations.

Produced by Terry Melcher, 1970
Recorded at the South Shore Music Circus, Cohasset, Mass
This was the most stable and longest lived of any configuration of The
Byrds, lasting 3 years without personnel changes. The band still had not
made up their minds regarding an album title when Terry Melcher, while filling
out record company documentation for the album sessions, wrote the placeholder
"(Untitled)" in a box specifying the album's title. A misunderstanding ensued
and before anyone associated with the band had realized, Columbia Records
had pressed up the album with that title, including the parentheses. It was
the last real incarnation of the Byrds.

FM basically existed from 1976 to 1996 and at one time featured Ben
Mink. After appearing on the CBC TV variety show ‘Who's New’, FM were approached
by the CBC to make an album, ultimately titled Black Noise, which the group
presumed would be distributed in stores like a normal release. But the CBC
chose to sell it by mail order, and only announced its availability during
several radio shows. A mere 500 copies were pressed. They were best known
for what was called “Space Rock” and by the time they released this, their
third album, they were continuing along that theme with Rocket Roll.

William Alan Shatner b. March 22, 1931 in Montreal
Another Canadian goes into space!
William Shatner was given the job of going where no TV actor had ever gone
before as Captain of the Starship Enterprise, in 1966. He tried to imbue
the character of Captain James T Kirk with qualities of "awe and wonder".
He drew upon his experiences as a Shakespearean actor in Stratford to invigorate
the character, whose dialogue at times was laden with jargon. Not only did
Shatner take inspiration from Gene Rodd-enberry's suggestion of Horatio Hornblower,
but also from Alexander the Great whom Shatner had played for an unsold television
pilot two years earlier. In addition, the actor based Kirk partly on himself
because "the fatigue factor of weeks of daily filming is such that you try
to be as honest about yourself as possible". Shatner wrote that "Kirk was
a man who marveled and greatly appreciated the endless surprises presented
to him by the universe ... He didn't take things for granted and, more than
anything else, respected life in every one of its weird weekly adventure
forms". The show was truly ahead of its time.
Shatner recorded his first album Transformed Man in 1968 of some stuff that
should probably never have been recorded. It sort of mixed up psychedelic
and Shakespeare. Rocket Man came from his third album release in 2011 but
was most likely recorded in 1978.
On August 26, 2021, Shatner announced he would be releasing a new album called
“Bill” on September 24. And now, at the age of 90, he will venture off into
outer space next week – the oldest person to ever have done so. The circle
is unbroken. What goes around comes around.
