Summer and Max Webster

Ah, the late days of summer. Back in the 70's there were many things we did to enjoy ourselves as teenagers, that is in between work. But one of our pleasures was following one of our favorite bands around, and no not the grateful dead. The band was Max Webster, and whether they were playing in Southampton, Port Elgin,Turkey Point or Bala and all points in between we were there to see Kim Mitchell and his band of loonies perform. Their Wasaga beach party's were famous and many a drunken night was had watching those. I know myself i slept on the beach a few times and woke up with many people around me that i did not know. So for those who remember here is a video for you!

Some music for a late Summer day


With a day off and nothing much to do I decided to just listen to some music and relax. So here are 12 albums that suit the mood.
1.Love-Forever Changes[1967] Still the best album from the early psychedelic period.
2.Eric Andersen-Ghosts upon the Road[1988] A album of lost lives and loves from one of the best Singer/Songwriters of my Generation.

3.Loretta Lynn-Van Lear Rose[2004] What a comeback! The perfect blend of country,folk and Rock ably assisted by Jack White

4.Nick Drake-Five Leaves Left[1969] Haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation make this a classic.

5.Richard and Linda Thompson-Shoot Out the Lights[1982] Listen to a marriage fall apart, both artistically and personally.

6.Lenny Gallant-The open Window[1994] East coast singer'/songwriter at his Canadian best.

7.Todd Snider-Songs for the Daily Planet[1994] The Who's My Generation has never sounded so good as on this album.

8.David Ackles-American Gothic[1972] Fighting for the American Dream[and not finding it] "The Montana Song" is a classic.

9.John Stewart-California Bloodlines[1969] The former member of The Kingston Trio makes the perfect country album for the new decade.

10.Laura Nyro-Eli and the 13th Confession[1968] Others may have had bigger hit's with her songs, but the original is always better.

11.John Gorka-Out of the Valley[1994] Alternative Country's leader, "Good Noise" is the best anti Republican song I have heard.

12.Gram Parsons-Return of the Grevious Angel[1974] The grandfather of Country Rock's Finest Moment. Ass kicking country and tender love songs. True American Cosmic Music.
