The University of Lethbridge is 50

September 25, 2022September 25, 2017 by webadmin

A few days ago, The University of Lethbridge turned 50 years old and of course, The Lethbridge Herald ran an article on it. So, my friend David Rossiter, who was a photographer for The Herald for years, posted the article on his timeline. When I read it, I was surprised to see that Billy Nichol and The Bogus Boogie Band played for the opening ceremonies. I was surprised for two reasons, one because, damn, it was 50 years ago and two, it was posted as this was in 1972. Now I could have sworn I was in the States in 1972. I will have to dig back on this. It is probably my mistake 🙂

At any rate, I post it here as a matter of interest. Thanks David!

Flash From the Past – The Magnets

Here is a promo shot from, well let’s see, when was this Dan? 1984 or 85 I think. Anyway, my old and dear friend, Dan Dubé and I started a duo using backing tracks and Dan on keys and myself on guitar. Both singing. Was a good duo and we managed to play quite a bit around the lower mainland of Vancouver and of course, on the island. Bit of a throwback …. Wednesday.

Pay Attention!

Ahem, well, that perhaps was a bit strong. Soonish, I hope, I will begin adding random posts about whatever strikes me …. be it music, politics (not too much of this ), generally commentary … whatever. Let’s have a discussion. So, to start this off, I will post a link here to West Coast Bluesman, Mark Crissinger. I do not know Mark but, he is good and my buddy Dan Dubé played on the album.

An old tune for Gerry

This one is an old Moses song, redone by Sharp Edges. Unfortunately, while I do have a copy of this on a studio reel, I do not have the machine to play it. (Working on that). This is a cassette dub of it so it is a bit distorted and noisy but not too bad.

Where Two Rivers Meet – Frankie Hart

This is a song Rayburn Blake and I recorded for a client in Japan. Actually, he was from Canada but lives in Japan. He would basically send us a rough sketch of music & lyrics and we would piece it together and flesh it out. This is one of those tracks, beautifully performed by Frankie Hart.
