Canadiana - Canadian music, bands, or performers...

[Deadwood]

Canadiana is for any form of music but it must be Canadian, either author or performer.....


And of, course, we absolutely must begin with Canada's sweetheart, Anne Murray.....

[Deadwood]

These guys used to front an obscure Country Singer who traveled throughout the Southern Ontario area, from Windsor to London to Waterloo. They had no name and when a less-than obscure Folk singer, Bob Dylan, who'd gone electric wanted to hire them he asked them their name.....

This was actually written about a protest over the closure of a nightclub in LA....but it ranks as high as Ohio as a protest song..

Be my guest....Avril is ugly and EVERYONE hates Nickleback.....

[Deadwood]

MY deepest regret of the 1960's is that I could not have Magic Carpet Ride blasting in my ears when I was on my Triumph Bonneville 650.....

then again considering how much Acid I did.....adding this distraction could have been.....

interesting.

:smiley_bar:

[Deadwood]

What astonished me was that American Woman was an anti-American tune.....and it hit the top ten in the US.

Anka wrote so much...you hear a song of his every time you start or stop Windows 7!

[Deadwood]

Here's how the Don Henley tune is Canadian...because Leonard is!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUfS8LyeUyM



I love the line "Everybody knows you've been discrete
but there were just so many people you had to meet
without your clothes.."


It is one of MANY songs Cohen wrote about his wife....

Hope this isn't a thread killer, but this is one that's a part of my misguided youth.

Oh...a lot of videos on You Tube are not licensed for Canada....the one MMC posted is one of them...

Irony - a Canadian tune can't be played in Canada by a dual citizen.....

I have not enjoyed ANY forum or thread this much ever.

When I popped this idea at MMC earlier I figured maybe two, three replies...

And I can't stop laughing

I have met him, back in 86 when Expo was here. He's a great guy...lives in England most of the time now...


And he sure can play!

How can we forget? Not sure if this is actually "Canadian", but my wife and I have seen it 3 times at the Pantagus (sp?) theater in Toronto. Twice in Pittsburgh, but it didn't hold a candle to Toronto's version.

Best fucking live show ever.

I heard Adams on Howard Stern way back, he seemed like a regular guy.

[Deadwood]

This guy got his start because of Bryan Adams....he opened for him at Expo 86 here in Vancouver.

Unfortunately he died several years ago...great guitar player and Adams knew it and backed him, that's what a guy he is...

Ska from Toronto.

[Deadwood]

I heard Adams on Howard Stern way back, he seemed like a regular guy.

He's a great guy! I met him when my friends from California and I were at Expo, eating at an outdoor cafe and he sat down alone at the table next to us. He was little more than a kid then.
My friends had no idea who he was and invited him to join us. He did. He said nothing about himself but asked them all about Palo Alto etc. Then I told them who he was, they looked a bit confused and he rescued them by reaching into his back pocket and gave us all tickets to that night's concert.
I never saw him again, but my AA sponsor knew him well and often said he was one of the nicest men he had ever met.

[Captain Obvious]

Toronto is our favorite spot for a weekend getaway. My wife and I honeymooned in Canada, believe it or not.

We live about 3 hours drive from the Peace Bridge and we spend weekends in Toronto or (Canadian) Niagara Falls. Spent a weekend there this past Springtime.

My wife's not a big drinker, but I remember hitting a place in Guelph, forgot the name of the place - a hotel, they brewed their beer on site. I carried her out of there on my shoulder like a gunstrap.

We were driving up to Toronto one late Friday night and we got sort of lost in the middle of nowhere. Late, after midnight (all the streets are named "King Street") in the middle of cornfields they have a DUI checkpoint. Zero fucking traffic on this road, but I'm sober and have a car full of wife and kids. The Canadian cop looks into my car and asks me where I'm going. I say Toronto, would appreciate directions and he gives them to me realizing that I'm not a random drunk.

So I do a U-turn in the road on my way and I guess the cop sees my Pennsylvania plates and yells at me as I'm driving away "Go Pens".

Don't report me, you can't see anything.

I've tried.

[Captain Obvious]

I have a lot of great Canadian stories, we're very Canada friendly.

So we go up there one weekend and load the car full of beer and wine. Good Canadian beer, not that Labatts shit. Might have 10 cases of it and maybe 24 bottles of wine.

Going through and back in customs is sometimes a breeze, sometimes not so much.

Coming back the guy (on the US side) asks me if I have anything I need to report. I'm not a liar, I just can't do it so I tell him "I have a car full of beer". He pauses and says "have a nice day".

LOL

Three hours and Pennsylvania would put you near where? Pittsburgh. I grew up south of Buffalo and we crossed the Peace Bridge every other week. I used to go to Niagara Falls all the time and was a Bills fan when there were two leagues, no Superbowl.
Was born near Guelph and that would be the Slemin Brewery, Al Capone's hang out in the 30's. I am actually from Elora, just up the road from Guelph. And yes, all towns in Ontario have a King and a Queen Street.
Yes, our cops are polite, if there was a breathalizer stop in the middle of no where it meant there was an event about to let out nearby or they were using it as an excuse to track someone down. The cops here are way different than the US, except the Mounties are corrupt assholes.....tell you another time about a whole forum, dealing with those pricks after they killed a Polish Immigrant at Vancouver international by tasering him nine times..

You're in my hood dude..

And I have a ton of border crossing stories...imagine, its the late 60's, long haired by on a chopper...

Often I would get "where were you born?" And I would say "Kitchener, Ontario." Then they would ask me my nationality and I would say "both". That usually became "interesting".

But get this, long hair, on a bike, dressed like a hippy, moustache and mutton chops and I was NEVER searched!

Good thing too...most times..

Kitchener - we spent some time there but my memory is fuzzy. Wife's snoring beside me alas, she would rekindle it.

Trying to remember - Clappison's Corners, we stayed at a motel there ran by Yugoslavian folks. At breakfast they served "pea meal bacon". Great stuff but I've never seen it anywhere since.

Hiedleburg - ate at a brewpub there back when. Went back 15 years later and wasn't quite the same but not bad.

[MMC]

That's because we're talking about music here.

Yeah thats why I will Skip the Prarie Grass and Stick Noise. Course not many understand what the mental in music is all about.

Whoa...some serious memories there....used to go through "the cut" at Clapperson's corners all the time...just North of Hamilton. The cut is gone now, they leveled it off...hell of a road then

And Heidleberg is about 15 minutes NE of Kitchener, on the way to Elora. It's all German and Pennsylvania Dutch around there...Brubakers and Martins and Abramsons etc....Ahmish they are called in your neck of the woods, Mennonites we call them. I was taught by Mennonites before moving to Kitchener and then to the US.

You're right about Labatt's, but its better than Coors....but I can't have that any more. Used to make my own.....the only thing I miss aboiut being a sober alcoholic is makin' it...

Take it to the banks

You're gonna hafta wait

Hockey, hockey, hockey
Stanley made the cup
And my times up


Like that bro....

It's been a gas.....maybe we need to do themed threads more often.

Time for this old hockey player to snooze too....

Thank ya all..

NP F&L.....Not to mentions we aint done with this one at all. Also there is a Thread up on Music or Bands with Fruits or Foods being associated with the Music.

Course we can do the Same thing With Captioning Photos but it does take people to get the activity going.

Plus there are a couple of threads around for Political Pics. I will get some more music up in here after I take care of some other things this morning.
