[Jets 31]

Don't mind hearing some Elvis once in a while.

 

[Jets 31]

Saw these guys a couple of times at the Whiskey in LA , they were very good and you can't go wrong with a song about Jane.

 

[UFO]

It's been a tough day at the office recently. something to lighten up the mood

 

[Jets 31]

Love Shaggy, time for some fun.

Remember this song as a young kid from when we used to go roller skating.

 

[Jets 31]

Such a great cover by a great Winnipeg band , turn it up.

 

[Jets 31]

And another great tune from Streetheart .

 

[Jets 31]

Another great Canadian band , love the drumming in this.

 

[Jets 31]

One more from Prism.

Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts anyone?

Way more of a BC band for sure. Played a couple of times in Winnipeg but not nearly as much as many other bands. My impression was they played "Central Canada" a lot more and stayed home a ton. Bentall is still huge in BC.

Saw them at the Lamplighter and at "Dick's on Dick's" when they had live bands on occasion in Vancouver.

Absolutely love Barney! Saw him a few times here and I agree, didn't play here nearly enough. Saw him at the Pyramid, McPhillips Street Station...I believe one other spot here too?

Did the All-Canadian thing a few years back and saw Blue Rodeo at the Burt one August evening, flew next morning to Penticton and saw Barney at Peach Fest next evening...two of my faves!

I was listening to some Streetheart just today along with some Harlequin, Pumps and Queen City Kids.

Love all of those bands, if they were from America they all would have been very popular because they would have gotten radio play in the states.

 

[Jets 31]

Couple more from Streetheart from one of the very first albums i ever bought.

 

[Jets 31]

Streetheart was one of the very first concerts i ever went to in the Winnipeg Arena and Kenny Shields came down on a little stage from the top of the arena singing this song,i thought it was so cool.

 

[Jets 31]

Good tune.

 

[buggs]

Captivating, stunning. The range, the power. Had a crush on her from before I knew what a crush was.







Some of you know at least one of the band members songs, though you may not know they are his.

She's mine... dirty old man...

And you posted this at 1:32 am...

I called it... I asked you if you were up late...





Oh... and Linda Ron'...

This first one from Her debut had me... same here... total crush...



And this one was another... great montage, not live, but shows her... totally natural beauty... and what talent... and the bonus... Warren Zevon was the writer of the tune...

 

[John Agar]

As @buggs would say... I like you better when you have been drinking...

In that vein... let me continue...

I was lucky enough earlier this week to stumble upon a breaking Ticketmaster event in Winnipeg...

I acted quick and booked the Burt Block Party, August 22nd at the Burton Cummings Theatre... except it's an out door stage in the parking lot..;.

Blue Rodeo, Indian City... and the band I linked from... Skydiggers - a pop up came up... this concert...

It's an anniversary gift to my lady and I... my lady loves Blue Rodeo...

Here are those bands in that order...

 

[John Agar]

And further to the Anniversary...

This is for "My" girl... My girl...

 

[John Agar]

One of my favorite songs and artists who understands the power of lyrics...

I always self reflect... I know that would sound strange for HF peeps... this track... is who I was years ago... and when appropriate... again it reflects me when necessary...

 

[John Agar]

In vein with the previous lineup of tunes...

Not a track I would have originally been turned on by with this artist...

But as the years have rolled on and I have listened to his massive book of music...

Amazing...

 

[John Agar]

My Dad was a jazz musician...

It's in my blood...

When this came out... it hit home... real musicians folks...

 

[John Agar]

Further to that jazz base... G. Raff' was one slick cool sounding dude...

And his band was extraordinary... two smooth tunes...

 

[John Agar]

Since I'm onto throw backs...

Here is a band that I think was brilliant... ahead of their time...

The way they mixed their tracks... the willingness to vary their sound... take risks...

And kill it...

Here are 3 of many great tracks... I gotta go eat...







And I lied... here is a 4th... so good...
