Dr. J

Came across this and thought some folks might be interested. It's an early release of a couple of songs done by Toronto's Mynah Birds in around 1966. Lead singer for the band was future super-freak Rick James. On rhythm guitar and back-up vocals was a lad by the name of Neil Young.

Motown recently released these songs from their archives.

Your courage will serve you well in the days ahead, Aaron. Stay strong.

A fine, upstanding citizen of the board. I always look forward to what he has to say and look forward to meeting him one day on one of my trips to town.

This would be a great work even if it wasn't the last one done by the man himself.

Absolutely stunning......

Spades are here in Oshawa on the 29th. I wont be missing that.

Just a reminder that this is tonight @ the Velvet Elvis for anyone who's in the neighbourhood.

Yeah good times for sure.

Nice to see Snelly again and Brad, Cully and the Rev and everyone and to meet KevO and Zero (who promptly informed me that all the Principals he knew were pricks...did my best not to add to his list ).

and the tame Toronto audience was a new thing for me... Used to more noise and more dancing taking place. Theres nothing like seeing The Spades at the Montreal House.

Know what you mean, Kev. Lookin' forward to New Year's. Couldn't help but think that Luke would enjoy himself more with a MoHo crowd as well

Still there's something about the Cameron House that I really like and I think the crowd there is only a show or two from busting loose. (I can see why the Golden Dogs did a series of shows there). Hell even i got stuck in a corner at the back for the 2nd set the other night.

That ain't gonna happen again!

As always thanks so much, Brad.

James has been sick for awhile now, but I hadn't noticed he began that show with a call for a doctor hahaha

the things you miss and the beauty of having it recorded.

Nice seeing ya again.

No complaints here.

Johnny Cash - A Hundred Highways

Drive-By Truckers - A Blessing and a Curse

Los Lobos - The Town and The City

Justin Rutledge - The Devil on a Bench in Stanley Park

First exposure to the Truckers and lovin' it.

Happy birthday, Todd!

Have yourself a good one, my friend!

This world is now considerably less funky.

Amen.

Sad news.

In many ways, the ultimate showman

"hit it Maceo....."

RIP James.

In.

Lookin' forward to getting back to T.O. and seeing everyone.

Love the Cameron House.

Merry Christmas, folks!

Happy birthday, Jay!

Hope to see you in the new year.

A real tough day, Cully.

Sorry to hear about this.

It's my understanding in the new year Matt will tour in support of his solo CD. When he does he will not be backed by El Torpedo, but by a number of musicians including Dale Murray and Serge Samson from the Guthries. I would assume Serge will play bass, but, from what I can tell, there's been no permanent change to the El Torpedo line-up. I know there are some promo photos (w/Dale Murray in them) out there for that tour.

hey cool! Good for Matt and the lads.

This means tomorrow I'll be able to list them in the Famous People You Know thread

Thanks for the heads-up, 'ersh.

To one of the nicest folks I know

Have yerself a good one, Caroline!

Great video! Well done!

I absolutely loved this quote:

Someone really needs to smack the fucking stupid out of the entire Canadian indie rock movement.

Now after all of that, bouche has no involvement with the New Years show other than a passion for the show he'll be attending to suceed. What's the big deal if a show gets a sticky or not? If you want something stickied, PM him, I'd bet he'd do it.

Sharon thanks for the clarification on pinning. It's unfortunate that numerous posts and re-asking of the question had to occur before it came. Human nature (my own included) being what it is, folks don't like to be ignored and will, of course, eventually read things into the ongoing silence.

Although it's no one's business, as jambands.ca gets into more show promotion (The Slip???-altho not in the end I guess - The Code Talkers? GroundHog Fest? etc.) it's important for folks to be aware of the relationship between that and use of the forum, so there aren't misunderstandings and assumptions. Thanks again and yes we do appreciate the effort that you and Mike put forth on behalf of all of us.

My thoughts amd my condolences go out to all of Marcel's family and friends. So very sad.

May you find strength in each other and comfort in your memories of Marcel.

Why is this 'pinned'? Do all the NYE accouncements get 'pinned'?

Why wouldn't the NYE show @ the Pepperjack (or elsewhere) be pinned? Is it just their choice not to be?

is this being promoted by the moderators? do we have a conflict of interest here?

hey mooose welcome to the FAQ thread (where questions are asked, but seldom answered).

Good luck.
