DevO Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 This short little questionnaire with Greg Keelor from the new Exclaim has me grinning ear to ear: clickety click! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Nice Article. Years ago I worked at Lake Louise on the Bell Staff and one of the "lifers" knew both Greg & Jim. They were touring and finally stayed at Chateau Lake Louise were they both worked. So they pull up in the busses and Jim Cuddy's driving a van packed with gear. I met them at the door and Jim politely asked if I could park the van full of gear. Man, it was like "Super-Band In-A-Box". So I park tha van and return the keys to him and he passes me a healthy tip which I tried to decline to which he replied "I used to work here and I know how lousy the pay is." Then Greg passed a couple of tickets my way for the concert in Banff. Bob Wiseman was still playing with them at the time.All I can say is what a great bunch of people and musicians. And a very funny moment when Greg forgot the opening verse to "My Dark Angel"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 They are a great band to see live. It;s just one great tune after another and the GUITARS THEY PLAY!!! (sigh.....) Oh, the guitars!Unfortunately around here they always play Hamilton Place, making for a very stuffy and reserved crowd. Which is a shame because when they gather a head of steam, Blue Rodeo can really rock!Keelor is a treasure. His new album is very good actually. Just very sombre.

\/\/illy Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thanks for the new tag-line. I love it.Keelor's new album is excellent. The production quality is a little rough but I think that actually 'helps' the emotion come across. I think I'll put it on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Q: What makes you want to take it off and get it on?A: A big bonfire, lots of music, and a variety of intoxicants.Sounds like he'd have a blast at CTMF! Especially with some of those fires back in the Frontier Town days.I'm pretty sure that Blue Rodeo has actually played at Izzy's a couple of times.

dave-O Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'm going to see Blue Rodeo tonight and it's been years since I've seen them. I scored amazing seats from the pre-sale, sect. 34 row E, check out how they're configuring the arena... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
