I know this because I drive his Tour Bus when he is touring through North America.

You mean you drive the narcoleptic express, do his fans over here need sort this of help?
On a more contemporary note Huge Cornwell played Vancouver to a rapturous response a few weeks ago, so there is some Hope for Canadian music taste.

Hugh was still doing his stuff back in '81.

I definitely knew Spandau Ballet (had a CD), UB40, and ELO (saw them in concert once). I think I have most of the ELO CDs that were released in the US. :-) If they made it to Alabama, I know for sure they had to have made it up here in Canada. How much more and varied music they played here vs. Alabama was one of the first things I noticed, despite the stupid Canadian content laws. My husband thought he had entered a time warp when he would come down there to visit before I moved.
