Re: Top 3 Canadian Musicians
That was their second biggest hit.
Some journalists in the class recognized him. I wasn't convinced but after finding a picture when he had lost his dreadlocks I was able to confirm.
On confrontation in the pub he told me that he doesn't talk about it because it's such a waste of time.
That being said there is now talk of a comeback.
You should come down to Toronto! We could mosh pit it!

Re: Top 3 Canadian Musicians
What about Kick Axe? I think I have three of their four CDs, and damn good they are too. It's a shame they fizzled out in the mid 80's.
They had a one-off come-back CD in 2004, which is where I stumbled across them.

Chilliwack was a good band from the 70's; they opened for ZZ Top at Craven here one year,

A former colleague of mine in London, who hailed from Calgary, was a big fan of Chixdiggit. They seem to have remained unaccountably obscure in the wider world.

Re: Top 3 Canadian Musicians
I've worked with pretty much all the artists mentioned here, but my faves have to be
April Wine(for not dropping a note all night),
Rush(just because),
and Walk Off The Earth(for pure creativity).

Not a fan of their music as such, but if you want a really good Canadian music documentary, seek this out:

Just noticed that the Anvil doc is available on Canadian Netflix:

Re: Top 3 Canadian Musicians
Ha! I did better than that. I already had a shed, that’s where the lawnmower lives. So I built a 12’ diameter roundhouse out of earth bags, with a reciprocal roof made from 4” round poles. It’s got a stove inside, and a hammock. Still a work in progress, no rush to finish it as I fear that’s where I’ll then be sent to live like a pathetic old hermit at the bottom of the garden. It’s like a hobbit house, I suppose, but being a Scottish chap I’ve called it The Bothy, and I go up there to smoke my pipe and ponder.
We’ve got 2 dogs and they love to go for a walk round the woods then stop in at the Red Lion for a packet of pork scratchings, so I am forced to have a pint or two while I’m waiting.

Re: Top 3 Canadian Musicians
Would love to but I'm baby sitting Burton Cummings that weekend. Hoping to pass the gig off to one of my guys if I'm honest so I can take the weekend off.
