    As far as I know, there is no Canadian Music Notes file, so this
    is as good a place as any.

Note 268.0                Canadian performers on disk?                 4 replies

    While on vacation in Canada, I attended a musical that dealt with the 
    Canadian music industry over the past three or so decades. Pretty
    good stuff. One of the main themes is, as one would expect, that music
    from Canada routinely gets buried. 
    
    I've heard Jack Scott's stuff before, but I'd not associated the name
    with the music. His tune ``The Way I Walk'' was covered, I think, by
    Robert Gordon and Link Wray.
    
    The music of Stompin' Tom Connors and Ronnie Hawkins was also featured.
    
    My copy of the Schwann catalogue is a couple of months old, but lists
    none of these performers. I've yet to go through all of the anthologies.
    
    Any pointers to disks from these folks?

    Hey Rushie,
    
    This is Ted. You know I've been away from home for a lonnnnng time.
    What, Who is "Tears Are Not Enough"?
    
    This note sounds like a great idea.
    
    
    Ted.

    <<This is Ted. You know I've been away from home for a lonnnnng time.
    <<What, Who is "Tears Are Not Enough"?

	Ted, old son!  I was wondering where you had gone.  "Tears are
Not Enough" was Bryan Adams' (and his producer, Jim Vallance) idea to
respond to the famine in Ethiopia a few years ago - that is, generate
large gobs of money from the proceeds of the video/album/cassette and
TV rights of a musical production consisting of Canadian artists.

	It was a Canadian version of the Bob Geldof effort in the UK.
The Canadians are appear on the video I have include:

	Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bryan Adams, Cory Hart, Ronny Hawkins,
Luba, Lisa Dalbello, Veronique Beliveau, Robert Charlebois, Gord Lightfoot,
David Foster, Platinum Blonde, Lover Boy, etc.

	As I mentioned before, I've got it so can we make a deal?

Pat

	

	For those who are interested in obtaining a copy of the video,
"Tears are Not Enough", you can write to the following address or call
the Montreal order desk of the CBC:

		CBC Enterprises
		P.O. Box 500, Station A
		Toronto, Ontario
		M5W 1E6

or call the order desk in Montreal at (514) 597-4041 and ask for 'Dave'.

	The video is available in Beta and VHS, and in digital stereo.
The cost is $29.95 (Canadian).  Unfortunately, it is available in NTSC
only, i.e. it can't be used with a PAL or SECAM vcr.

Pat

    THANKS TO EVERYONE---I ordered my video from CBC and they were 
    very nice about it.
    
    KTB

    HI PAT,
    
    I'D LOVE TO GET A HOLD OF THE VIDEO BUT AS YOU WELL KNOW PAL IS THE
    SYSTEM USED HERE IN EUROPE SO THERE AIN'T NO POINT IN ME ORDERING IT. 
    
    THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION. HOW'S YOURSELF AND THE FAMILY? WELL
    I HOPE.
    
    ALL THE BEST,
    
    TED

Ted:

	The tape is about 1 hour long, so the total cost for
converting to PAL would be about $30 (the price of an NTSC copy).

	With regards to the rest of your note...I shall reply
via VAXmail.

Regards,

Pat

Note 243.0                HELP FINDING DAVID BOWIE CD'S               No replies

    Can anyone out there help me find some David Bowie CD's on RCA label,
    I know that he has change to Ryko Disc but I'm looking for RCA.
    You might have to try a used CD store.

                   RE: David Bowie CDs on RCA
    
    I'll be in Belfast and England in the next few weeks. I can have
    a look there and get you the price. Then you can let me know if
    the price suits.
    
    
    Ted

                                RE: LIGHTHOUSE
    
    Is there anyone at home who knows where or how I can get hold of
    a audio cassette of the group Lighthouse? I think they were absolutely
    brilliant but like most good things Canadian also underrated.
                                             
    I went to their reunion concert at Ontario Place in 1982 and it
    was one of the best concerts I was ever at. The atmosphere was more
    like a family reunion than anything else.
    
    Hope somebody can help.

    <<RE: LIGHTHOUSE
    
	Ted:

		I have an old album of Lighthouse that I am sure I
	have only played once or twice.  I can put it on audio cassette
	for you and send it over with your mum, if that's alright with
	you.

		Be careful in Belfast, eh.

	Pat (exiled in Kanata)

    Thanks very much Pat, I would really like that. But it seems as
    though this relationship is totally one sided. :-)
    
    I owe ya.

Diane Dufresne - "Diane in Concert"

Last week, I deleted by accident the tape I made when the concert was 
broadcasted here in Europe.

1. Has somebody a tape (that he/she could copy for me - expenses prepayed)?

2. Is the concert available on CD in Canada (I checked - not in Europe)?

    Looking for any information of any kind on a group out of Toronto
    called Frozen Ghost.  Am I the only person in the world who's ever
    heard of them?
    
    Please say it ain't so!
    Helen
    North Carolina, USA

    Well, I've heard of them, liked their hit single "Pauper in Paradise",
    know they've released at least 2 albums, but that's about it...
    
    Otto.

    
    Third album has just come out and it's (IMHO) phenominal.  It makes
    their other work pale in comparison.  I haven't been able to do
    anything but listen to it for the past week, that's why I thought I'd
    see what I could find out about them.
    
    I know they were working on an album that was due for release in 1990,
    and it never made it out.  I sort of was wondering where they've been
    for the last 2 years, I really missed them.
    
    So P/P made it pretty big?  I liked it too.  Only song of theirs I ever
    heard on the radio down here was "Should I See".
    
    Helen

    
    
    Yup, I've heard of them too.  Not a bad group at all, though I've yet
    to hear some new stuff from them...
    
    Greg

    
    The new record is called "Shake Your Spirit" and I got it last week.  I
    was really surprised that the record store had it, I figured I'd have
    to order it.
    
    Where do these boys play?  Are they concert tour league?  If so, and I
    figure they must be, do they open for other groups or are they
    mainliners?  How popular are they up there?
    
    Thanks for any info at all
    
    Helen, who's-completely-blown-away-with-the-new-album

    
    I just had to come in and ask if, after 5 months, can anyone enlighten
    me anymore about Frozen Ghost?  You people in Toronto really have a
    group here you can be proud of, I believe....
    
    Helen, looking forward to more blank stares

    Who ?
    
    Are they any relation to Frozen Muckluck ?
    
    Sorry ... my wicked sense of humour got the better of me.
    
    Stuart who has no idea who frozen ghost are ...
    

    
    Oh, sigh.  What did I say about blank stares?  'Course I suppose it
    beats "Who?  Frozen Goats?"
    
    Check back a few notes.  They're a group out of Toronto.  Rock. 
    Struggling artist types.  And the best I've ever heard.
    
    With a TFSO massacre hanging over my head, I thought I jump in here one
    more time and see if I could get ANY info on these guys before I lose
    contact with the entire world.
    
    Thanks,
    Helen

	Helen.

	I haven't heard any new music by these guys in a long while.

	I suppose they are due.

	Charlie

    
    How about asking the question in TIMBRE::MUSIC conf?

    
    I've been in all the music conferences we have including MUSIC.  I've
    also posted notes in conferences on Prodigy.  Since I've come up with
    nothing, I thought someone up there might know something.  
    
    Oh well.
    Helen
    PS there is something new out, and it's more than  past due....

    Hhm, no activity here for a while...  
    Just wondering if anyone knows of a song called "Snowgoose" , I first
    heard it on Jean Redpath's album "Leaving the Land".  I believe the 
    author is Ralph McNeill.  I'm looking for an original recording and 
    the words. 
    
    thanks.. 
    

    >>Hhm, no activity here for a while...  
    >>Just wondering if anyone knows of a song called "Snowgoose" , I first
    
    I answered this same request in the CELTS Notesfile # 390.24 to which
    you replied in .25.
    
    I suggest that you look in the Internet Newsgroups, such as
    alt.music.canada
