We welcome to the pod, Winnipeg's own internationally-acclaimed, award-winning member of Rock 'n Roll supergroup Bachman Turner Overdrive, Mr. Fred Turner. I recently caught up with my friend and neighbour, Fred Turner. Throughout his lifetime he's been a major player in over a dozen bands dating back to when Winnipeg was known as "The Band Capital of Canada". We spent our time together reminiscing about our love for music as well as his other passions, including repairing and restoring classic and vintage vehicles. We covered a lot of ground and yet have plenty more to talk about. I look forward to having him back for another episode in the near future. Truly a class act. I hope you enjoy our talk as much as I did and, as always, thank you for listening!

Here it is. Episode #2 of my tribute to the memorable music from the early 1950's to the mid 1960's. This one is somewhat summer themed. I'll start with the Theme from a Summer Place by Percy Faith and then ... well, why waste time with me telling about the music that is sure to conjure up warm and happy memories of days long ago. Listen up and listen in to some of my personal mid-century memories.
Sit back, relax and listen to some of the most outstanding music from the early 1950's to the mid 1960's. With the help of producer and podcaster Greg Gardner, we have chosen some of best songs and instrumentals from that magic time of memory-making music. A true cacophony of crooners, country and even a little classic comedy here and there. Somewhere in here you are sure to hear a nugget of old gold that might even make you a little misty-eyed if it catches you in a melancholy moment. This is the first in what I plan to provide for you - a real sentimental journey. All Aboard.
Peter Paul Van Camp is one of Canada's treasures when it comes to poetry. He is not your average rhymester to be sure. He doesn't simply play with words, he shares riveting stories with his crafty use of the lexicon he has adopted over time, some of it, from a time long ago. The timing and delivery of his particularly pleasing pieces of poetry will have you sufficiently suffonsified until you get hungry for more of his gifted wit and his commanding yet, quirky presence. Listen in as I spend some time with an old friend of mine, Mr. Peter Paul Van Camp or PPVC to some of his friends. Or, "Specs" to some of his even closer friends.
Catching up with Peter Noone, Herman from Herman's Hermits. We'll talk about his early days as an actor and eventually being part of the British Invasion. This was recorded open May 9, 2022.
Jim McCarty is best known as the drummer of the iconic British band The Yardbirds. He was born in Liverpool but grew up in London. It was at school where he met a fellow student Paul Samwell-Smith who would become the bass player for The Yardbirds. They were one of the most seminal of all the British Invasion bands. Their music was a mix of rock, blues, pop, hard rock and even played a big part influencing punk and psychedelic music. The Yardbirds were more than instrumental in starting the careers of great guitarists Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Much of that is due to the innovative drumming style of McCarty.
The Yardbirds were on the charts from 1963 - 1968. After they broke up, Jim McCarty was the driving force of at least seven other bands including Renaissance and Illusion. This, not to mention a successful solo artist. Jim has written, provided percussion and/or produced hundreds of songs.
I tracked him down at his home near the French Riviera. We talked about all the original members of the group, the early days of touring and recording in the U.K. as well as in the U.S. and what life is like for him now after the passing of his beloved wife Elizabeth in 2020.
Jim McCarty is the only original member of the Yardbirds to appear in every lineup. At 78 years old, he is still playing and touring with The Yardbirds. Tune in for an interesting conversation with Jim McCarty and some of the outstanding music he and The Yardbirds created.
An interview with Colin Blunstone, one of the original members of the seminal British Invasion group The Zombies. This podcast was originally recorded in August of 2021. The Zombies, including the other original member and keyboardist and vocalist Rod Argent recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. It was number 100 on Rolling Stone's 2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Listen in as Jim and Colin talk about the early days and the amazing times they are having still playing all these years later.
