Stuart McLean 1948-2014 Stuart was a family friend, especially of my brother ItChe. He did a story about my brother in May 2014, you can hear it here. He also wrote a wonderful tribute to my Mom. And one more story about friends and family, when my friend a colleague Mary lost her engagement ring diamond. The CBC story about Stuart is a good summary of his wonderful life and Billboard also mentions his time at Camp Kanawana. Their site has a link to make a donation to the camp in his honour. A CBC radio program "Canada's Storyteller: A Tribute to Stuart McLean". Sundays at noon just aren't the same without his stories. Remember him when you cook the turkey at Christmas. |

Mike
O'Reilly, June 2, 2021 Also known as Mike, Bolt, Cecil and Banjo. Back in my univeristy days we'd see him as Bolt Upright and the Erections. He also had a serious group, Cody, with an album called "Alive and Still Pickin'". We often crossed paths on stages around town. I made at least two recordings of him that you can enjoy here. One at Camp Fortune and the other at my high school, St. Pat's. Turn the volume way up loud for this one. Read more here. ![]() |

Gord Downie February 6 1954 - October 17, 2017 The 10-city, 15-show blitz across the country started in Victoria and ended in the Hip’s hometown of Kingston. The final show, on Aug. 20, 2016, was held at Kingston’s K-Rock Centre on 1 Tragically Hip Way and counted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau among the attendees. “Gord said he had lived many lives. As a musician, he lived “the life” for over 30 years, lucky to do most of it with his high school buddies. At home, he worked just as tirelessly at being a good father, son, brother, husband and friend. No one worked harder on every part of their life than Gord. No one,” the band’s statement said Wednesday. CBC article here |

Chuck Berry October 18, 1926 – March
18, 2017 Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive. Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music. http://chuckberry.com/ |

B. B. King 1925-2015 BB King, who has died aged 89, was the most influential blues musician of his generation and the music’s most potent symbol. He represented the blues as Louis Armstrong once represented jazz, a single performer who could nevertheless stand, and speak, for the whole genre. CBC news I saw him at BluesFest 2014 and he was still great with the one note melodies. "The Thrill is Gone" |

Taylor Mitchell 1990-2009 Praised by such Canadian luminaries as Lynn Miles, Justin Rutledge, and Michael Johnston, Taylor has just released her debut full length recording “For Your Consideration“- a collection of mostly original songs that showcases a range of styles, from folk to country-rock to pop, and reflects the diversity of her talent. In 2006, Taylor met Suzie Vinnick, a Maple Blues award-winning artist. The two forged an instant connection, and went on to co-write two songs that appear on “For Your Consideration”. |
