Graham Townsend - Bully of the Town & Clarinet Polka

[codnostaw]

A genius on this planet or any other !!!!!

I dare anyone on here to despute the following: "He was a true showman and a master musician"

[Burfordfiddler1962]

Some people always find a way to use their narrow minded pointy noses to undermine those who are successful. There are alot of extremely talented individuels out on the streets right now who can't afford to put their talent out into the world. Graham was genuine to the bone and you have to give him credit for getting to where he was (still is) musically in the market as it was (still is) and being Canadian...He did pretty damn good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

Graham Townsend was constantly broke and was always borrowing money for his record deals so I was told. Is this true?

[Garr1984]

@superioitywins I don't know if that is true, but I do know several of the recording companies he recorded for were known for ripping off the artists who recorded for them. Not paying royalties, manipulating the bookwork to make it look like the artists owed the record company money, and the like. So that could have been a source of financial woes, making all those records and never being paid a dime for it. I do know that when Graham Jr. was young, Graham had a day job @ a bottling plant.
