Very smooth indeed. Just another hidden gem inhabiting the Canadian music scene circa 60's and 70's.

[angusthethird]

"The Big 8- CKLW! Ten after the hour and you got Mike Kelly, with Copperpenny and Sittin' On a Poor Man's Throne...maybe I can hit the lottery and abdicate!"

Sounds like something Mike would say in those days, right?

RIP Mike. RIP Big 8.

Great stuff! Do you have "You're still the one"? A great and very underated band.Kenny Hollis sadly passed away a few years ago.

[radiovixen76]

Glad you like the video and I don't have any more Copperpenny right now, but I am in the process of trying to track some down, so keep checking back.

[daldaldal666]

Hi...I'm Bill Dalrymple. Bill Mononen and I (former Copperpenny members) have recently formed a band called "Blue Rock". I play bass, Bill M. plays guitar and Bobby Becker plays keys with Al Shrubsall on drums. We have posted a cut of our first gig here on You Tube "Crossroads" at the Frog & Firkin in Toronto, April 5, 2008. 36 years since we played on stage together. Thanks for your impeccable timing on posting the video.

[daldaldal666]
