CKOS-CICC news in Yorkton had a different opening from all the other Saskatchewan Baton stations. As I recall, we were still calling the local news, "Teleforum News" in 1992. This was about two and a half years before the BBS name and logo became our on-air identifier. I was especially happy...

Winnipeg still has one standing example of the Safeway store at 1:02, but it hasn't been occupied by Safeway in more than 40 years. It's at the corner of Corydon and Stafford and it houses a Rexall/Pharma Plus drugstore.

I like that Santa's village at what seems to be the corner of Redwood and Main came complete with a giant Carling's Black Label sign. As I remember, that sign lit up with some very cool neon at night!

That cool Epiphone Swingster is hard to ignore! I'd go for the orange, though.

A previously posted cut of this same track was accompanied by scenic shots intercut with what I can describe only as cheesy, "sword and sorcery" inspired 70's van art. That says Chick Corea to me, all right! That version was removed from Youtube (unfortunately!)

I only want it for the lens. Any possibility you'd ship to Canada?

This song always reminds me of "It Never Rains in Southern California" by Albert Hammond. Not exactly sure why. In any case, "Secret Smile" is a gem on an underrated album.

Anyone know where the footage of the Plymouth came from? Looks like a commercial for the '69 Sport Satellite, crossed with an anti-joy-riding PSA and the opening from "That 70's Show".

Saskatoon by way of Atlanta, GA and 2011 by way of 1973. That aside, "I Don't Know" is suddenly my new favourite song. Gibson should sign them to endorse the Firebird.

This is mistakenly captioned as Yorkton, ON. It was recorded at CKOS-TV right there on Broadway Street in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. I co-hosted this program (the Yorkton segments anyway) for about a year and a half between Feb. 88 and May 89.

This reminds me of CITI FM in Winnipeg in the 14 months or so after they went on air (April 1978) and before "Bro. Jake's" anti-disco movement ended much of the innovation and variety the station had become known for among my high school peers. That magical period introduced me to this band and ...

Our seven year old (Food Network obsessed) son asked for and received an Imperia pasta machine for his birthday in June. My wife, my seven year old and my nine year old son and I decided to try it out this past Saturday. Remember that we have absolutely no experience at this. One viewing of t...

I'm an instructor (post-secondary) in A/V production. Whenever the boss wants a DVD showcasing student videos that she can take on promotional jaunts for our school, I put Blue Blood under the title slates that precede each cut. I wonder whether any of the high school-age kids who see it appre...

He forgot the movie, Blue Velvet, in which Dennis Hopper's character, an extremely bad guy, drove a Charger (cant' remember the year, though).

This tune is getting some decent radio exposure across Canada on CBC Radio 2. That's where I first heard about two months ago. Even my kids like it.
