Looking Back-Anne Murray

[AndyF]

Though a friend of mine in another parish is an avid Beatles

Could the claim by one member that they were more popular than Jesus have something to do with that.?

Glan Campbell took her under his wing. At that time he had some pull and got her noticed.

Ann Murray. Hubba, hubba. :love9:

Not all! Though a friend of mine in another parish is an avid Beatles fan and we get together with a few cups of wine and play "Rubber Soul" as loud as we can

One gentlemen, also in this same city, likes Jimi Hendrix a great deal!

Still another, God forbid, likes opera...ugh!

Yeah, Hendrix. Damn good stuff.
My favorite opera stuff is Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" from the "Ring" works.

Funny thing that, totally taken out of context by the media! What John actually said was "I think The Beatles are more popular with the kids than Jesus is." And he was right for the time!

He wasn't saying this was good, or bad, only making an observation on what he thought an odd situation that young people paid more attention to what The Beatles said then Jesus Christ.

 

[eh1eh]

to be honest I do't think Anne Murray would have gotten anywhere is it wasn't for the Canadian content rules way back when....

That was the main reason you heard so much of her...Radio stations were forced to play a percentage of Canadian music, there were few Canadian artists so voila!! she go played...along with Gordon Lightfoot, Buffy St. Marie, BTO and April wine..none to good but at that time..all we got...

We b much better at Music now!!

I'm pretty sure we still have Can Con regs for air play. This is one of the reasons we have better music now as the regs forced development of an actual Canadian music industry. Now we have Blue Rodeo, Tragiclly Hip, Colin James, and more.
I agree 'we b much better at music now'. :toothy8: :toothy8:
