Always enjoy hearing Alan Sherman classic from my childhood, Jeff. Good morning. Hey, I remember your first interview with Mayhem. So happy to hear their show was so well received at Calabogie. I also recall the first time I heard that some folks were planning a festival at the racetrack. I said to a number of friends at that time that it was a perfect environment for a new festival ! Great show this morning......what a treat to hear Johnny Vegas again !!! Like I said..........fab show this morning top to bottom, man !!

OMG cool trivia.......I did not know that S[paceman Music was once Songbird. Losing my touch.......always considered myself a bit of an amateur historian of Ottawa-Gatineau history. Guess the accent would be on the "amateur" hahahaha

Got me again. I did not know Johnny was Barrymore's gatekeeper !!!! I practically lived there back in those days ! Guess I am more of an amateur Ottawa-Gatineau Trivia buff than a historian lmfao. Cool music picks there, Johnny. A real treat having to on with my buddy Jeff !

You're still working on that "stand up" career, Jeff. You are cracking me up this morning; laughing out loud. Great start to my day guys !! Good tunes from Johnny Vegas and good laffs with Jeff.............what more do you want............"rrrrrrrrrubber bisquit" !

Rotters Club...................where I first heard Mike McDonald. Years later I dropped a whole tray of drinks right in front of Mike while he was doing his routine at the Beacon Arms on my first night as a waiter. And next we met again, when I was working doing events and bartending at Yuk Yuks where he became Howie Wagman's favourite comic. Rotters........what a memory.......thanks Johnny.......worth the price of admission today right there lol.

I would rather go toe to toe in an arm wrestle with you tic than challenge you in a trivia contest. As they say, that would not even be a fair fight. You are an absolute well of Eastern Ontario knowledge tic !! I bow in your general direction !

If I did some serious research, I think all of us were in the same place at the same time.
