Hi Wally!

Wally
Enjoyed that French Vanilla song, hadn't heard if them before

7:00 PM, January 16th, 2021

Great cover of See Emily Play, that's probably hard to find?

7:08 PM, January 16th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
In announcing the set list I misidentify the Bowie song (as its B-side)...

7:10 PM, January 16th, 2021
Wally
In talking about Bowie and covers, I just picked up a surf tribute to Bowie, "Ziggy Played Surf Guitar" on Cordelia Records

7:13 PM, January 16th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally the cover of See Emily Play is on the comp Pebbles 14, and a Yorkville records various artists album from the 60s CTV program After 5. The 7-inch was on Arc, the same label in Toronto that put out budget albums of popular or contemporary cover tunes by mystery bands (one was The Shadows... not the UK band

7:15 PM, January 16th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally that Cordelia comp sounds cool

7:21 PM, January 16th, 2021
IanJ
Wally, you probably know of the Clash surf tribute too. "Charlie Does Surf".

7:27 PM, January 16th, 2021
Wally
IanJ, yes I've heard of that Clash surf tribute and have searched for it, but sadly have never been able to locate a copy, it's still on my wants list.

7:30 PM, January 16th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
I'd like to hear that, Ian... apropos of nothing I'd also like to hear the Rockabye Baby Lullaby Renditions of WuTang Clan

7:30 PM, January 16th, 2021
Wally
