Thanks for playing MTL tunes. No vocals on the Condition track ? 1985-86, Condition were our neighbours. With Julia on vocals. Ray Condo as well, neighbour, downtown MTL... Memories...

It's not for a mother to decide if her son is cool hb's mom! The glasses know!

Ray Tremblay played bass in The Secret V's. Would become Ray Condo, in MTL...

Fun Condition connection robert. It was indeed an instrumental. Would have played one with vocals had I known it would have reminded you of your one time neighbor!

Condition are great. Those records got regular play back at the Aloha Room. It suited the vibe.

4:50 PM, March 14th, 2022
Chris Ikonomopoulos (host)
For sure Ben!

Yes, Ray's pre Condo life. I will correct myself here in the chat as I erroneously mentioned on-air that Ray played guitar in the Secret V's. It certainly was the bass! Thanks for your musical knowledge robert.

I'll be "that guy" and point out that "Dick & Dale" should be "Dan & Dale" (the Sun Ra offshoot). Freudian slip of sorts? ;-)

Human Error #2 for me during this show. Thanks Ben. It was indeed a slip, but i wouldn't go as far as Freudian! I found this copy of the LP at a [Howard's?] Pawn Shop about 20years ago. I did not know the Sun Ra and Blues Project connection at the time but did think Dan & Dale was a cover for Dick Dale considering all the fuzzed out surf guitar. I guess that false association has stuck in my head after all these years!
