Hey ho! Oh, small likely typo, cut 3, 'nevous' -- probably 'nervous'.

1:42 PM, July 9th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Thanks Benoît. You've got a good eye.

Also, I notice a rogue motorcycle song's crept into the Keep A Knocking segment. Now that one's a guess.

1:50 PM, July 9th, 2025
Renny G (host)
It mixes well with the original version of Keep A Knockin' and it leads into the next theme of motorcycles.

1:53 PM, July 9th, 2025

Ah. Good. Don't want to be too much of a smartypants.

Tough to beat Little Richard on this!

Renny G (host)
He tried to claim he wrote the song, although there were a few versions of it recorded since it had been written.

I once saw a triple documentary -- on 3 different rockers -- and he was one of them. The camera followed him around one of his shows for a good half-hour. Totally paranoid fucker. Amazing. "They're trying to keep me away from the people", or some such, at one point. But fantastic. Amazing. Crazy. Not surprised he'd 'fantasize' having written it. To be nice.

Have you seen his performance at the Toronto Peace Festival in 1969? He totally rocks it. His version of K.A.K. is 14 minutes long.

I saw Chuck Berry in Montréal outside, i forget the name of the friggin festival like à million people near bus station for some reason. He was late, out of tune, fucked up everything and was extremely rude ro the band wich was Marjos back up band à really tient excellent blues rocks band tha played with Bob Harrison, Jim Zeller, tv show and such. Total asshole

2:17 PM, July 9th, 2025
Renny G (host)
I read Chuck Berry's autobiography. I wish I hadn't. I try not to think about a person's flaws when I play their music and Chuck Berry was a letch.

Speaking of Patrick Shanks: "Not interested in the Bluesfest crowds? We’ll have music and comedy this Friday in a small air conditioned room. I’ll be playing a solo set of my songs on guitar alongside some cool comedians and a very fine band. Join us at Anina’s Café, just off Montreal Road in Vanier. Anina’s is a lovely event space with coffee, booze, snacks and friendly folks. $10 advance tickets (cheap!) or pay as you go. We are performing a variety show during Bluesfest. Are we crazy? Yes. Crazy about showing you a fun time!"

Hey Frankie. Always glad when you show up.

My dad used to ride a motorcycle when he lived in England and his brother was a message rider in Burma during the Second World War. My dad told me that back then, going a hundred miles an hour on a motorcycle which wasn't easy on those old motorbikes, was referred to as "pulling a ton".

I think I have been to Anina's Cafe. I just might show up for that if Drake is doing ok to leave alone for a few hours.

Patrick used to have a great local band called the Knurlings. They were a 60's influenced garage band.
