50 Years On – Music from my high school years (1967-1971)
The theme for this edition of Stranger Songs is "50 Years On – Music from my high school years (1967-1971)."
I graduated from high school in Montreal in June of 1971 just over 50 years ago. All of the recordings on this show were originally on LPs released during my high school years, 1967-1971, and that I bought while I was a high school student.

What a difference a decade makes, Mike. I graduated from high school in '62; the hits from the previous 5 years were lyrically shallow and almost none of them were Canadian, with the notable exception of Paul Anka.
