Thanks Ron - did you attend any of the Camp Fortune concerts?

Ron Steeds
I wish. Fifty years ago I was listening to rock music. I put it down to being an ignorant 20 year old

Ian Mackenzie (host)
Well, to your credit, there was some good rock music in those days!

Ron Steeds
You’re too kind. I think it was a pretty accurate description.

Great show and music. Camp Fortune was a wonderful’venue Great show. We missed it too, the #6 Bus didn’t go there.! Unfortunately. A time when CBC had a budget. .

Yes, and someday I hope they dig through their vaults and make more recordings available - a lot of good Canadian and international artists played there.

And I remember with fondness the ol’ no. 6!

All was well done (except a bit of Eddie’s arco bass in the higher register), in my humble opinion…

9:59 PM, July 3rd, 2024
Ian Mackenzie (host)
I agree, a bit grating.

Thanks hillbilly - I’m sure there was good free music in Toronto too! Perhaps Bill Evans passed through on his way to Ottawa!

Great show, Ian! 4,000 fans in attendance for Bill Evans - interesting to hear that figure.
