Tuesday Night Open Mic January 17

 


This week the Tuesday Terrors have the following acts on stage.
  • DallasE plays us song good ol' Western music with Cowboy chords.
  • JohnB halts out his lute
  • MartinC brings out his hankies to practice his Morris dancing.
  • Andrew has some middle eastern selections
  • MikeF brings us some heavy metal
  • SylvainR gets in touch with his inner gondolier and strums a mandolin.
  • Andrew returns with some not dinner music
  • Ken has some Italian favourites 

And some semi-live old fart music from me.  The Skydiggers are a hugely influential Canadian band who inspired most of the Can-con (Canadian content) Dallas and I have posted.  Through a long list of failed record companies, partings of ways, lost master tapes etc, they never managed to get the recognition that they deserved.  This is perhaps their signature song played at the iconic Massey Hall in TO (Toronto non-Canadians) in 2018 (yes this Century!).

  1. Good shout on the music Peter, even if I was expecting “I Will Give You Everything”! I saw the Skydiggers play (with Blue Rodeo!) a couple years ago on a summer festival stage, and they were great. Have a good Tuesday!

    1. You’ve had more luck than I on concerts Dallas, or maybe made better choices! It’s probably a coin toss on the two songs.

  2. These musical retros kind of dig into my mind - not something I was expecting on a painting challenge. Elsewhere I mentioned (On Dallas post?) “live at the hope and anchor” compilation album from the late seventies, now this post triggered my memory of micky jupp who was always in the background influencing lots of bands/ musicians- i think he was on stiff records first tour with the likes of Ian dury and the blockheads, Lena lovich and others whose names I forget.

    1. Thanks John. I’m afraid that you do get my old man music tastes as part of the deal. Wasn’t expecting that Dallas and I would have such overlapping tastes.
