- "Caberets" 600 people in a large hotel room listening to "LIVE" music with the likes of Chilliwack on stage.
Remember when..
Listening to a cheap am radio ( I think it was called a flavour Radio bought a Radio Shack) and waiting for
(Seasons in the Sun) sung by Terry Jacks.....
Crap!!!!! I'm old....Thank to all the sp's out there for keeping me young...You're all the best.
We had joy, we had fun, we had Seasons in the Sun......

I remember saturday morning cartoons like Mighty Mouse and Tom and Jerry. Now, because of all the folksy racism and excessive violence that exists in them, they probably aren't allowed to show them because it's not PC. You know, back in the days when people had common sense.
remember when...
Walking down Georgia Street...admiring all the ladies (SP)
near the Hotel Georgia.

Dodging hotel security heading up to a Ho's room at The York.
The Retinal Circus on Davie.
The Oom PaPa at the foot of Main.
Playboy @ $.75.
Minimum wage @ $1.25.
Whistler when it was Alta Lake. Lots of trees, no road, no skiers, maybe 50 people living there.
Terry Jacks playing with the Checkmates at The Shanghi Junk, before he met Susan.
Tommy Chong's band Three Niggars and a Chink, playing at Papa Chong's.
Oil Can Harry's and Dirty Sal's Cellar.

...as did Chilliwack, Trooper, BTO, and Bryan Adams. Maybe April Wine as well, but that's kinda foggy.....
Vancouver was quite the fertile spawning ground for several big acts.
Bomb shelter? Who needs a bomb shelter?! Just "Duck and cover"!

Remember when you were too young to play "remember when"?
Are you sure about BTO playing high school dances? Randy Bachman was already very famous from the Guess Who. I cant imagine him playing a high school dance after that.
I wasn't even a thought back then!
So for the, ahem, "younger" set:
Remember when you got your first Cabbage Patch Kid? (Mine was named Corrine Samuella - LOL!)
