I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion concerning the history of Dark Horse Records and the songs and albums and nice conversations about the life pf George Harrison and I am looking forward to buying and reading this fascinating book. I bought most of the Apple Singles that were related to the Beatles, like Jackie Lomax, Sour Milk Sea, Mary Hopkin Goodbye, Badfinger Day After Day, I bought most at Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street, Toronto when I was in Radio School on King and Yonge in 1971-72. I do like you talking about the Canadian music scene. Neil Young had his first album with the song "The Loner" which was fantastic and the rise of folk music in Winnipeg to Toronto to Halifax was amazing. During those days it was George Harrison with the double-sided single "My Sweet Lord" with "Isn't That a Pity" both were Number ONE on CHUM Radio and it was played so much ! I bought the All Things Must Pass Album and played this album on my Radio Show as a DJ in Kapuskasing, Ontario not far from Timmins where Shania Twain was raised. Up northern Ontario is an abundance of Country Music and French Music. But also, Rock music with teens on "Teen Night" was huge. The solo Beatles records I bought and listened to thousands of times during the Seventies. 33-1/3 album, Extra Texture, Dark Horse LP, Material World, Ringo to Paul to John to George so much music and I did play equal to Beatles songs. George was loved in Canada. He was well received at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto during his Tour in '74. I was at the Hockey Game and they kept playing Sue Me Sue You Blues just a day after George's Live performance there. No wonder songs like Blow Away went to the # 5 spot on CHUM. Crackerbox Palace did just as well and This SONg is much like It's Only a Northern Song, and the satire George states in his lyrics is Lennon influenced in his lyric writing. I have to admit George Harrison has touched me most in looking at life itself at the world around us in a better attitude toward God and mankind, more than the other three, for his music will live on. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talk.
Terrific conversation thanks gents. George’s material aside, the dark horse catalogue isn’t one I have spent enough time with. Really must rectify that.
The band Jiva is pronounced with a hard "G" sound, not a "J" as in "GHEE-va". It is a sanskrit word that means "that which breathes". This info can be found on their bandcamp page.
David--I plan on reading Seth's book. It might be tough with the McCartney Legacy Vol. 2 coming out and Luca Perasi's new books. We plan on doing a show on Seth's book on the Things We Said Today podcast sometime soon. Thanks for writing!
I need more on Somewhere in England!
