Canada's international superstarThe chances of an artist having both anumber one single and number one albumon the trade charts concurrently are usuallyvery slim when you consider the effort ittakes to get either item playlisted and ontothe lower reaches of the chart in the firstplace. Gordon Lightfoot recently hit thejackpot in this regard with his album andsingle "Sundown". Accordingly, it was ajovial and talkative Lightfoot that I spoke toearly one morning in the second -floor officeretreat of the duplex on Davenport Rd. inToronto that houses his publishing andmanagement companies.Of course, the first topic of conversationwas the phenomenal success of both the"Sundown" LP and single. He was morethan happy to give us a little background."I've been writing for deadlines for thelast three years and 'Sundown' was oneof the string of songs that I wrote when Ilived on a farm out in King Township lastsummer. I was getting off a tune everydayout there. It turned out to be a royal flush."He laughed as if the very thought of thiswhole turn of events is still a great source ofpleasure to him.

"I was really quite pleased with the way thatit shot right up there. Another tremendoussurprise is the way that it crossed over intothe country market.""Sundown" is now slowly climbing thecountry charts both in Canada and the U.S.and if everything goes well, a number onerecord in that market is not out of thequestion.

PUSH BY ATTICFOR NIGRINIWith their initial release, "Brother & Me"by Flood, established as a chart item, AtticRecords' Tom Williams, is now concentrat-ing on the label's single release by RonNigrini. Williams has just returned froma trip across western Canada and reportsgood response to Nigrini's "Letters", aNigrini original published through Above -water Music-BMI.

Nigrini, a native of Toronto, became in-volved with the rock scene as a memberof several groups including the Coachmenand Dan's Herd. In 1970 he struck outon his own touring coffee houses through-out Canada and the U.S. He graduated fromthis into writing commercials but keepinghis hand in the business with televisionappearances whenever available. Prior tohis signing with Attic, Nigrini toured withA&M's Michal Hasek.

WEA RED CARPETFOR AMERICAWEA recording unit, America, were wel-comed to Canada (July 23) with a pressreception held in their honour at Toron-to's Fantasy Farm. The three -membergroup met with warm applause from in-dustry representatives as they arrived atthe Farm, and after introductions weremade, artists and guests became acquaint-ed. The party coincided with the recentrelease of America's album "Holiday".

Grant Webb, WEA promotion, reports thatprior to the group's appearance at the re-ception, they were interviewed by JohnHanlon of Footprint Productions, as wellas several interviews with radio personali-ties including: Wayne Dion/CFTR, JohnDonabie/CHUM-FM, and Bill Andersonand Roger Ashby/CHUM-AM. Personalmanager, John Hartman, who is also mana-ger of Poco, escorted the group to all ap-pointments.

Post -reception activities included a stopat Nimbus 9 to pay a visit to the GuessWho, taping a session with their producer,Jack Richardson, and the writing of a newsong by group members Jerry Becklye andDan Peek before they left the city.

Prior to their Toronto visit, America wasaccorded another warm welcome in Mon-treal where they played Place des Nations.Returning to Toronto (27) for a MartinOnrot concert at Varsity Stadium, theirsmooth, polished style provided a perfectcomplement to the soft rock styles of thetwo soloists also heading the bill, LindaRonstadt and James Taylor.

Quality promo rep, Gene Lew, got RobertKlein (playing Toronto's El Mocombo) to-gether with WEA's America.

TALKS UNDERWAY FORWAKEMAN/TORONTOSYMPHONY COUPLINGNegotiations are apparently underway fora possible appearance by A&M's RickWakeman in concert with the TorontoSymphony Orchestra and the MendelssohnChoir. Dates being considered are Decem-ber 12, 13 and 14. The Toronto Symphonyand Mendelssohn Choir are reportedlyconsidering the cancellation of their annualChristmas show in order to take advantageof performingwith the young Britisher,usinghis current work, "Journey To The CentreOf The Earth".The Toronto Symphony people becameinterested in Wakeman's "Journey" albumthrough Brian Heatherington, a Toronto -based pop music columnist.Should the concert come off, the expensesfor the Toronto Symphony Orchestra andthe Choir for the three days would be inexcess of $60,000. Add to this the rentalof Massey Hall - or Maple Leaf Gardens,and Wakeman's fee and whatever extrasare necessary, and it could be the mostexpensive - and interesting showcasing ofthe year. To be a financial success thenightly audience draw would have to be15,000 plus, which leaves out Massey Hall.Wakeman has included five Canadian dateson his major North American tour, one ofwhich is the Montreal Forum (Oct 8). Heis also scheduled for New York City (14).

HAMPSHI RE/CBC/A&MON NATIONAL PROMOThe combined efforts of A&M Records andthe CBC along with the personal involvementment of Keith Hampshire has resulted in asuccessful national promotion for Hamp-shire's fall television series as well as hiscurrent single, "Forever And Ever". Hamp-shire's Montreal and Ottawa visits (July18-19) were coordinated by A&M's DavidBrodeur with the label's west coast promoman, Bruce Bissell, handling British Colum-bia east to Saskatchewan. Ron Sinclairlooked after the Winnipeg date and A&M'snational promotion manager, Doug Chap-pel teamed up with John Pierre Gulbertfor a swing through St. John's (Aug 6),Sydney (7) and Halifax (8).Hampshire's fall CBC television series willbe titled "Keith Hampshire's Music Ma-chine" and will feature his new backupgroup.

THAT OLE CURTOLAMAGIC LIVES ONThe first issue of RPM (February 24th, 1964)revealed that "Nationally, BOBBY CURTOLAhas come up with another winner for TAR-TAN RECORDS. 'Little Girl Blue' show-cases a newer Curtola sound, and already therecord is chart -topping. The next thing forBobby is a BIG hit in the U.S."Now, more than ten years later, Curtola isstill winning and charting the winners (seephoto). Canadians returning from holidaysor business trips to Las Vegas report "anincredible Curtola" - "It made me proud tobe a Canadian when I saw Bobby Curtolastruttin' his stuff at the Sands" - and"Bobby Curtola packs them in night afternight, and he's not afraid to admit he's aCanadian".

Bobby Curtola, Canada's original "Bobby -sox" idol, is perhaps this country's mostunderrated star. He's experienced all theknocks - all the closing doors, but he stillcomes out on top. He remembers theWinnipeg jock who beat him out of thegate receipts for a "sold out" concert. Thissame jock went on to become an executivewheel in a major market - and promptlyclosed the door on any airing of Curtolaproduct. He remembers being blamed byprogrammers for the pressure exerted byhis fan club (75,000 strong across Canada)in attempting to "push" his new records. Allthose disappointments have gone by theboard now and Curtola has graduated intoa top night club draw in the U.S. and Canada.Much of his recent success is due the effortsof his manager/agent Marie Martell. WhenCurtola's manager, Basil Hurdon, died, theshock was almost too much for the youngstar to take. He was into the first fewmonths of his contract with the HowardHughes Organization (playing Las Vegas)and was just like starting all over again",he said, adding, "if it hadn't been for Marieeverything would have fallen apart".Curtola and Martell cultured a lasting friend-ship within the "Vegas inner circle". Amonghis new friends were Pamela Mason, TonyBennett, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others.He has parlayed his weekly earnings into asmall fortune. He now owns a small estatein Las Vegas as well as several sizeableholdings in Canada. Although much of his

time is spent in Las Vegas, he still plays theclub circuit ("honest and ethical operators")in Canada.

One of the first Canadian cities to pay trib-ute to Bobby Curtola was Hamilton, Ontario.This was the year the "Steel City" celebratedits one hundred and twenty-eighth birthdayand Mayor Victor Copps declared a "BobbyCurtola Day" to express "Hamilton's grati-tude for all the years Bobby has been per-forming for Hamilton audiences and forbeing an Ambassador of Good Will forHamilton and Canada".

It was a surprise for Curtola who was playingthe Hillcrest Dinner Club when the Mayorand an entourage of Aldermen entered theclub for an official visit. Curtola was pres-ented with momentos of Hamilton - theofficial souvenir book "Pardon My LunchBucket" and cuff links. He returned thefavours with copies of his album, "Shake,Rock & Roll".

Mayor Copps cuts the "mighty" birthdaycake (200 lbs.) for the end of a week ofcelebrating.

While in Hamilton and through an invitationfrom Jeff Scott, a reporter from ParliamentHill, Curtola attended a Liberal Rally andwas greeted at the podium by Prime MinisterPierre Trudeau.

The excitement generated by Curtola at therally was obviously good for Trudeau whowas experiencing bad press over one ofhis Cabinet Ministers. The Hamilton Liberalsdid well in the final election count.Part of the Hamilton birthday celebrationswas a parade down Main Street to theCity Hall. Parade officials were Mayor Copps,Miss Teen Hamilton, Aldermen Ken Edgeand Robert Gregson and Bobby Curtola.As the parade made its way through thecore of the city and past the many billboardsand marquees displaying messages of "Goodluck Bobby", "Hamilton Luvs Ya BobbyCurtola" etc., one got the distinct impressionthat Hamilton's birthday was secondary -it was "Bobby Curtola Day".

States. One of the most publicized tourswas that of Blood, Sweat and Tears (withDavid Clayton Thomas) and their concertdates behind the Iron Curtain.The trip to Europe by the Canadian brass,does indicate that we are breaking groundin promoting Canadian music internation-ally. I'm sure there have been similartours - but no indication that Canada's rock,folk and country stars have been consider-ed for such a promotion of the Canadiansound.There should be moves made to assure thatgovernments, both Federal and Provincial,continue this kind of international promo-tion, and that the promotional tours be ex-tended, not only to serious music artists,

ballets and opera, but also include popularmusic groups and artists.Too often we hear the complaint that popu-lar artists are the recipients of spoon-fedpromotion while the other art forms areneglected. This is not the situation. Today'spopular artists are still being categorized as"rock and roll" and are being neglected orconveniently overlooked.What better way to boost Canada's musicindustry than a well-rounded representa-tion of Canadian artists touring Europeand other parts of the world - as Ambassa-dors of Canada's culture, both serious andpopular.The Department of External Affairs andthe Secretary of State - as well as Provin-cial Arts Departments, should look atmusic as a medium to promote Canada

and things Canadian.

BOOKREVIEW

THE WASH AND WEAR CANVASby MAURICE FARGE ANDBARRY RUBINLESTER AND ORPEN LIMITED$8.95Finally someone has a look at the T-shirtcraze as a new art form and they've comeup with a book showing people wearingT-shirts depicting the many artistic effortsof the T-shirt art form.

tyilr

hitt Trlppin

Over the past two years, a great deal ofart has been created for the "wash andwear canvas". It is also true that thehuman art galleries have exploited thisart form throughout the world. There isindication that many collectors of T-shirtshave built enormous collections of art.The book is a Canadian origination, andmany of the designs and works of art aredomestic. In fact, you will recognize manyof the models displaying the T-shirts. It isa picture book with little text and, as youleaf through the pages, you will becomeaware of the magnitude of the "wash andwear canvas".You will be particularly aware of the MapleMusic Junket T-shirt, the Edward Bear T-shirt and many others that originated in

Canada.I enjoyed the book and can recommend itto anyone who likes pop -art. I would alsolike to congratulate the people who cameup with the concept for the book and thefact that they took it to fruition. Buy acopy. It's well worth the money.More inventive projects like this shouldoriginate in Canada. SK

What's wrong withCanadian country????

PART FOUR

by WALT GREALIS

Let's make it clear, before we begin thispart of the series, that we aren't attempt-ing to belittle any one record company,artist or group. How you interpret whatyou read is entirely up to yourself. Ifyou're a recording artist or group, don'tbe too quick to fit your record companyinto the category of "do nothing". Likegood businessmen, record company A&Rmen take a chance with many recordingsreleased through their production houseor label. If they were hitpickers, you canbet they wouldn't be part of this smallindustry. Much of the success of a recordhas to do with the artist or group andtheir attitude. Not all the blame shouldbe directed at the artist. There are somerecord companies who shirk their respon-sibility when it comes to following up oneffective promotion for record releases.Probably one of the biggest pitfalls forartists is that of the "ego problem". Whatis ego (egotism)? Webster's Dictionary tags"egotism" as "constant excessive referenceto oneself in speaking or writing....selfconceit....selfishness". "Egoism", the samething is described as "the tendency to con-sider only oneself and one's own interests".There's an old saying, I can't recall whosaid it but, roughly translated, means "Ifyou want people to think well of you

then never speak well of yourself".Being on an "ego trip" is not unique tocountry talent. We all suffer from it -writers, country on -air personalities, mana-gers, agents, and even some of your fanswho like to relate to you. It's an occupa-tional hazard and can be used to your ad-vantage - if you can control it. There'snothing wrong in believing that you havea great talent (maybe even the greatest inthe world), but it would add to your imageif you had someone doing the "building"for you. It would also make you lookbigger if you took the time to complimentother country artists - and sincerely.One of the greatest attributes of U.S.country artists is their ability to assisttheir fellow country artists. Sure, when itcomes down to the line, many of them

are cutthroats, but so many more of themare sincere and honest in their attempts tomaintain a comradery within their industry -a very successful industry. It should alsobe noted that many of the top names inthe U.S. country business got into the busi-ness, the same way you did, perhaps withone difference. They played bars for beermoney and jamborees just for the honour

of appearing before a crowd of potentialfans........ and record buyers. Many Cana-dian country artists are of the opinion thatif they play a penitentiary, every three orfour months, that's enough of their time"wasted", and don't tell me you do it forthe love of country music or because youfeel sorry for the inmates. Try to analyseyour real reason for playing before a cap-tive audience of three or four hundredinmates of a correctional institute and, ifyou can stand the truth perhaps the nexttime you're booked into the pen, you'llapproach it with a different attitude. Be-fore you get too hot there are excep-tions.It might interest some of you countrypeople, who are always crying the bluesabout the lack of a showcase for your

Petralia, Michael T. Wall and Brian Perkins(on -air personality at CHOO Ajax, Ont).talent, that you are driving the jamboreeoperators out of business. Your demands,in many cases, have been excessive and,quite frankly, you have hurt a number ofpeople who have been trying to assist youand your country cousins in building aCanadian country star system.

Do's and don'ts for promo menBefore we go into further discussion ofthe promo team and their job, I wouldlike to outline my opinion of the do's anddon'ts of promotion men.These are things that you know, but some-times you forget to practise.

MUSIC BIZstan klees

DO set up each day so that you have aschedule to guide you through the day andassure that your projects are well organizedand that your day is well spent.DON'T arrive at work with the attitude thatthe day will fill itself and at the end of theday you can feel you have put in a day'slabour.DO plan your projects to assure that every-thing is done on time and that there are nolast minute goof -ups.DON'T rush around at the last minute andget things half done.DO phone ahead and set up appointmentswith anyone you wish to hype or spendtime with.DON'T just wander in, unexpected, andspoil someone's work day. They will re-spect you for phoning and making an ap-pointment. If they continually turn youdown, you really didn't have an ally in thefirst place.DO set up a schedule to call on radio sta-

COLUMBIA PREPARES"BEST OF 48TH" LPColumbia Canada are putting the finishingtouches on a specially priced two -recordAnthology on the 48th Highlanders. Entitled"The Best Of The 48th" the package includespopular titles from past album releasesfrom the year 1964.Columbia's director of merchandising,Julian Rice, is currently setting up a nat-ional sales and promotion campaign withthe label's director of promotion, CharlieCamilleri and director of sales, Bert Dun-seith, to launch the set and to take advantageof the famous band's appearance at thisyear's CNE Tattoo.

POLYDOR DISTRIBUTIONFOR MERCURY'S RUSHRush, a Toronto -based group recently signedto Mercury, will have their product distrib-uted on their own Moon label in Canada byPolydor. The album is already experiencinggood sales across Canada, much of it duethe promotional activities of SRO Produc-tions. Out of a total of 5,000 sales, 3,000units were sold in the Toronto, Hamiltonand London area. Of particular note is thefact that although the album hasn't beenreleased in the U.S., there are reports thatmore than 7,000 units have been sold inthe Cleveland area. Attention was broughtto the album by Cleveland's WMMS, apowerful "free form" FM outlet whosemusic director, Donna Hal per, is a staunchsupporter of Canadian recordings ... whenshe receives them.

The album will be released in the U.S. onthe Mercury label within the next coupleof weeks and eventually on the Mercurylabel in Canada.

tions and trade papers on a weekly basis.Get a time and a day when they wouldlike to see you and try to be on time.DON'T wander into anyone's office andbarge through. Announce yourself to thereceptionist and wait for someone to an-nounce you. That goes for radio stations.Let him turn you down or keep you wait-ing. You at least have shown the profes-sionalism of not just wandering into thelibrary or the control room.DO arrange for lunch or dinner if the situ-ation calls for it.DON'T let lunch or dinner become a drink-ing session. Business is business and socialdrinking is acceptable, but let him getbombed while you drink sensibly.DO get to know receptionists and assist-ants so that you have a foot in the door.The second -in -command can be a great allywhen the time comes.DON'T close doors or start a list of ene-mies. Treat everyone exactly as they treatyou. Your job is promotion. How oftenhas a promo man become an un-promo-tional person by doing more harm thangood?DO pick the best places to eat and drinkwhen entertaining and don't overtip orlose the tact of assuring that you get thebill and leave no doubt about who is pay-ing.DON'T be on the make for someone youwill have to deal with in promotion. Famil-iarity really does breed contempt, and veryoften. Don't take the chance.DO dress and carry yourself like you meanto be a successful record exec. It can havea great deal of effect on you and theperson you are dealing with.DON'T arrive unprepared. Know yoursubject and know the man and his posi-tion. Appreciate his job and his prob-lems.

DO listen and ask questions. If you findsomeone willing to talk and inform you,give him every chance to add to yourknowledge. It will make your plea easier.DON'T neglect the "power people". Theyhave the power to extend your informationabout your product to hundreds, thousandsand tens of thousands of listeners andreaders. Keep in constant touch andkeep your maling list and ticket list upto date. "Power people", conveniently,have short memories.DO learn as much as you can about otheraspects of the industry.DON'T forget there is the right way andthe wrong way to do things. Know theright way. Don't do anything the wrongway.DO know what the other promo men aredoing.DON'T knock the other companies andtheir staffs. Do things better and you cancompete fairly.DO know what records are happening andhow well they are doing.DON'T compare other product to yours.Do something to surpass what is happen-ing to the competition.DO think positively about your company,their product and your job.DON'T be negative and a constant com-plainer.DO become a professional in promotion. Itwill make you unique.DON'T PLAY STAR. The stars are thepeople you were hired to work for. Youcan be the hottest promo man in the busi-ness without being "on stage" every min-ute.

DO a damn good job. Knowing you aredoing your best is the biggest reward youwill ever receive. Improve your self-imageeveryday by your ability and efficiency.(Next week: Cocktail parties, press recep-tions, opening nights.)

LIGHTFOOT continued from page 1

This country acceptance is not so unusualwhen you realize that Lightfoot has writtenmany songs that have turned into hits for anumber of country artists. One of the firstof course was "Ribbon of Darkness" record-ed by Marty Robbins but many other artistsrealizing Lightfoot's writing ability, later didcovers of his country -slanted material."One of the reasons that 'Sundown' is doingso well at the moment on country chartsis because of the number of my songsrecorded by country artists. I must have atleast one hundred country recordings of mysongs recorded by people such as JohnnyCash, Waylon Jennings and others. Ofcourse, George Hamilton IV has recordeda great number of my songs. I think thatprobably some of the country disc jockeyshave been looking for a song that theymight be able to push with my name on itbecause they have seen so many others withmy writing credits."What about Lightfoot's status as a Canadian?"I certainly would like to continue livingin Canada. I live, as you know, betweenthe upper and lower Great Lakes andthere's a lot of beautiful country hereabouts.I like Toronto a great deal. I live here andmy office is here. It's a good base to workfrom. You might think that this causes alot of immigration problems but the factthat all of my ties are with American firms,I can work under an `H-1' visa that allowsme to come and go across the border with-out having to take up residence there. I amgenerating a lot of capital for some largeAmerican firms."It was not always easy for him to cross the49th parallel. If it wasn't harrassment fromInspector Oddjob of the Custom's Office,it was the theft of a couple of his instru-ments. His latest guitar - the big red twelvestring on the "Sundown" album cover - isalways within reach, in fact, when Lightfoottravels he always buys an extra seat at halfprice for the twenty-five year -old Gibson.Many artists, when they reach a certainstage in their career, begin to look into thepossibility of producing other artists. Iwondered whether Lightfoot's proximity tothe Good Bros. of late was a hint that hehad aspirations in this direction."The Good Brothers have been friends ofmine for a long time and I'm simply givingthem a hand in arranging a contract withWarner Bros. I see them generating quite alarge following and I'm trying to encouragethem to get more material together. I have

no financial interest whatsoever and I don'tmanage them or handle their publishing.Somebody had to do some of these thingsfor them. I didn't want to see them getbogged down in some management situation.I have made the presentation to Warner Bros.and they will probably start work on analbum in the fall when they have the mater-ial. I'm the guy whose going to tell themwhen they've got it."If you remember, when Lightfoot did hisfive -concert stand at Massey Hall this year,there was talk that they were being recordedwith an eye to using the tapes as a livealbum. Lightfoot seemed to inwardly winceas he explained how two fingernails sabo-taged the whole project."I had Elliot Mazur, who has producedsuch people as Neil Young and Linda Ron-stadt, come up from the States to record theMassey Hall concerts just to see how theywould come out. Three days before theconcert I broke one finger nail off on myright hand. I was able to fix that with thisprocess with which you can make up a newnail out of a solution. That was alright butthe day before the concert, I broke anothernail.""We spent $21,500 and I produced it myself.I was going to cancel it but Elliot had comeinto Toronto and everyting was laid on. Whenwe finished, we went out to San Francisco todo the mix on it and all I could hear after twodays of putting together this live album wasthose broken finger nails. I could hear myselfmissing notes and the false nail raspingacross the strings and I knew it just wasn'tgoing to work. I had to scrap the wholedamn thing.""There was a good side to this story though.When all's said and done, I didn't really mindscrapping it. I think that in the end, livealbums tend to give away your show and I'mglad it didn't come off."According to Lightfoot, he already has agood volume of material in the files readyfor his next album. With the continuingchart action that "Sundown" is experiencingat the moment, it may be a little while beforewe see another Lightfoot album. Anyway,what an act to follow!

They have been very subtle changes and,because of your acceptance and sugges-tions, there will be more to come.

One of the basic improvements is attribu-table to you the programmers. You havebeen supplying the imput to this sectionand it has benefitted the industry as awhole. All stations, regardless of size, makea contribution to all the other stations, andin particular to their music programming.Information regarding early programmingof new records is a barometer for stationsto follow trends that lead to better musicprogramming. The highest compliment wecan pay to the radio trade is to credit youwith creating an east -west dialogue. This

information, added to the north -southdialogue, that has existed for years, canonly add to the professionalism of musicprogramming.This section is available to you each weekto reflect your information and you in turncan relate this imput to your own localtastes and trends.The combination of music and record sec-tions in RPM has given us the opportunityof sustaining a tip sheet type of formatwithin our publication - not otherwiseeconomically feasible in Canada.With features like Tribal Drum, Help andnews and information, The Programmershas become a useful tool to the musicdirector and the on -air personality.Much of the credit is due the efforts ofrecord companies who have made this alleconomically possible by way of their ad-vertising in RPM.Over the years, the idea of a record andmusic tip sheet for programmers keptcoming up, but the size and speciality ofour market made it impossible to sustainsuch a newsletter.

PROGRAMMER DIEHL -A RECORDING ARTISTIt all began for little Alden Diehl, a fewdecades ago when he tramped the hillsand prairie land around his hometownof Souris, Manitoba. Oneday, he was sure,he would let the world know what it waslike to grow up in Manitoba and experi-ence the summer and winter, andwhatever happened in between.

Alden Diehl, the "prince of the broad-cast business, fights on with his entryinto the record business and an MCArelease "Fight On Manitoba".

First however, he decided to develop hisvoice into a strong vehicle for his ultimategoal. He picked the broadcast businessand coughed and wheezed his way intothe hearts of thousands of listeners in Ed-monton, Prince Albert and Ottawa. Be-sides developing his on -air expertise, hecultured an almost unbelievable know-ledge of the behind -the -scenes business

of his broadcast world. He became suchan important part of the Bassett chainthat he was appointed Vice -President ofprogramming for CKLW Windsor orDetroit take your pick., and one ofthe greatest challenges of his life.Diehl moved into this major major mar-ket as if it were tailored for him. He be-came the "prince" of the broadcast busi-ness just imagine, a Canadian pro-gramming the giant CKLW, one of themost powerful radio stations in NorthAmerica.Having conquered Detroit....or Windsor,it doesn't really matter, they're both onthe walkable (polluted) Detroit River, hedecided to take a crack at owning his ownradio station. Unfortunately, he wasfighting the CBC, and the CRTC decidedon the latter.Now forty-three years of age and GeneralManager of CKY Winnipeg, Alden and hiswife and four children had to get used tothe Manitoba winters and summers. Toprime himself he decided to pen a littleditty which he titled "Fight On Manitoba- Winter" and a companion piece, "FightOn Manitoba - Summer".Bob Burns, a programming exec at CKYand well-known record producer put to-gether some background music with thehelp of Ron McMullin and Diehl's "FightOn" was aired as a feature on CKY.MCA'sVice-President and General Manager,Richard "Tricky Dicky" Bibby was on thescene almost immediately and scored acoup tor ms label - the signing of AldenDiehl, a good song title and almost cer-tain to become a legend in the Canadianrecording industry.

COUNTRY continued from page 7

George Petralia, who has operated theOshawa Country Jamboree for the pasttwo years, is one who is disappointed andhurt over his dealings with some of thecountry music folk. The biggest problemis the fee demanded by the act. Says Pe-tralia: "Some make demands over unionrate, which makes me feel pretty disgusted.I have operated at a loss for the past twoyears. The crowds are good but the de-mands of the artists are too much". Inthe case of Petralia, an internationallyrecognized sculpture and painter whodoesn't need the aggravation of "countrytantrums", he developed a method of pro-moting that brought country fans fromToronto, Peterborough, Cobourg, St.Catharines and the surrounding area tohis Sunday night happening. He ran offthousands of flyers, took advertising onradio stations in Toronto, Ajax, Oshawa,Cobourg, and Peterborough as well asnewspaper ads in the same centres. Largecolourful posters were placed in malls,record bars and wherever they could beused to advantage. He personally mailedbios and records of artists, firmed for ap-pearance, to radio stations and newspapers,all of which added to the excitement andimportance of the Oshawa Jamboree. Heloaded his opening nights with local civic,provincial and federal representatives.Last year, the Mayor of Oshawa officiallyopened his jamboree and he talked manyindustry people into being present for hisbig opening. His ability to draw packedhouses was strictly because of his promo -

A&A's Sam Schneiderman predicts that"Snowflakes Are Dancing" by Tomita onRCA, taken from Debussy's classical piecewill be the hottest thing to hit Montreal.Roblins in Toronto report they could beselling more Bachman -Turner II and EricClapton's "Ocean Blvd" but they're outof stock and finding it difficult to restock.

tion expertise not the artists on hiscard.Petralia hasn't lost complete faith in theCanadian country performer. His dealingswith Carroll Baker, Gaiety recording artisthave been exceptional. "Carroll is one ofthe finest and most thoughtful countryartists in the business", says Petralia,adding, "She is always available to pro-mote country music first and herself sec-ond". Sweet Daddy Sikki, who records forPeriwinkle is also high on Petralia's list of"greats". Petralia tags him "A gentleman.He packed the house and went out of hisway to help us. He mixed with the crowdand told the audience how great the otherartists were. Maybe that's why he's a starand the others will probably never makeit"As an added incentive to artists appearingat his jamboree, Petralia went to the ex-pense of designing special plaques hon-ouring these artists as well as industrypeople - another Petralia promotion coup(record company presidents, representa-tives from. Performance Rights Organiza-tions, press and radio, attended shows).Adults pay $2.50 to get into the Oshawajamboree. If he has a full house, threehundred or a little better, minus the free -bees (wives, girlfriends, moms and dads,sisters and brothers, bank managers andneighbours of the acts), Petralia could beworking with something around $600.Take out of that radio time, newspaperads as well as flyers and posters - and thenpayment to the act there's not muchleft. In fact, Petralia's first year netted himan $800. loss. Last year it was a loss of$1000. Says Petralia: "Some country actsare too interested in ripping off the oper-ator rather than building their image andtaking advantage of the promotion builtaround the Jamboree. I don't want them toplay for nothing, but I wish they wouldjust consider the operator and how muchit costs to build a showcase for them. Imay not run the jamboree next season,because of their attitude, and I know ofseveral other people who are also consider-ing closing down their jamborees".Petralia is just one promoter. Think of hissituation on a national scale and perhapsthen you can figure out for yourselves howthe "ego trippping" can damage if notdestroy the Canadian country industry.(Next week: Do you have a leader fora Canadian Country Association????)
