CRTC rescinds Shaw and Cogeco pay audio licensesThe idea of pay radio seems to have come andgone, at least for the time being, as the CRTC,in a rare move, has rescinded its earlierdecision to grant pay -audio licences to ShawCommunications (Edmonton) and Cogeco ofMontreal.

The companies were planning to offersubscribers more than 30 channels ofuninterrupted CD -quality music, at a cost ofaround $10 a month. The CRTC had originallyapproved both applications back in June of1993.

However, a trumpet of protest wassounded by both the Canadian recordingindustry and Telesat Canada, who complainedthat the applicants hadn't made a strong enoughcommitment to Cancon programming, thatthe service wasn't solely utilizing Canadiantelecommunications facilities, and that theservices wouldn't be available all over Canada.

In light of these complaints, the CRTCheld a public hearing in April of 1994, atwhich time both Shaw and Cogeco were ableto amend their previous applications.

Cogeco proposed to increase its copyrightpayment commitments and the number ofCanadian -produced channels, which would bedistributed from a Canadian satellite. In return,the Montreal -based company wanted amonopoly on the pay -audio service coveringthe Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario,except for Toronto.

The CRTC rejected the revised Cogecoapplication on the grounds that it would onlybe available in only half the country. TheCommission also questioned the financialviability of the Cogeco proposal.

Shaw had proposed to raise its Canadiancontent level, from 9% in the originalapplication, to 12%o in the revised proposal.However the CRTC rejected the Shawproposal, saying that without the co -existenceof the Cogeco service, Shaw would have avirtual monopoly in the Canadian market. TheCommission also felt that, despite raising itsCancon commitment, the Shaw application

still fell short in the desired use of Canadianresources.

According to CRTC chairman KeithSpicer, "Given Shaw's preference to competenationally with other pay audio services andCogeco's insistence on a territorial monopoly,the licensing of two competing services - theheart of our original decisions - was no longeran option."

Spicer also noted that the Commissiontook into account the concerns expressed byvarious factions in the Canadian music industry.For his part, Canadian Recording IndustryAssociation president Brian Robertson wasfull of nothing but praise for the CRTC' s"gutsy decisions".

Robertson notes that, "The traditionalpath in such decisions is one of compromise,but the government took a precedent -setting

step in originally asking the CRTC to reviewits earlier licensing decision and now theCommission itself has also made a gutsydecision in rescinding the licences.

"This decision is an endorsement of theviews that were expressed to the Commissionat both hearings by the 19 music industryorganizations representing performing artists,composers and record companies. It was theirunanimous view that the proposed serviceswere merely franchise pick-ups of US servicesand exploited tens of thousands of soundrecordings without compensation to the rightsholders. They additionally failed to programany meaningful level of Canadian content."

Robertson concluded that, while CRIA isnot opposed to new technologies, suchinnovations must take place "in harmony withthe recognition of the rights of creators andproducers."

Film and TV scores a viable option for composersThe movie soundtrack has become a powerfulmoney-maker for the recording industry in thepast few years, and the financial potential forfilm and television composers has never beengreater.

In light of this, the Canadian IndependentRecord Producers Association (CIRPA) andthe Canadian Independent Film Caucus arepresenting They Shoot, They Score, a day-long symposium on the growing industry offilm and television composing, sponsored bySOCAN. The symposium takes place Sept. 9at Toronto's Sutton Place Hotel.

The symposium will bring togetherrepresentatives from the film and musicindustries in a day -long discussion of thisgrowing sector of the music business. Therewill also be workshops designed to aid thebudding film or TV composer in learning theins and outs of the profession.

According to SOCAN' s Victor Perkins,who oversees film and television scores forthat organization, the business of televisionand movie music is a large one indeed.

"Many composers who get involved in

film and television productions end up seeingthose productions getting sold to manyterritories around the world. These thingshave a way of taking on a life of their own,unlike a pop song that climbs the charts,peaks, and dips off."

Perkins says that the increasing numberof specialty services and outlets for televisionand film productions has created an equallyincreased demand for scores, which could bea marvellous opportunity for a strugglingcomposer.

"We have writers who aren't knownmuch outside the Canadian film community,who've written particularly for animatedproductions that have generated a tremendousamount of money around the world. When youconsider that most cartoons have wall-to-wallmusic, and they're on every day of the week,twice on Saturdays, there's a huge opportunityto generate an awful lot of income.

"Then there's the people who are intowriting themes, bumpers and stingers for

Thank You! Thank You! Thanks . . . !

It's been one of those memorable summers,thanks to the thoughtfulness of record companypeople. A&M's Stephanie Robertson arrangedpress accreditation privileges for us to theWoodstock blast, and there we were, front andcentre to another history -making rock n' rollevent. And then, along came Virgin's RussHergert with a couple of tickets to the Stone'sconcert. And, to repeat myself, there wewere, front and centre, 21 rows from the stageto be exact, to one of the most memorableconcerts of the decade. Watching those slimand healthy looking old rock veterans do theirthing was an inspiration. (EC: A joint a daykeeps the doctor away . . . !)

K97's Steve Olson in T . 0Wouldn't you know it . . . K97 music directorSteve Olson breezes into Toronto and majorleague baseball is still on ice. Judging fromwhat he tells me about Edmonton radio, it'spretty competitive, and very entertaining.Maybe the major broadcast players, those whohave stations all over the map, should considersending some of their dead -beat Torontoand area UN -personalities out west to learnhow to communicate. (EC: They know how tofornicate . . . !)

A yuk from Kevin Hilgers . . . !

CFGP's morning personality recently told hisGrande Prairie listeners that "A hundred laughsa day will give you as much cardiovascularbenefit as 10 minutes on a rowing machine. Italso lowers blood pressure and heart rate,strengthens the immune system and reduceslevels of stress -creating hormones. Now, ifthis show could only find some funny material."He did as a matter of fact find a bunch of them.Here's one. "Why don't cannibals eat clowns?`Cause they taste funny." (EC: A laugh a daykeeps the radio doctor away . . . !)

It oughta be the law . ! Speakingto some of the industry people about theupcoming seminar on music and film (TheyShoot! They Score!), only attracted a yawn ortwo. Instead of pissing around, nickle anddimeing it with no -hit crap, they should patchthemselves into some of the millionaire writerpanelists, who score for films, commercialsand jingles. That's where the big money is.Read Ron Rogers' piece on page 2, and you'llget an idea of just how much, and what,songwriters are missing out on. The CopyrightAct and how to interpret it, should be on theplate of every senior executive hopeful in therecord and broadcast industries. You can't bepresident, general manager or senior vice-president, or shouldn't, if you don't know theterritory. Joanne Smale has done a great job oforganizing this seminar. The film people reallydon't care about music. It just came as part ofthe territory. Now that it's on their agenda,they'll have to take notice. Wouldn't it be niceif the musicmakers did likewise? (EC: If theycan hear the rustle of greenbacks they will!)

Shopsy's on Mirvish Walkaway?Guess who's moved into the Mirvi territory?Shopsy's, that's who. The Deli king's namelives on with the opening on King Street justa couple of doors east of the Princess of WalesTheatre, of an after and a before theatre

It was interesting to see the surprisedlook on the faces of Ed Mirvish and wife Annewhen they happened across West End stageactress June Wilkinson. The well -endowedEnglish actress starred in Pyjama Tops at Ed'sRoyal Alex, back in 1964. She's still well -endowed, and playing Toronto until Oct. 30.(EC: How do you become un-endowed . . .

Erroll Starr eases back onto radio wavesAfter sharing a 1989 Juno award for Angel asbest R&B single with Eddie Schwartz, ErrollStarr did something that many artists woulddeign as professional suicide: he took himself

by Tim Evans

On a roll .. I Last week, Barenaked Ladies'Jane was the most -added song in the country.This week, it is the hottest song in Canada.Jane rises 39 spots all the way to #22. If thatsounds high for a song in just its second week,you're right. No other song this year hit thetop 25 that quickly. If that news wasn't goodenough, the band's album, Maybe You ShouldDrive, exploded at retail and enters at #5.

Prince and Barney. Maybe the purplepair will tour together sometime soon now thatPrince is back on the charts. His album,Come, debuts at #47, while the album's firstrelease enters the Hit Tracks chart. Let It Gobreaks in at #94. During his career, Prince hashad numerous hit songs including two #1s.Name them.

Big Canadian week. Besides BarenakedLadies, another Canadian artist has an albumenter in the top 10. Neil Young And CrazyHorse debuts at #10 with Sleeps With Angels.Chris Sheppard's latest Pirate Radiocompilation enters at #15, while Rheostatics'Introducing Happiness cracks the chart at #45.Yet another Canadian, Jann Arden, has thebiggest moving album. Living Under Juneclimbs 34 places to #29.

More Cancon info. Carol Medina isheaded for the biggest hit of her career. I HadA Dream is quickly rising the Hit Trackschart. In just its third week, it bullets to #68.Sass Jordan can lay claim to her biggest hit forthe second straight release. Sun's Gonna Risehas risen all the way to #8, which edges out herprevious high of #9 with High Road Easy.

Look who's back. Sinead O'Connor hasresurfaced with the top add no less. Fire OnBabylon enters the chart at #84. It has beenmore than four years since her mega smashNothing Compares 2 U.

Soundtrack fever. Soundtracks arecertainly proving to be a dominant force in themusic industry as evidenced by the top 10albums throughout the Music World chain.1. The Lion King Soundtrack 2. BarenakedLadies 3. Ace Of Base 4. Forrest GumpSoundtrack 5. Rolling Stones 6. CountingCrows 7. Soundgarden 8. Reality BitesSoundtrack 9. A11 -4 -One 10. Stone TemplePilots.

King Prince. The two #1 hits from Princeare When Doves Cry (1984) and Batdance(1989). Hmmmmm, that's exactly five yearsapart and now its five years later. Is this apattern? Prince also had three other songsreach the top three: Let's Go Crazy, PurpleRain and Cream.

out of the spotlight.However, according to Starr, now holed

up in Hamilton, this move was the inevitableculmination of a period of success that includedBlack Music awards and Juno nominations forThe Key single.

"It was a natural evolution from doing allof this," he notes over the phone from hisHamilton studio. "I had a facility to produceand write, and I had enough time to sit backand look at my direction and image, andwanted to change it up. Given the timespan, Ifelt the public would be more receptive to thechange of direction without too much trouble. "

Starr's new image, behind themanagement team of himself, wife Lisa, andASOMA Records, is far less glitzy than theone associated with him previously. "Theimage of Erroll Starr is very flashy. It's not abad image, but at the same time I want it downto earth, more me."

The new image and music on the ASOMARecords disc, From The Inside Out, refuses toconfine itself within the fences ofcategorization. It offers a more completeview.

The album was completed at his homestudio where he took care of most of theinstrumentation and production. However,Starr is no stranger to this studio, as he haskept very busy on the professional frontproducing commercials for radio and TV,nationally and within the Hamilton market.

"I'd been writing all along, so I've got a200 -song catalogue. I planned to make a

record three years ago and devoted the latehours to singing on it, et cetera."

The album is in stores in the NiagaraHorseshoe area, currently carried exclusivelyby HMV, but looking for Sam The RecordMan to pick it up as well.

Starr is looking at a broader market thanCanada, though the first single, Sum Of WhatI Am, has been added at Energy108 inBurlington. The AC track Head Over Heels isbeing worked at the major AC stations whereit currently sits in limbo.

One of the problems in Canada, though,is the lack of vital R&B and, to an extent,dance radio. This was a problem when Starrreleased Temple Of Love on A&M Recordsback in 1985.

"It was a shot in the dark for A&M. Theydidn't know what to do with R&B back at thattime. To break this kind of music out ofCanada, they didn't really have their finger onthat button. It got lost in the shuffle a little bit.

"Then again, I can't fault them foranything because they did their best. Weended up parting ways amicably."

"They're not quite sure what to do here.They're not breaking any R&B acts out ofCanada. Radio isn't there to support it. Canadais good for a lot of things, but as far asrecognizing their own, it always seemed totake the artist going there and coming back."

"People may think it's a religious record,but it's not. I would say it's spirituallyconscious, or motivated. The record crossesall of these boundaries, so it flows very well.It's an uplifting record, and a record I'm veryhappy with. I'm hoping people view it with anopen mind and enjoy it. It's from the heart."

Sony Music keying on Loverboy and Jesse & GeneSony Music Canada's special products divisionis keeping itself busy these days, with a pair ofnew projects on the go that are reflective of theimmense diversity that exists in the musicbusiness today.

The first of these projects is a full-lengthalbum from the crazed morning duo atToronto's AM 640 radio station, Jesse &Gene. The twosome has been a staple at radioin the Toronto market for years, beginning atQ107, followed by a brief stint at 680 CFTR.

Sony has decided to parlay the pair'senormous following into an album, whichshould be followed soon thereafter by anationally syndicated radio show this fall.

The album, entitled What's In It ForUs?, will feature a collection of phone calls,pranks and on -air silliness culled from the AM640 files. Along with the skits and sketches,the album will include a unique take on BTO' sclassic Takin' Care Of Business, now titledTakin' Care Of Listeners, and featuring RandyBachman, Rik Emmett and Lawrence Gowan.

According to Sony's Ron Camilleri, thepromotion for the Jesse & Gene package willbe substantial.

"We're doing a contest on AM 640, andlisteners will win a trip for two somewhere.We're teaming up with Canada 3000, andwe'll fly somewhere. Right now we're lookingat London, England. McDonalds is on board,doing something with the TTC. We figure this

is looking like a quarter -million dollarcampaign."

Camilleri says that the popularity of theduo can't be underestimated, noting "theydon't ask their listeners to do something, theytell them to."

Because it deals with a regionalizedproduct, Camilleri admits that his companywill focus its promotion in the southern Ontarioregion. But he feels the possibility of thisrecord selling in regions across the countryshouldn't be overlooked.

"Currently, Jesse & Gene are negotiatinga national syndicated show. So we're shipping

it nationally. We don't expect a lot of activityin other regions, however, the first single,Takin' Care Of Listeners really smokes, andwe think people may entertain it and play it inother markets."

The other new pet project at Sony is theregeneration of Canadian pop legend Loverboy.Sony has repackaged and digitally remasteredthe band's biggest hits on an album entitledLoverboy Classics. The release falls right inline with the band's enormously successfulreunion tour currently crossing the US.

"The thing about Loverboy," saysCamilleri, "is that they have a very strongfollowing in the US and Europe, and we havea world-wide release on them, which is prettyamazing. It's the first act we've had out ofCanada which has been picked up by Legacy(the award -winning catalogue reissue line inNew York).

"We've already got orders in fromGermany and some of the European affiliates,and the UK is picking up on it. We're excited,considering it's all old catalogue that we'vejust digitally remastered with new packaging.Loverboy is still sellable around the world."

The band recently reunited for a 45 -datetour of the US, a tour that has sold -out in10,000 seat halls and stadiums. Camilleri saysthat the group's appeal, particularly in themidwestern US, is quite surprising.

"They had a couple of shows in themidwest where Cheap Trick were opening forthem. I mean they're selling out 10,000 seathalls. Up here, because we're so close toLoverboy, everyone saw them for what theywere, and when they finished, everyone thoughtthat was it. But in the midwestern US, they'restill very strong, radio there has always lovedthem."

Jesse & Gene's What's In It For Us?album will be shipped to retail in October, inconjunction with a huge record release party.Loverboy continues its US tour throughoutAugust, with Canadian dates still to beannounced.

HMV opens flagship storein downtown VancouverHMV Canada opened up its first downtownVancouver outlet on August 6, surrounded byday -long celebrations and give-aways tofledgling customers.

Festivities began with street sampling ofa CD jewel case which offered three CDs for$20. The first 3,000 customers were greetedwith HMV T-shirts. Vancouver band Purealso played a short live set for an enthusiasticcrowd of new customers.

According to HMV Canada presidentPaul Alofs, "There has been incredible spiritand response to the opening, and to theunveiling of our two other stores in Kelownaand Victoria."

HMV Canada now has seven locations inBC, including locations on Robson Street,Park Royal Shopping Centre in WestVancouver, Guildford Town Centre in Surrey,Langley's Willowbrook Shopping Centre,Richmond Centre in Richmond, Kelowna'sOrchard Park Centre and Victoria's MayfairShopping Centre.

Eternal age artist Patrick Bernhardt hits goldAs proof of the spiritual power of his music,Imagine Records artist Patrick Bernhardt'sfirst album, Atlantis Angelis, is now well overgold in Canada.

Bernhardt, who describes his music as"eternal age", employs the human voice as aninstrument itself, while melding in the Sanskritand other ancient languages into his releases.He has just put the finishing touches on hisnew album which he has entitledReconciliations. The album was recorded atthe Imagine studios in Quebec.

"My theory," notes a busy Bernhardt,"is that you don't have to understand logicallywith your brain what the meaning of the actuallanguage is. You just have to feel the powerbecause I sing what I call mantra. Mantra iskind of sound structures. The power of thesestructures is that you can feel the inner centrein yourself."

Bernhardt sees a connection between themind and the body on music.

"It's emotion. The sound vibrations havean influence on the material body through theemotional body. We say that the psychicactivity of the mind influences the body.Modern sicknesses originate in the mind,because it's a very stressed civilization."

Bernhardt has designed his music so as toallow an impact on his fans to alleviate thisstress. "It doesn't work by the tranquillity ofthe music. It works through transcendental

and spiritual sound vibrations. I have thefreedom to do it very quietly or do it like rockmusic or tribal music. I can use percussion, orchants, or backing vocals and electric guitar.

"I don't differentiate between new agemusic and rock music. Neither does my recordcompany. We don't care about categories.They're artificial. If you look back at theseventies, we didn't have all these crazycategories. We had only two musics: the badand the good. I really don't mind rock, blues,jazz and world beat. I don't like walls."

While Atlantis Angelis has surpassedgold in Canada, worldwide figures are nowover the half -million mark, a sign of thepotency of this market and the allegiance hisfans draw with his distinctive music.

So what does a gold record mean to aspiritual journeyman like Bernhardt?

"A gold record means gratitude. If thepeople love my music, that means they loveme. I'm not from Canada. I was born inAlgiers, so it's very nice for me to feelaccepted not only from the social aspect, butalso from the artistic aspect.

"This also means that people are moreand more interested in the true identity. I'malways talking about the soul, and the supremesoul, and the inner order of the cosmos. Itmeans that more and more people are interestedin those questions, which is very encouragingfor the future of my music."

Stage is set for Premiere's annual Focus On VideoFocus On Video, a definitive trade show forthe Canadian video industry, is scheduled forSept. 17-19 at the International Centre inToronto.

The video trade show was launched byPremiere Magazine nine years ago. This year'sevent is expected to attract more than 6,500delegates.

The increase in awareness of video byretailers and consumers alike is reflected inthe reported $1.7 billion annual revenuesgenerated by home video in Canada. Theserevenues are more than double that from thetheatrical or recording industries. Even throughthe recession of the past couple of years, videosales broke all sales records.

The three-day video exposition has firmed125 exhibitors for its 65,000 square feet ofexhibit space. The home video divisions of allmajor studios, including Disney/Touchstone,Warner Bros, MCA/Universal, Fox, ColumbiaTriStar, Paramount, and Orion will once againmount exhibits. Exhibitors will be displayingcomputer software, video games,merchandising security and interactivetechnology. There will also be seminars andopen-end discussions on the future of thehome video. As in previous years, it is expectedthat exhibitors will have a number of celebritieson hand to promote upcoming video releases.

Premiere Magazine will host its annualVideo Awards Gala on Sept. 17 in the GalaxyBallroom of the Regal Constellation Hotel.Actors Patricia Neal and Douglas FairbanksJr. will be among the invited guests. Theevening will also include a tribute to the lateJohn Candy. His widow, Rosemary Candy,

will be in attendance.Premiere publisher Salah Bachir, points

out that "Not only will the evening allow us topay tribute to John Candy, an actor who wasparticularly beloved by video audiences andwhose films will be family favourites fordecades to come, but the appearance of twogreat actors, Patricia Neal and DouglasFairbanks Jr., will give us the opportunity tocelebrate two distinct but equally impressivebodies of work, both of which have found apopular second life on video."

SCORES continued from page 2shows as innocuous as the news, weather andsports, which are obviously on several timesa day. It can mean some very serious money."

He also points to the expansion of filmand television into avenues such as pay TV andcable, which merely creates a greater demandfor producers and composers.

"For films, they have theatrical release,video release, TV, and pay -per -view. Allthese new specialty services have blossomedin the last few years, and they have an insatiabledemand for product."

The slogan for this year's symposium isAt Warp Speed, which goes a long way toexplaining the rapid expansion of this sector ofthe industry over the past decade. As Perkinssays, film and television scoring can be alucrative enterprise.

"I think there are an awful lot of talentedpeople in this country who could find thatthere are opportunities in the film and TVmarket that they may have overlooked before.It is a very lucrative market."

Another letter to Steve - by Ronald T. Robinson

The value of communication is the response receivedDear Steve: Even as my best buddy in thebusiness (and undeniably a talented jock) youmay find the following a little disconcerting.

According to our last conversation, youare ready to pack it all in as a result of havingto play 10 -in -a -row and then announce the listfollowed by a positioning statement, liner orpromo . . . or all three.

Now, just hang on for a minute!As you know, there are a lot of jocks who

are considering turning the driving of stakesthrough management hearts into a vocation. Isuspect they will meet with the same results asin their current vocation.

A jock who is musing on this subtlechange of careers may be well served to notethe outcome of their vocational attitudes intheir present pursuits.

It's one thing for jocks and writers to bepaid -up, card-carrying members of the Societyof the Radio Weird with free T-shirts andparty privileges. Yet, not much of value isgoing to happen for them until they turn pro.

In the world, being pro presumes at leasttwo things: firstly, a sum of money willchange hands; and secondly, competence.

In our business, with rare exceptions,there is some of the first and very little of thesecond. In some cases, there is a lot of the firstwith hardly any of the second. And, of course,there are those individuals who enjoy a lot ofthe first as a result of having a lot of thesecond. Most of us in the business however,can name a number of personalitieswith staggering incomes who couldn't buya book with the boss' dough and all oftheir own.

By the way Steve, the quick and dirtyrationale for that scenario is that the personalityin question happens to fulfil managementrequirements that include many criteria andfew standards.

Now, here's the rub.While I have allied myself with talent

and been identified as anti -management, itneeds to be addressed that when it comes tocrunch time, I'm going to side withmanagement, most of the time.

If these radio stations belonged to me,my first priority would be to find or create acompetent on -air and writing staff. Failingthat, I'm going to be slamming formatics andperformance criteria on the place so fast thatsome insiders might wonder if the joint hadn'tbeen voice -tracked.

Now I grant you, that's hardly a strategyfor prosperity. I would, however, sleep better,

knowing that my staff was not inciting thepopulation to insurrection . . . just 'cause itmight make a good bit? I don't need it andneither do my advertisers.

What I'm alluding to here, Steve, is thatmost managers do not trust their staff tocommunicate an idea effectively, powerfullyand appropriately, and I don't blame them.

Those of us who have spent the vastmajority of our careers on the air will (at leastprivately, I suspect) admit that not one of ushas been adequately trained to do what we do.

The crutches have been that: ourexperience is equal to training and that sincewe are in a communication business, ourintuitions about communication and performingare not enough to support our careers. Maybein days gone by, and maybe today for someperformers, but not today for most!

In 1980, I was introduced to a broadcastphilosophy that I made my self. The resultingattitude required that I be responsible for theresults of my work.

Way scary!Here's the philosophy in one line, the

value of my communication is the response Iget.

Even if it's not verifiable, taking thatattitude is the only position from which abroadcaster can be compelled to learnsomething of value, and change!

The theory suggests that if something isnot working, that's a cue to do something else.The broadcast practice has been that whensomething is not working -- do it harder. Asa result, we often hear the line "this formatwill work, if only we could get our people toexecute it."

Once again, I'm reminded of one of mydad's favourites, "You can only buff a turd toso high a gloss."

So, Stevorino, whaddya think? If we'restuck, who do we blame?

Well, we could wait for the industry tochange, or we could change.

We could change by finding out what itis about what and how we say what we say thatimpacts on an audience. Then, and only then,can we, by developing our competence, earnthe confidence of our managers -- and trulyturn pro.

I'll offer the specifics another time.Just remember, I've turned pro.

BARENAKED LADIESMaybe You Should Drive

SireIReprise45709-PThe danger any artist faces when producing anew album is repeating themselves. For theBarenaked Ladies, that danger was probablymultiplied ten -fold. The group amassed enormoussuccess with its debut album, Gordon, toppingthe 800,000 mark in Canada alone. However the

cute, comic -strip pop somehow didn't computewith listeners south of the border, who were'tnearly as frenetic about the band as we were inCanada. The challenge for this time out was to

come up with something equally engaging andentertaining, yet far enough from the cartoon-esque aspect so as not to be tagged with thedreaded label of "novelty act". What the groupdid, in cartoony terms, was leap, like WileyCoyote, halfway into the crevice, then stop inmid-air and struggle back to safety. The musicoccasionally ventures into the realm ofseriousness (Am I The Only One?, You Will BeWaiting), but also slides into the pseudo -comicmode at least once or twice (These Apples, A).Witness the lyrics for the Steven Page penningIntermittently, "Someone somewhere has unglued

our epoxy. And now I'm kissing you by proxy."Now if that isn't a license for silliness, I don'tknow what is. What the guys did was make astrident leap forward into seriousness, withoutforgetting the campus humour that brought themsuccess in the first place. RR

JOE DIFFIE -CountryThird Rock From The Sun

Epic64357-HDiffie has turned more than a few heads with thisalbum, which he co -produced with Johnny Slate.The smooth balladeer has gone a little over theedge, but, despite some of the barbs from critics,Diffie comes out Inking pretty good. The titletrack is already burning up the charts. Diffie'smaterial has substance, and a change of writersand the intensity of his projection should keephim front and centre with his old fans and, ifpromoted and programmed properly, gain himnew fans. He should get a lot of mileage out ofPickup Man, From Here On Out and The CowsCame Home. But don't overlook That Road NotTaken, where Diffie settles back into his smoothballady styling. A little touring on this side of theborder would help. - WG

EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL TopAmplified HeartWarner Music -96482-PWhen I first heard the name, Everything But TheGirl, my immediate thought was, oh, oh, thismust be another loud and obnoxious alternativeact just using a cute name to try and get someattention. Then I heard the music, and I was

AMR IPEDG,

hooked. A truly perfect demonstration of the oldadage, you can't judge a book (or CD) by itscover. Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have beenmaking very nice pop sounds for upwards of tenyears, but have yet to have any kind of commercialsuccess, which is really a shame. This musicdeserves to get some mainstream airplay, somore people would open up that cover anddiscover a very nice sounding duo. The music isacoustically -inclined pop, but without the over -the -top lyrical lecturing one tends to find on somany so called adult alternative releases. Thisduo doesn't wax politics or philosophy - theyunderstand that the most important thing aboutpop music is just that, the music. And the mostimportant lyrical statements are those that wecan all relate to, and not ones with a socialstrategy in mind. Just put this one on, and inviteyour friends to come and experience something

new, they might actually like it. RR

KUMBAYA ALBUM 1994 -PoplRockVarious ArtistsSony Music -80206-HThe Kumbaya Festival has become one of finestmessage mediums this country has produced in

quite a while. Organizer Molly Johnson gatheredtogether some of the biggest names in Canadianmusic for a one -day one-off concert at Toronto'sOntario Place in 1993, and everything is set to goagain in September of this year. To commemorate

the event, Sony has gathered together many ofthe artists that have and will appear at Kumbaya,with proceeds from the sales of the album goingto AIDS charities in Canada. The album containssome previously -released material (Rush'sNobody's Hera, Sarah McLachlan's Good Enough),but the real treasures here are the songs producedspecifically for this record. Those highlightsinclude Celine Dion's Send Me A Lover, TravelWith Jack by 54.40, and The Holly Cole Trio'stake on the Elvis Costello hit Alison. A strongCancon release with a good cause in mind. -RR

of soul, and The Tractors have created justenough of a blend to capture an all -age group oflistener. Baby Likes To Rock It, written by SteveRipley and Walt Richmond, the team that producedthe album, has been taken as the first single.This should open the door to these countryrevolutionaries, and there are lots more. Thescope and purpose of the band's entertainmentthrust is probably punched home best by theheavy, heavy lineup of guests, which includesBonnie Raitt, J.J. Cale, Leon Russell, Jim Kellner,James Burton and Ry Condor. Like Ripley says,"It's not a typical country album,and it's not atypical country plan." Try on The Tulsa Shuffle,Thirty Days, The Blue Collar Rock and Tryin' ToGet To New Orleans, and you'll feel it. In-storeplay will attract customers. - WG

LARI WHITE CountryWishesRCA -66395-NWhite has parlayed her Top 40, jazz and big bandexperience into a cozy country feel that sets hera cut above her counterparts. Countryprogrammers recognized her potential when theyshot her first single from this set, That's MyBaby, up the charts. She wrote the song withChuck Cannon. This is her follow-up to Lead MeNot, her debut for RCA, which she admits is a

slight change in direction. She also changedproducers, with Garth Fundis doing the productionon this one. White's songwriting talent gets animportant showcasing here as well. She wrote orco -wrote eight of the 10 songs on the album.White is a belter with a soft edge that doesn'tallow for tedium. Of particular note is the LindaRonstadt-influenced Go On, which she wrotewith Chris Waters and Tom Shapiro. It should bea single. White reaches on Now I Know, writtenby Chick Rains, Cindy Greene and Don Cook. Butit's that reach that penetrates and becomesmemorable, as is her solo -penning of When ItRains. One not to overlook is That's How YouKnow, written by the WhitelCannon team,featuring a powerful performance by HalKetchum. This could be a big one for White. WG

GODS CHILD

EverybodyClwestfWarner Bros. -45632PWow, like, I put this record on and, 000h man,this was some cool stuff. I mean, like, I shouldhave dropped some acid before I listened to thisdisc, it is a wild trip. These dudes from the BigApple really know their '60s tunes, I mean thisthing just bleeds Zeppelin, Hendrix and The Doors.

Okay, okay, I'll stop. Seriously, this four -membergroup from New York has immersed itself up tothe top of its bell-bottoms in the '60s sound,complete with out -of -left -field tape loops andswirling mellotrons. Yes, mellotrons! The lasttime we heard a mellotron, Dark Side Of TheMoon was still being added at radio. Band

-Rock

members Chris Seefried (vocals, guitars and theaforementioned mellotron), Gary Duna (electrickeyboards), Bip (bass) and Alex Alexander (drums,percussion and loops) are signature members ofthe younger generation's '60s revival mission,and their music reflects it. Tracks such as Milk,Wolf and Stone Horses feature fuzzy guitars,swarming, pulsing keyboards and over -the -topvocals by Seefried. Don't know if radio will knowwhat to do with this, but it's interesting listeningto say the least. I1R

DODIE PETTIT CountrylPopSongs From The JourneyLandfill -111001The musical theatre training shows through heredisplaying Pettit's comfortable vocal range thatembraces the spirited lyrics, no matter what themessage. In fact, the whole makeup of the albumlends itself to the title. Pettit's journey into songis a poutpourri of soul, blues, swing and gospelized

day-to-day experiences that will easilycommunicate and connect with all ages. Throughher vocal warmth and ability to project, shecreates the passion necessary to structure hermaterial into memorable works. Pettit wrote allthe material here, with the exception of WaterOn A Sinking Ship, which she co -wrote withhusband Kevin Gray. This extraordinarly beautifulduet with Gray should be considered for the ACmarket. All tracks are key, but other standoutsinclude Louisiana Moonshine, The Roadie, whichcould be a left -fielder, and Runnin' With TheWolves. The album was produced by Pettit andKristin Wilkinson and recorded in Nashville. BothPettit and Gray are landed immigrants, the album

qualifies as three -parts Cancon (MAL). WG

THUNDERMUG -RockWho's Running My World?Raven Recordings -94712Thundermug first surfaced above the water backin 1972, and enjoyed a modicum of successdomestically, most notably with a song calledAfrica, which peaked at #38 on RPM's Hit Trackschart (RPM - Sept. 231721. More than 20 yearslater, the band is catching the retro wave with anew release which traces a clearly -trodden pathback to 1972. The music is hard -edged guitar

rock which doesn't stray too far from its '60spsychedelic roots. Songs like Hippy, High andThe Marijuana Song pretty well explain thedirection south that this band has taken, far fromthe '90s norm. The band has also chosen toinclude their big hit, Africa, on this new record.Two of the original members are present (guitaristand vocalist Bill Durst, bassist Jim Corbett),along with new member, drummer CoreyThompson. The album was produced by Durstand Danny Brodbeck, recorded at dB RecordingStudios in London, Ontario. Publicity for thecrew is being handled by Bobby Gale. -RR

12 - RPM CHART WEEKLY - Monday August 29, 1994

Joe Fox survives 35 years of sales wizardry at SonyWhen they made the Joe Fox sales rep mold 35years ago, it hasn't been used since.

Fox is the undisputed leader, not tomention survivor, of the much -maligned, butmuch -monied Canadian record retail salesteam that somehow manages to retain itsmystique.

Fox actually began his career in therecord business 35 years ago as a part-timestock room boy with Columbia Records.Charlie Camilleri, now retired from CBS/Sony, was there when the young Fox came onboard. "I remember him well, and that slygrin of his. He was always putting someoneon. After a short stint in the warehouse, hemoved into the sales force, which he fit like aglove. Everybody liked Joe Fox. He was laidback and always professional. The accountsloved him. He was one of those guys who wasconcerned for the down-and-outers,volunteering his time to help them out andeven helping them out financially. I think hewas making 30 bucks a week, but he wasalways a soft touch for a handout."

Fox remained in sales ever since, withthe exception of a short stint as Torontobranch manager.

"This had to be the shortest period inhistory for a branch manager," says Sony'ssenior vice-president of sales, Don Oates."After a couple of weeks, he approached hisboss and said he had the perfect guy for his oldjob sales rep job. It was him. He said hewanted his old job back. Says Oates,facetiously, "he's going to continue to do ituntil he does it right. Seriously, he's going todo it for as long as he wants to."

Fox is a rare find. His work ethics, hispermanent smile and positive approach to thebusiness have gained him respect from theindustry in general. Over the years, he hasserviced most of the major accounts andsurvived, relatively unscathed.

Eddie Colero, who hired Fox 35 years

ago at Columbia, has maintained a closerelationship with his "wonder boy". He recallsthat he "was on attack the day he washired. He was a natural for sales, and it didn'ttake us long to move him out of the warehouse.One of his problems in the early days was hisstuttering. He couldn't say two words in arow. But he was so intent on succeeding insales, he overcame his problem in a shortperiod of time. We were like family. He'dgive you his left arm."

Ross Ferris, another longtime Columbia/CBS/Sony sales rep, has worked with Fox for22 years. "I heard about Joe for a long timebefore I ever met him. He's become a veryclose personal friend. I remember in the earlydays when he was with the western Ontario

"But he's a jokester too. Iremember when he came

back from holidaying in theBarbados. He made out

his expense report, whichcovered his holiday trip."

Ross FerrisCBS/Sony sales rep

division, it took him three weeks to cover thenorth country. It took his successor threedays. Joe isn't the kind of guy who drops in,takes an order and hustles onto the next call.He knows all there is to know about his clientsand their families. He's a very concerned andcaring person.

"But he's a jokester too. I rememberwhen he came backfrom holidaying in theBarbados. He made outhis expense report,which covered hisholiday trip. He took itinto Eddie Colero, whowas the branch

manager, and he signed it without even looking.The whole office broke up and Eddie suddenlyrealized he'd been taken again by Joe. Youknow he likes you when he calls you a jerk. It'svery difficult to find anything bad to say aboutthe guy. God knows, I've tried."

Shelly Rosenberg, now in sales at EMI,worked with Fox at CBS for 13 years. "Hewas a practical joker, but you could never getmade at him, at least not for long. I rememberon my first trip to Europe and I was told I'dhave to get shots. Joe told me the needle waspretty scary because they had to stick it in theball of my foot. I was scared to death, right upto the day I got the shots."

Garry Newman, now senior vice-president of sales for Warner Music, wasFox's boss when he was Toronto branchmanager for CBS (Sony). "Joe is a gentleman,a wonderful human being, with a great senseof humour. I still have very fond memories ofthe time we spent together at the CBS London,England convention."

Alan Fletcher, now at Warner Music,was Fox's boss for 11 years when he wasdirector of CBS/Sony' s central region. "Joe isdefinitely a class act. But he's a trickster aswell, in the same mold as his old friend, thelate Jimmy Gordon. He's a very caring personand always kept tabs on people in the industry,offering a helping hand whenever they neededit. The younger people in the business canlearn from Joe, particularly his insights intotrends, which keeps him on top of everythingand most important is his human relations. Joeis a calm and very cool individual. He must be.Imagine being with the same company for 35years."

Joy Lynn White subdues pain with new albumSony artist Joy Lynn White, like so manycountry artists, grew up on the art form. Asher love of the music grew, and her talentgrew, she moved to Nashville, where hervoice became a sought-after item in numerousstudios.

Demos and session work is often a wayof life for many artists. For White, the yearsof studio time paid off in a solo career, whichcontinues with her second album, Wild Love.

White admits that growing up she wasinundated with the sounds of traditionalcountry. Even when her family moved tosuburban Indiana when she was still a child,White's ears were filled with the sounds ofcountry.

"I came from country people. I was bornin the south, my mom and dad were born andraised there. My dad was a bluegrasser, andthey also had a gospel group called The WhiteFamily, featuring Little Lynn White. I sang inradio shows and revivals, really all over theplace. It's just something I've done all mylife."

And like so many artists rooted in thesouth, despite dabbling in other musical areas,White still calls country her music of choice.

"I started off doing southern gospel, thenI switched in my teenage years to southernrock and blues. But I got sick of that, camedown to Nashville and got into the demo scenehere. I had the studio experience from when Iwas in Indiana, where I was a jingle singerwhile still in high school."

White cites Johnny Cash, Patsy Clineand Jimmy Rodgers as influences at an earlyage. "When I got older, I got into LindaRonstadt, Bonnie Raitt - I was into BonnieRaitt before she was really popular."

While it is said 'that which doesn't kill usmakes us stronger', White is the first to admitthat the death of her father shortly before therelease of her debut album made life a painfulexperience for a lengthy period.

"Right before (the first single) LittleTears was released, my dad died, which prettymuch messed me up for a whole year. I hadsome success with True Confessions, and Ialso sang on a whole lot of other people'salbums - Lee Roy Parnell, The Mavericks,Iris DeMent, Bob Woodruff. And I playedquite a bit last year as well."

"It was really hard for me to write lastyear. I didn't feel like doing it, and when I didwrite something it was usually very depressing.The songs I chose speak of how I felt, since Inot only lost my dad, but the relationship I'dbeen in for four years broke apart as well."

Along with overcoming the pains of herpersonal life, White has also had to deal with

RPM CHART WEEKLY - Monday August 29, 1994 - 15

numerous delays in releasing her latest album,while the record company waits for what itfeels is the most opportune time in the schedule.White feels that at times, younger artists likeherself are all -too casually passed over byradio.

"I think I have been swept under the rug,to be honest. I mean, Wild Love is over,although everywhere I go people tell me theylove it. I'm not swept under the rug by mylabel by any means, they're very good to me.But there are a lot of artists, and maybe it'shard for radio to decide who's got somethingand who doesn't."

White continues to tour throughout thesouthern US. The month of December willbring her to western Canada for a series ofclub dates.

(cIcom EuriToday's Hot New Country 730 CKDMhas six Cancon singles on its Top 20 chart.Charlie Major's The Other Side is at #3,Louisiette by Prairie Oyster is at #8, Quartette'sRed Hot Blues is at #13, River Of No Returnby Terry Kelly is at #16, Lisa Brokop's GiveMe A Ring Sometime enters the chart at #19,and Lennie Gallant's Which Way Does TheRiver Run is also a new entry at #20. "Thiscountry has a lot of incredible talent," saysCKDM's program/music director BruceLeperre, "and it's only a matter of time beforethis will happen all over the country."

Herb Forgie, Warner's national promotiondirector for US product, is pushing Archer/Park, which he describes as "country's hottestnew duo." Randy Archer is from Georgia andJohnny Park is from Texas. Their self -titleddebut, released on the Atlantic label,wasproduced by Randy Scruggs. Forgie tags theduo's material as "running the gamut fromheartbreak balladry to high -rolling jukeboxshuffles and twangy honky tonk rockers."Where There's Smoke is the first single.Product will be in the stores Sept. 16.

The 'Waves(Part Four of a four-part series)

by Judith FitzgeraldDuring CTV's 13th annual Canadian CountryMusic Association Awards broadcast, viewersmay well witness minor miracles and majortransformations of the most inspiring kind.

Firstly, the odds-on favourites in severalprestigious categories -- Male and FemaleVocalist among them -- face one comely herdof dark horses chomping at the bit. Secondly,the one-two audio-visual punch -- initiated byRPM's Big Country Awards and reinforcedby the Fall Classic -- provides selected artistswith another key piece of the promotion puzzlein terms of all-important national exposure.Finally, the network itself may receive long -overdue recognition for proudly strengtheningcountry's musical ties this last decade or so.

Country Fools salute Executive ProducerGord James, a class action -oriented industrialistwith an understanding of ceremony and dignitythat often puts comparably -budgeted vehiclesto shame.

Country Fools? For the past dozen years,yours truly and Fools have hovered underhalogen at the Anonymity Arms for our annualcountry -bet get -to -get to proffer opinions,debate decisions and weather divisions in aneasy-pleasy honkytonk complete with coin -oppool table, bakelite ashtrays and an impressivearray of neon suds.

At stake? Smartest Country Fool Of TheYear, that most -coveted citation hungstrategically above the scoreboard of the MataHari pinball machine.

"It figures . . . " sighs Sheila Q. Shark,dismantling her custom-made pool cue andtaking her customary place among said Fools,"it just figures. You think they'd leave a goodthing alone, eh?"

"If it ain't broke, it ain't a Canadian,"states Tom the Bomb flatly, "it's just anotherstupid tragedy."

"A crying shame," cries Dipstuck (akaBubba), "a bloody flippin' no-goodin' earth-shakin' gut-achin' heart-breakin' shame!"

Country Fools, struck completely dumbby Bubba's wordy outpouring, slurp, swig,swill and lament this most grievous loss whilelightning stabs stained-glass windows andthunder beats a contrapuntal Barra -MacNeiltattoo to the rat -a -tat rapids of rain.

After a respectable lapse of minutes andlapping of seconds, Tom the Bomb clears histhroat and proposes a toast to posterity and BigMac, proprietor of the beloved AA and saintedpreserver of the last class bastion for foolssuch as us.

Country Fools scrape the boards, humthe chords and turn their CFer caps in deferenceto the slated -for -demolition institution housingall 13 Smartest Country Fool Of The Yearplaques.

"As reigning SCF," says me, "I call thisconfab to consciousness. Time to ponder ThePicker."

"That's such a dumb name for anaward," whines TB, "too bad they never gotaround to calling it The Hanky. After HankSnow, eh? They could launch the white -hanky

campaign. Slogan: Country till the last teardrops. And, when a winner scores, the studioaudience could get into synchronised hankywaving.

"Boy, the visuals would knock 'em deadat home, eh? I vote they lose that fringifiedpicker thing and replace it with the WHATs."

"The whats?""What whats?""The W -H -A -Ts! The White Hanky

Awards Trophies. That's what," retortsBomber, "Besides, it's better than Fitz's namefor 'em ain't it?"

"Not! It's so low watt, I'm squinting.""What else is new? You never could see

what's in front of you.""Put yer money where yer mouth is,

Bomber. My Annie would shoot out the lightsof your Hanky quicker than you could sayzippity-flitz . . .

"

"Excuse me," interrupts La Cue, "I kindof like the idea of an Annie. Dipstuck, don'tyou, too? And, don't you check your oil withhanky . . . ?"

"Right on," says Dipstuck, "but yougotta call 'em the Mustangs . . . the oldMustangs . . .

"

"Annie carries it. Next item on theagenda? The host."

After heated discussion (over an entirelyunrelated issue concerning the odds of four -off -the -floor Fox looking sexier in red orpurple), Fools allow as to how that dude fromCochrane, Alberta redefines drool -worthy.Also, by George, the Fox talks. Best bananato fork them Pickers over (or to classilypresent The Annies).

"Friends, home and countryists, lend meyour ears: Tonight, this legendary night ofnights with nary a triskaidekaphobic in sight,Country Fools gather together to cast pearlsbefore . .

"

"Watch it, Fitz!". . . to cast pearls before powers

collectively greater than yours and mine. Thenominees, please. Thank you, Dipster. Timeto put your heart on the line . . .

"

Dipstuck recites the list of contenders forthe glam-cat awards, those deemed worthy ofwestern -world beamery commencingSeptember 19th with the announcement of theillustrious recipients of same in Calgary.

Fools vote according to the rules. Afterwe finger our personal Pickers for eachesteemed category and seal our ballots in oneof Mac's cigar tubes until he relinquishesthem during CTV's Special Presentationgraphic, we get down to brass facts and thetruly Foolish business of second-guessingindividual CCMA picker -uppers in both awardsand citations departments, a process callingfor discussion, dissension, derision, dub -dealing and the kind of high-and-mightypontification usually the sovereign domain ofCanadian Yankees in King Spicer's Court.

If Fools know their stuff, CassandraVasik will walk away with Female Vocalisthonours for the stellar sparklies splashed allover Feels Like Home, the Blenheim (ON)native's sophomore song -and -dazzler. Theabsence of Murray and MacNeil duly noted,Fools nonetheless pronounce the list well-rounded by the inclusion of singer -songwriter

Susan Aglukark.Arctic Rose, the Inuit's haunting major -

label debut, deserves the kind of attentionsuch awards bestow upon each lucky contender.Vasik and Aglukark go toe -to -toe against anentrenched trio of well-known repeaters inthis category: Patricia Conroy, MichelleWright and Joan Kennedy.

Male Vocalist, always a tough nut tocrack, presents the Fools with the kind ofconundrum they'd rather avoid, especiallysince all five guys deserve the hardware. Mac,usually more inclined to switch than fight,sticks to his guns for the first time in thehistory of the Country Fools:

"Listen," argues he, "I've logged amillion country -radio ear miles and I know thescore. The kid's got stuff. The kid's got heart.The kid's got a voice that sends most singersback to country -music college to learn thebasics. They're always calling up andrequesting Jimmie on the radio. You can loveyour Majors and you can love your Foxes.You can talk Neilson and you can talk Tysontill you're blue in the face. I ain't budging.Witter or nothing."

Fools duly report the history -makingblank to bookie Tom the Bomb when hereturns from powdering his picker.

"Alright," whines TB, "I'll pass onTyson. Just this once. I'll try to forget EighteenInches Of Rain; I'll try not to rememberAlcohol In The Bloodstream"; and, I won'teven think about . . .

"

"Mac," shouts Bubba, "Quick! TB'sgonna have a Tyson attack! Mac punches upSummer Wages on the jukebox before TB canseriously overamp on the endless merits of thecowboy -singer's superbly crafted songs,flawless acoustic execution and the mostmagnificent stuff he's penned since And StoodThere Amazed. Amen!

In the Vocal Duo/Group category, Foolswonder briefly if the powers -that -bestow knowthe difference between a band and a groupbefore tagging Oysters with the win and cryingthe blues over shadowy bands not among theFive Faves of September.

With North Country, Rankins do continueto make heavenly music; however, accordingto La Cue, "Rankins don't do country the wayPrescott/Brown do! Nosirree! It's Prescott/Brown or nothing for me."

Cooler Fools prevail. Oysters it is. By acountry mile.

Quartette unanimously clears the Vocal -Collaboration category while Russell deCarle'sSuch A Lonely One scores with SOCAN'sSong Of The Year.

C. Major scoops up Single, Video (I'mGonna Drive You Out Of My Mind) andAlbum (The Other Side) honours before theOttawa Valleyite waves goodnight to the fanswho vote the multi -talented tunesmith the"Choice" for '94.

No dummies in the new -talentdepartment, Fools pick Ron Hynes to hang hisheart on the Vista/Rising Star Award whileagreeing, in principle, to lobby the CCMA foryet another Picker, Indie Artist Of The Yearand, after much discussion, boldy nominatefive independent acts for the non-existentcategory: Suzanne Gitzi, Underground

RPM CHART WEEKLY - Monday August 29, 1994 - 19

Outlaws, Jason McCoy, Coda The West andWayward.

And so it goes and so it went. By the endof the evening, the rain had slowed its tempoto Somebody's Always Saying Goodbye, theFools had dutifully scrutinised all categoriesto select the "most likelies" and the thunderhad moved on.

But, you can bet that when that wreckingball slams into the Anonymity Arms, a motleycollection of Country Fools will be there tocarry off the institution's 1867 cornerstoneand transport it to some safe honkytonk havenwith both a requiem for the generations who'dgathered to discuss the pros and cons of allthings country and a freshly inscribed epitaphthat sums up the spirit of The Annie:

"You can always take it with you in yourheart."

I thank Program Directors GregHaraldson (CKRY), Jim Ferguson (CHLQ)and Al Kingdon (CHAM) for their valuabletime and insightful contributions to The'Waves.

(Judith Fitzgerald is an award -winning authorof 20 -plus books and one-time syndicatedcountry music columnist for The Toronto Star.)

RADIO continued from page 10

station's Picnic in the Parking Lot on Aug. 16was a rousing success. The CHUM parking lotwas turned into a picnic area, with Shopsy'ssupplying the hot dogs and Snapple providingbeverages, while the station moved itsbroadcast location to the roof of the CHUMbuilding. "It certainly exceeded ourexpectations," says Sheppard. "We hadthousands of people come down from aroundthis area. It was all for the CHUM CharitableFoundation and we raised more than $1,300,which was quite amazing. Shopsy's broughtabout 5,000 hot dogs, figuing they would takeat least 3,000 of them home, but they just keptgoing right until 6:00. We had to literallymove people off the chairs to clean up."

CKBY Ottawa's afternoon drive host BradDonnelly sent us along the news that thestation's Christmas In The Valley CD, whichfeatured some of the Ottawa Valley's finestartists, has raised more than $15,000 dollarsfor Ottawa -area charities. The CD was puttogether with the financial help of the LoebChain of Food Stores and noted Ottawa artistand television personality Wayne Rostad.

COUNTRY continued from page 15

Berry is currently charting withWhat's In It For Me (#14), the latest focustrack taken from his self -titled Liberty album.Andy Senyl, owner of the Saloon, wasobviously impressed with his summer sell-outs of The Wheel, Hal Ketchum and BillMonroe, "which proves there is an audiencefor country in Toronto . . . and not just newcountry."
