On manyoccasions I've had the pleasure of meetingseveral big stars like Whitney Houston andCarly Simon, and just recently Samantha Foxand Cy Curnin and Adam Woods of TheFixx. What charming people they are, and onsecond and third meeting, they rememberlittle things about our previous meeting.British, American and Australian artists,those I've met, are very warm,knowledgeable people and fun to meet. Onthe other hand . . . I've had some dreadfulexperiences with snot -nosed Canadian artists,most who have gone on to play the sleaze bars

and eventual oblivion they so richly deserve.Their first kick at the can was arranged bytheir record label, although they'll argue thattheir talent was the only factor. Once they hitthe big time and continue with theirarrogance, they suddenly find themselves inthe "one trick pony" situation and their labelcan't bail them out . . . they've burned toomany bridges. Someone should start a charmschool for Canadian artists. (EC: Is that whywe only have one star in our star system?)

Talking about a star system ... ! Recordretailers would seem to have a bit of an edgeon the rest of the music industry when itcomes to image. One of the shaker's in thisbusiness who keeps the tarnish off hisparticular star, is Peter Parish of A&ARecords & Tapes, who continually feeds"good stuff" to the media. By the way, thatwas a very well done piece on A&A Records& Tapes the store "Alice & Albert started,"which appeared on the front page of theToronto Star's Business Today (April 17,1989). Writer Pat Brennan should be movedinto the Entertainment Section,immediately. One small correction however.The Bronfmans aren't involved . . it's theThomson Family . . . the publishing people!(EC: I told you we should have got into theretail business . . . years ago!)

Take another bow ... Marcel! A bunch ofthe guys and gals from Musicaction andFACTOR are getting together down at TheBottom Line in Toronto on May 4th to handout kudos to themselves, and richly deserved.They'll also be honouring the 1989 Juno andFelix Award winners. Marcel Masse, of Oscarfame, (EC: Speaking of one trick ponies!)will be the "special guest". When asked ifour government star would be accepting ALLthe awards, there was a silence, which Iinterpreted to mean "no comment". Ob-viously, they wouldn't know until the lastminute if he would accept. (EC: If there'stelevision coverage, he will!)

Let's not be too quick to forget! Thisindustry has a habit of squeezing the best outvery dedicated workers and forgetting themwhen it comes time for the bows. Case inpoint, Daisy Falle, one very dedicated andconscientious, not to mention tireless workerfor CARAS. She's the glue holding thatorganization together, and she deserves alittle recognition! EC: Right on . . . !)

Charlie's at it again . . . ! Does anyonepromote Variety anymore than Charlie

Camilleri? I don't think so. He just told meabout a rush press conference that was (bythe time you get this) held in the Variety Clubclubrooms. They were going to announcethat superswimmer Vicki Keith was going tooutdo herself . .. again for Variety. And, justin passing, Charlie suggested, "Wouldn't itbe nice if someone wrote a song about Vicki,our Lady Of The Lakes?" What a great ideaCharlie, and I can just see those songwritersworking feverishly to come up with the firstentry. (EC: Just in time for summer, I hope!)

Disco sucks ... again!! It wasn't too longago that you read in these very pages, and inthis very column, that disco was coming backstrong . . . and wasn't I right? (EC: I hopenot!) Yes, folks, the music that everyonehated has returned and although the very

people who poo pooed it the first timearound, are now making mega bucks fromthe return of disco and they're callingit . . . "something else".

(EC: And whatthey're doing in the Imperial Room is reallythe twist!) They don't know!!! (EC: Theydon't care . . !)

Oh! to be 23 again . ! I was one of theselect few to be invited to a very, very privatebirthday party for Samantha Fox. It was her'23rd birthday, and the BMG people designeda cake that was a work of art, built around awired turntable. They also gave her a veryexpensive leather jacket, which covered hereverything. (EC: It must have been made forDon Kollar!) I was asked if I would like tohave my picture taken with Samantha and Isaid well . . . of course, if she will siton my . . . lap, which she did, and it's allthere in black and white. I have to hand it tothe people at the Gravevine (EC: That'sGrapevine!) the food was very good, almostlike it was a catering job! (EC: And there waslots of it . . . )

A musical genre that is rather eclecticin nature, flamenco relies on interpretationand spontaneity among its players. Perhapsthen, as pop music has evolved into a veryrigid and formatted style over the years,flamenco has flourished because of itsfluidity and distinctive flavour. In Spain,Paco Pena is revered for his flamenco guitarplaying.

Although flamenco is considered a veryserious art form by the "aficionados", it re-mains stereotyped across North America,primarily due to the many Western moviesthat portrayed a popularity only amonghispanic cultures.

A&A takes over Kelly'sretail outlets in HalifaxA&A Records & Tapes, who proudly billthemselves as "the largest retail music chainin Canada", adds a couple of notches to itsbelt with the acquisition of two Kelly's Stereoretail outlets in Nova Scotia.

With the purchase of the 8,000 squarefoot store on Barrington Street in Halifaxand the New Minas outlet A&A's retailoutlets now total 240 across Canada.

As Peter Parish, Senior Vice President,Marketing & Sales for A&A, points out,"The timing was perfect for both parties:John Arnold, President of Kelly's StereoMart (Atlantic) Ltd., was seriously pursuingother interests and A&A Records & Tapes haswanted to open a full -line, flagshipSuperStore in Halifax."

International publishingdeal for HansonApparently the sleeping giants of the musicindustry, the publishers, are making hugestrides in Canada to get Canadian writers andartists the recognition and acclaim that for solong has been largely overlooked. Accordingto Geoff Kulawick, a professional managerwith Warner/Chappell, they are in"acquisition mode" and seriously looking tobeef up their talent roster.

Most recently, Warner/Chappell signedformer Glass Tiger drummer MichaelHanson to a worldwide co -publishing dealand has been recording his new material inToronto, with finished and fully mixed tracksexpected in May, Kulawick informs. Hansonjoins an impressive roster that includes DavidRoberts, Stan Meissner, Colin Linden, MylesHunter and John Whynot.

Hanson, while with Glass Tiger,co -wrote such hits as I'm Still Searching and IWill Be There. He will also perform his ownmaterial, something the publisher discoveredupon signing the artist. "I now feel that I'vecome to a point where I need to have my ownidentity as an artist," Hanson explains, "andas an individual. Writing and performing myown material is now the driving force in mylife."

International publishing deal for Hanson

Apparently the sleeping giants of the music industry, the publishers, are making huge

strides in Canada to get Canadian writers and artists the recognition and acclaim that for so

long has been largely overlooked. According to Geoff Kulawick, a professional manager

with Warner/Chappell, they are in "acquisition mode" and seriously looking to

beef up their talent roster. Most recently, Warner/Chappell signed

former Glass Tiger drummer Michael Hanson to a worldwide co -publishing deal

and has been recording his new material in Toronto, with finished and fully mixed tracks expected in May, Kulawick informs. Hanson

joins an impressive roster that includes David Roberts, Stan Meissner, Colin Linden, Myles Hunter and John Whynot.

Hanson, while with Glass Tiger, co -wrote such hits as I'm Still Searching and I

identity as an artist," Hanson explains, "and as an individual. Writing and performing my

own material is now the driving force in my life."

not only its cultural significance but also its commercial viability. Recently, the Gipsy

Kings walked through a door that was kept open because of Pena's vision and dedication

to flamenco. Like heavy metal artists borrowing from

the blues, the Gipsy Kings successfully married Spanish flamenco with the pop of the

day, updating yet diluting the form. When discussing the Gipsy Kings and their

progressive, particular style, Pena treads carefully, attributing their phenomenal sales

to strong financial backing and an intelligent management team. Of the music,

specifically, he says, the vocals maintain the flamenco thread.

"The fellow who sings is obviously singing flamenco, as best he can," Pena

explains, "certainly a particular type of flamenco. I don't think that type of music

can be called flamenco though. I think it is an area of flamenco and, indeed, a limited area.

There are complex rhythms, structures and expressions within flamenco and those

people, with all my great respect, only dwell on one aspect of it, which is the lightest

form." Apparently, the inception of true

flamenco occurred during the first half of the nineteenth century among the European

,gypsies, who performed a vocal blend of folk music, well -travelled over many lands before

settling among the Andalucians. In fact, the guitar was introduced during the latter part

of the last century and, since, has quickly spread from a closed environment, around

the world. Today, the flamenco guitarist, especially Pena (and Montoya and Ricardo),

has preserved the art form, even in the wake of the new bands content on debasing the

music, while attempting to cross modern pop barriers.

"There is a great deal of reflection in the music," Pena continues. "Reflection about

life, about deep feelings and about pain. This is really the kind of technique you have to

master. In my case, I like to do things spontaneously and I don't like to prepare

things necessarily as I'm going to record them. There is some pressure, because you have to do it the first time. I set out to do one

performance, like I was in a concert situation, and even if there are some mistakes, that is the way I like it and I leave it

directly to be cut." Pena adds he doesn't like his recordings

at all, as each performance of each song changes daily, hence his music never remains

static or stale and, in most instances, they change for the better. Naturally, as an artist,

he is not worried about money, he records for love and nothing else.

"I haven't thought much about the commercial success of my music, because I

was required to do a record and that's what I did. If there is any consideration that I must take in the future, it is to be honest with my

music," he concludes. "But, looking further ahead, into more commercial areas, I will

certaily consider that with Nimbus. Although I think our main dedication is to present an

artistic expression as honest as possible without any consideration for commercial

ambition. I think flamenco has that in itself anyway: flamenco is commercial."

The station came up with the idea of."Where's 99 Night" after a comment madeby Vancouver coach Bob McCammon lasttime the Canucks beat the WayneGretsky-less Edmonton Oilers. "Slats(Sather) kept looking down the bench for

99.3 The FOX hostess Teresa McKenzie withCanucks fans and their controversial bibs.

Number 99 . . . but he wasn't there," saidMcCammon.

Staff members from The FOX handedout plastic bibs printed with huge "99's" tothe 16,000 fans at the March 16th game. Theywore them, waved them in the air andchanted "Where's 99" as the Oilers struggledand Sather fumed.

"If you get $15 million (the payment the.Oilers received from the L.A. Kings in theGretsky trade), then you've got to take theheat," says McCammon, continuing with,"Edmonton has stuck it up the nose of ourfans for some time." The Canucksmanagement have apparently apologized toSather, but Vancouver newspaper sportswriters were quick to praise the promotion."The crowd took great delight in chantingthe words that made Sather's blood boil",reported Mike Beamish of the VancouverSun.

MOJO NIXON & SKIDROPER - Root Hog Or DieEnigma - 7-73335-FWhile a good natured poke in the ribs isnot to everyone's liking, the take -no -prisoners Arlo Guthrie -like storytellingof these country boys has a charm thatcannot fall to win over fans, eventually.This latest offering by the masters ofthe novelty song does not seem gearedtoward mainstream radio although asingle, (619) 239-K.I.N.G. has beenreleased. From start to finish, thealbum is a cheerful tabloid -styleparody of American culture and achallenge to the listener to examinelife with a straight face. - CM

ROCK

ALANNAH MYLES PoplRockAlannah Myles - WEA - 78-19561-PSigned directly to Atlantic In the U.S.,this LP is getting a strong rush ofsupport from the "Inside out". Fiveyears of hard work and determinationfrom Myles' producer Ian Tyson, andexecutive producer Christopher Wardhave finally found the light of day, withall the airplay and press they couldhave hoped for. The debut single willbe Love Is, with possible follow-upsKickstart My Heart and an excellentballad, Lover Of Mine. This isold-fashioned rock 'n' roll from a freshnew talent. The energy is infectious,and if it can last the initial breakoiutperiod at radio, it should definitelycatch on. - RGTHELONIUS MONSTER PopStormy WeatherRelativity 6110021PUnfortunately, although kids candance to this guitar -oriented effort, theproduction is too muddy to achievemuch radio success. Apparently theintended hook is humour, with theemphasis tracks being Sammy HagarWeekend and a cover of TracyChapman's For My Lover, but the witisn't sharp enough to snag a largefollowing with this album. - CM

THE CULT - Pop/RockSonic Temple - Vertigo - 838 123-1-0Despite the fact that this project wasrecorded by Bob Rock at Vancouver'sLittle Mountain Sound, The Cult stillsound like The Cult. It's hard to believe,in fact, that this is a new record.Somehow, their artistic prowess wasleft behind on their debut. The firstsingle, Fire Woman, is doing dispropor-tionately well in Southern Ontario, andradio programmers should take heed:this band is not as good as they thinkthey are. New York City (and Toronto'sThe Demics' is so much better)features Iggy Pop on vocals. Perhapsthe U.K. press are right, for once. - GB

TIM FINN - Pop/RockTim Finn - Capitol - C1 -48735-FSplit Enz founder Tim Finn's firstrelease not surprisingly draws on thetalents of producer Mitchell Froom.Comparisons to Crowded House areunavoidable, and, at times, Finn's stylefalls remarkably close to vocal twinNeil. Although this probably will notfind the commercial success ofCrowded House's newest, Tim Finnhas created a very pleasing packagethat can't help but find a warmembrace. - RG

THE TREES - Pop/RockThe TreesCoconut Records - CNT-8801-EAlthough their approach to recordingisn't unique (computer sequencedbass, keyboards and drum machine),the vocal integrity of this Halifax triocertainly is. The vocals are fresh andaggressive, further enhanced by theirconfidence in interpreting the songmaterial, all of which is original. Give ItUp, a personal, anti -drug message, hasbeen taken as a single. Also key areCommon Ground, (Am I) Good EnoughFor You and Wrong Side Of Town.Produced by Jim Lamarche, DonnieChapman and Glenn Meisner and theTrees: Dave Roberts, Bruce Nelson andSteve Coady). Recorded at SolarStudios in Halifax and Hamilton'sGrant Avenue Studios. Distributed byElectric Distibution. Cancon. WG

Hardcore

JOE JACKSON - Pop/RockBlaze Of Glory - A&M - SP5249-WJoe Jackson's newest self -producedalbum once again proves that herefuses to let his approach becomestale. Rant & Rave is the most obviouschoice as a lead single, although theLP should be treated as a completework. It is obvious that Jackson'sintegrity is still placed ahead ofcommercial success and, at the veryleast, will further instill his abilityas a highly innovative and talentedartist. RG

JOHN GRACIE Country/PopThinkin"Bout MidnightWizzard (No number available)This is super -powerful stuff. Abeautiful mix of folk and country, andthe crossover potential Is obvious.Little wonder this lyrically -enchanting

talent won top honours at the recentMaritime Music Awards. Instrumentalbacking is superb and perfectlybalanced, adding a cushion of soundfor Grade's skillfully -projected vocals.I've Got A Dream has been taken as thethird single from this Fred Laveryproduction, an excellent follow-up toTake A Piece Of My Day and SeabirdsCry. Also key are Lullabye and BlueAre My Days. Cancon. - WG

BILLY NEWTONDAVIS - RockSpellbound - CBS - FC-44499HIt's going to be tough to follow up onthe success of his debut, but obviouslythis talented vocalist is on the righttrack. Each well written andmeticulously produced song isperfectly suited for radio. In fact, thisrecord should certainly fare extremelywell south of the border, if it isn'talready. Heavy handed helpers includeAndy Goldmark, Brian MacLeod, TimThomey and Celine Dion, on Can't LiveWith You, Can't Live Without You, anobvious second single choice, eventhough that will be quite a difficultdecision, a powerful testament to thisalbum's overall quality. - GB

STRAY CATSBlast OffEMI - E191401 -FAfter a long period of layoff to fulfilltheir respective solo desires, the bandis back together to make another at-tempt to sell their brand of nostalgicrock 'n' roll. Producer Dave Edmundsmust have been comfortable with theiroriginal sound, as there are no strikingchanges to report. Debut single, BringIt Back Again, should do well, althoughthis LP is not as CHR friendly as theCats' first record. Suffice to say that ifyou liked Built For Speed, you'llprobably like this one. RG
