S'ok, you can keep Shania, too.

Remember Ken, you don't have to listen to her.......

John Roberts...I will always remember him as J.D. Roberts from The New Music TV show back in the 80's. I always chuckle when I hear him say his proper name.

I know, I know... I'll get back on working on their numbers again in September. Yeesh. If only more people ATE the damn things, I could go out hunting more.

Maybe someone should invent the GooTurDucKen.

Yep, the Much Music Power Hour, with the hair and the..... hair.

I am talking about the show when it was a stand alone in the early 80s before Much Music was around, Much Music's predecessor, it also had Jeannie Bekker(sp?) from Fashion Television as the co-host.

The "show" was "The New Music" on city TV back in the 70s. Channel 79 in Southern Ontario if the brain cell remembers correctly.

Wow, that's before my time. I didn't realize he was on TV before MM. Cool.

I said The New Music in my original post didn't I? Looking.....I did, I did...

Just read about a broken hockey stick for a pool cue in another thread, and it made me think of the many uses people have come up with for the broken stick. I can remember many benches built out of broken hockey sticks using the good portion of the shaft as slats for the seat and back etc., truly classic Canadiana.

Okay, broken hockey stick uses.....pool cue as noted, the best tomato plant sticks available anywhere(also for planting/tying saplings), guys used to use them to protect the tunnels on their snowmobiles when they studded the tracks.

Missed your post re. "The New Music" Jay. Funny to see Roberts on CNN these days....Jeannie Bekker? well she's just...funny

Adrian, I believe you need at least two brain cells to "fire" together in order for your memory to function, so you might be in a little bit of trouble there
