poltr1On a lark, I started searching YouTube for songs I haven't heard in years. Some songs I have in my collection, in various formats (vinyl, cassette, CD). And a few I don't have in any form except brain memory. Lo and behold, YouTube continues to deliver. I'm slowly building a playlist on YouTube containing these hits. I may split this off into several playlists over time. Right now the playlist has 17 songs and counting.
Looking at this playlist, I'm realizing that there is a significant number of songs by Canadian artists which didn't -- and still don't -- get a lot of airplay south of the US/Canadian border. Jane Siberry, Triumph, Saga, Gowan, Kim Mitchell, The Box. I was blessed to have grown up in a border town and be exposed to a wide variety of music. That's another thing I miss about Buffalo.
I'd like to challenge the local "we play anything" station to play some songs by these artists.
