@BWheelerglobe @Hebsyman GF allowed John Ellison to live in comfort for the rest of his life in Dundas

@Hebsyman A good chunk of Grand Funk Railroad's singles discography.

La Bamba

@BWheelerglobe At Grant Avenue Studio. Lorraine's mom used to have the band over for supper at their west mountain home.

I was thinking about this song. Found out today Daniel Lanois produced it. Did not know!

@BWheelerglobe The Fabulous Thunderbirds' album was produced and co-written by Hamilton's Steve Strongman

Congratulations to Sue Foley for earning a Grammy nomination today for One Guitar Woman. Others vying for the Best Traditional Blues Album award are Cedric Burnside, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Little Feat, and Taj Mahal.

@VaughnPalmer Wow ... that's been at least 40 years in the making. I remember writing about it in the 80s.

Site C reservoir now filled says BC Hydro. 1st generating unit running. Remaining 5 by fall 2025. Christy Clark started project with NDP opposed. In office, John Horgan twice decided to continue. Friend jokes “the Horgan Dam in front of Lake Christy.”

@jfrketich @TheSpec Great reporting, Joanna. Well done.

@kbolan Be safe, Kim

When I first reported on Ryan, I got angry calls/emails from some family members.

@ORDeadHead @GratefulDead It was Phil

@GratefulDead Pretty sure Brent sang on Broken Arrow at Autzen '93, my first show.

"This is a rare near-contemporary hit the Grateful Dead covered, joining ‘Hey Jude’ from 1969 and ‘Werewolves Of London’ in 1978. Robbie Robertson wrote the song and included it on his 1987 solo debut album. In 1991, Pop superstar Rod Stewart covered the song, and less than two years after its release, the Grateful Dead started covering it, sung by Phil Lesh. A very welcome addition to the setlist." - David Lemieux  After the Dead first introduced Robertson’s ‘Broken Arrow’ to their repertoire in February ‘93, they kept it in rotation, playing it another 34 times, including this performance in June of the same year at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.

@kbolan @VancouverSun Seems like just yesterday

Before I started the @VancouverSun 40 years ago today, all my jobs had been for less than a year! I never imagined I'd still be here 4 decades later! But I love being a reporter and writing about important issues in my city and province. #localnewsmatters

@TweeetLorraine I have the same mug

@VaughnPalmer Can't count the number of times I asked a reporter to "match" a George Garrett story.

breaking news on CKNW: the passing of George Garrett. legendary is over used in our business but never with him. And if George were here, he would have broken this news 20 minutes before everyone else.

Terra Lightfoot finds ‘Healing Power’ with new album, new home, new marriage 👉 thespec.com/entertainment/… #HamOnt | This is Lightfoot’s fifth studio album and probably her strongest, @RockatTheSpec writes.

@nicojennings Going to Toronto, by McKenna Mendelson Mainline

@fallonhewitt_ Ghostbusters rule

@RockatTheSpec That I don’t mind 🫢

pretty sure you can get all of these flavours at Grandads any day of the week! #HamOnt

@batcountry1980 Thank you, that was special.

An under appreciated gem for so many years. Yet Beatles fans always knew and loved it. Now it’s going to be on the new Blue album. Would have preferred it to stay a buried gem to be discovered personally youtu.be/M4vbJQ-MrKo?si…

@DouglasTodd nor should we allow foreign agencies to commit murder on our turf

“While it remains the worst mass murder in Canadian history, an Angus Reid poll ahead of the 38th anniv. of the bombing found 9 in 10 people had little or no knowledge of the incident.” No wonder Canadians don’t understand Khalistan activism. #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/news/canada/ca…

@DouglasTodd It's so important to remember this ... can't believe the number of Khalistan stories I've read without mention of Air India/Narita bombings, both cooked up in the sleepy little town of Duncan. Context is everything. We shouldn't be a haven for terrorists, nor should we allow

@keithbaldrey PS: The correct answer, of course, is not "The Jets" ... it's the Forty-Niners

@keithbaldrey Thanks for this, Keith. I remember almost crying the first time I saw this ... this time I couldn't hold back the tears. Hope you are well

This should be viewed annually or so as a reminder to folks of the reality of the US. (And others).. Brilliant. #uspoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli

@kirklapointe @BCLions CATS!

A substantial part of ⁦@BCLions⁩ appear on summer holidays. For second week in a row. They can’t get anything going.
