SHUFFLE

Not really MY iPod

1. ECHOES (Pink Floyd), from
   Echoes (Disc One)

Rebuild the Wall

(If you have not heard the Luther Wright and the Wrongs country version of The Wall, then you have not lived, yet. Check out the video, on YouTube, for the song The Wall.)

2. BEAUTIFUL (Gordon Lightfoot), from
   Complete Greatest Hits

(This song can also be heard on the Margot & Greg Wedding CD. Greg is, of course, the Lightfoot fan. Seen him a few times. Several times at Massey Hall. The latest time at the N.A.C. in Ottawa. He wrote many great songs. This would be one of his best love songs. Originally recorded on "Don Quixote".)

3. NEW ORLEANS IS SINKING (The Tragically Hip), from
   Up To Here

Not Bananaskins

(Finally got to see The Hip when they opened the K-Rock Centre. The road right in front of the arena has just been re-named "The Tragically Hip Way". I wanted them to play at Bananaskins one New Year's Eve. I met Paul in the beer store and I asked him what they were doing New Year's? He said: The A.C.C., I think. I asked if it was BOOKED yet, and he said: Yes. So we were looking for a Hip replacement.)

4. I DON'T REMEMBER (Peter Gabriel), from
   Shaking the Tree: 16 Golden Greats

(I WAS going to say something.... but...)

5. THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES (Pink Floyd). from
   Echoes (Disc One)

6. TIME (Pink Floyd), from
   Echoes (Disc Two)

7. THE DARKEST ONE (The Tragically Hip), from
   Yer Favourites (Disc Two)

(Paul Langlois worked for me at Red Lobster. The definition of a Kingstonian is: Someone who knows someone in The Hip. A Canadian is: Someone who knows someone in the N.H.L. Chris Rock also got his start at Red Lobster. But not in Kingston.)

8. BIG TIME (Peter Gabriel), from
   Shaking the Tree: 16 Golden Greats

9. NOT FADE AWAY (The Crickets), from

Buddy Holly

   Buddy Holly Greatest Hits (Original Recording Remastered)

(The Stones cover of this song was their first hit. We once marked The Day the Music Died at Frank Vetere's by featuring a drink called "The Bloody Holly".)

10. SULTANS OF SWING (Dire Straits), from
   Money for Nothing

This Is Us

(I still remember where I was when I first heard this song. I thought it was Bob Dylan singing. I have since become a big Mark Knopfler fan. His duet with Emmy Lou Harris, "This Is Us", was a song featured at our wedding. I think we will call our wedding book "THIS IS US".)
