Chilliwack, Cowboy Junkies, Andy Kim and Bobby Curtola-are in the Hall
Some of my fave artists growing up got inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame today...
CARAS announced that Andy Kim, Chilliwack (who I saw live about 6 years ago and they were excellent)...The Cowboy Junkies and the late great Bobby Curtola all got the nod and will be celebrated on October 27th in Calgary Alberta at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre.
Congrats to all...they not only impacted Canadian air waves...but the fabric of Canadian Culture...I still remember Marc "Mes Oui" Denis playing Andy Kim and grooving to Chilliwack in High School...where lumberjack jackets and Greb Kodiaks were a fashion statement!
I am going to go and YouTube "Rock me Gently" now for old times sake... lol

WOW Really. Given their many great hits, longevity and to my mind fantastic albums, the fact that they are not in the Hall is a travesty. Probably my favorite Canadian band, and one of my all time favorite bands.
Lighthouse was the soundtrack to my summers. I actually saw them about 3 or 4 years ago with Skip Prokop in Orillia, and had the chance to see them I think for the last time with Bob McBride when they appeared in studio on the Dini Petty show at CTV Toronto. He was back and performing after his unfortunate time away. Both shows...fantastic.
If they are not in the hall there is something wrong.

All four certainly are worthy of being inducted. Has anyone been to the National Music Centre in Calgary? I know it has not been open all that long, with Studio Bell. I thought it was great that they chose to build the centre in the west. And I do agree, hopefully Lighthouse will be inducted next year. Nice that Andy Kim has moved back home, I believe he lives in Toronto, and good on him with his annual charity Christmas concerts in Toronto and Montreal.

Great artists! Especially Chilliwack. You can hear a lot of these on Boom, Q and Jewel.

Nice to see Bobby Curtola finally recognized. Not only did he have a lot of hits (before regs), he also did a lot of charitable work.
