A well-researched piece that highlights the role of trailblazers like Grealis and Klees. Thanks for writing! It’s inspired me to dig deeper into this history.
Fabulous write-up on CanCon evolution!! Brought back a lot of great memories of the 60s-80s in particular. So many excellent musicians were trying to make it in the entertainment field - you needed some additional way to make money, or be fed at the pubs, restaurants, where you played. Challenging back then. Well, still challenging for different reasons...

Thanks David! Thanks for reading. It's fascinating. At least, I think so.

Thanks Celia! I'm so grateful for these folks. Without their efforts I may not have heard so much awesome Canadian music over the years.
