I was going to meme it but I doubt many Americans know of them? Or I could be wrong.

By all means please do one. I've recommended some songs to Jessica and Pipe_Picasso (and anyone else I guess)
He passed at 9 PM eastern, around when I get up. I work at 10:45 so it was a long night! I made the meme at dinner. Sang songs all night. Sad.

My radio station Chom 97.7 FM, broke in right off in the morning for the news and than dedicated the rest of the day to Hip songs. :(

Thanks, that very nice. I have to say it gave me a chill listening to this song where he mentions his own eulogy.

Before I sleep
1. Bobcaygeon - About a cottage town in Ontario, has a line about Willie Nelson and wine lol
2. 38 years old
3. Blow At High Dough
4. Grace, too
5. 50 Mission Cap - this is about a hockey player, Bill Barilko. The last goal he scored (in overtime) won the Leafs the cup. That summer he disappeared on a fishing trip. The team didn't win another for 11 years, until plane wreckage and his body were discovered. I tear up as I write this ..I'm not joking
Talk to you later.

I listened to them all. They have a unique sound for each song which is rare. I actually like the 50 mission cap song the most.

I'm glad you listened. I don't have a favorite song, This is a band I listened to for 25+ years, they have a huge catalog of great tunes.

When I listened to blow at high dough, this guy commented he used to listen to them to help learn English and he used to think it was “blowing my nose” lmao

I feel like an ass, I seen this post and forgot to check them out. So I did this morning, and I really like them. I didn't want to comment yesterday on this, I'm sorry I didn't listen to them earlier. It's a shame Gord passed away. I know some people feel sorrow for celebrities passing. But, I look at it as they lived an amazing life even if it is too short. The band sound real tight, and his vocals fit just right to there sound. I'm going to have my wife listen to them.

Oh that's cool man, I understand everyone has their own stuff going on. Life can be busy.
I just mentioned this to you and Jessica because I've discussed music with you both, and I just guessed neither of you would be familiar with the band.
Thank you very much for the post, I appreciate it man.

I'm going to see if it's on Amazon music for free. If not, I will end up buying it. I do like their sound. In some ways lately, we have been turn off to newer music on the radio. We been finding fringe acts. Mostly country, like Whitey Morgan and Cody Jinx. If you like old Honkey Tonk sounds, check out Whitey Morgan. Btw, you have my support on everything brother.

Yes I do like Honkey Tonk, I'll check that out when I wake up. My tastes run the gamut from whiteboy 90's rap to classic blues. My wife loves House and disco, and anything Latin.
My 13 year old loves anime and plays stuff in Japanese, and she's learning the language. None of us play anything but the whole family loves music. Lol it's literally the one commen interest the wife and I have.

I hear ya, about the only music i don't like is gospel. The new stuff every once in awhile will be something I like.
