I just picked up an LP from 1977 called "Dawning Day", by C.B. Victoria.
It's an album I used to have, but foolishly got rid of in my big purge of
1993. The album is a nice mix of originals and covers, with a sound kind of
in a Colin Blunstone (solo, not Zombies) vein. What's most interesting
about the LP, for me anyway, is that Mr. Victoria does a cover of "To
Claudia On Thursday", the song originally done by The Millennium. This of
course was way before the recent rediscovery of The Millennium by way of
resurrecting the memory of Curt Boettcher, so I wonder how the song came to
his attention?
The album was recorded in Toronto and Victoria's management was in
Vancouver. I noticed an entry for him in Jaimie Vernon's on-line Canadian
pop encyclopedia, although there was no bio. Given that the bios are being
updated on the site, I wonder if Mr. Vernon can shed some light on this
gent? Do tell!
