Revisiting the SCTV stuff is a real treat. The Plasmatics also
performed a tune and played along with the bit as well.

Was this a recurring sketch that featured John Candy as a fisherman who
hung
out at a fishing lodge with a group of musicans? And in between
fishing,
the musicians would perform a song or two?
I recall an episode where Robert Gordon was hanging out at the lodge.
It
was cool to see/hear him perform Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday, Someway".
As an aside, I think around the same (early 80's) NBC's Tom Snyder began
hosting music acts on his late night show. I remember seeing The
Ramones,
The Jam, Adam and the Ants, U2 and the infamous Plasmatics perform on
his
show. I think that for most of these groups, his show offered them
their
first US appearance on TV. At the time, I thought he enjoyed having
these
acts on, but in later interviews, old Tom stated that the network brass
pushed the acts on him in a failed attempt to boost ratings with the
college crowd.>
