Donnie Iris - Back On The Streets
The title track playing at A&A Records in Weyburn where I grew up - bought
it right away even though there was a dude in his underwear on the cover.
Still play it once a month or so.
Okra Records Sampler
Pete from Shake records in Ottawa played it every time I went in the store -
the nasal vocals would make the hair on my arms stand up - I did not like it
at all. After the fourth or fifth visit I knew all the songs and asked what
it was. Peter laughed and told me he'd been messing with my head until I
came around - I bought everything on Okra I could get. Then when I moved
back to Regina - my friend who owns the indie store here had become an Okra
fan too - he was told by the distributor that he'd sold more copies of The
Fellow Travellers than any other store in North America. The power of the
little guy one-on-one!
