No seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like THE STAMPEDERS. A quick look at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors. Instead of trying to blend into any specific format, they developed their own identity, which was both entertaining to watch in concert, and to listen to on radio and records. The Stampeders also toured more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group of the same period.

While there were various line-ups of the group during their 15-year run, the current line-up of RICH DODSON ( guitars, vocals), KIM BERLY ( drums, vocals) and RONNIE KING ( bass, vocals) was, by far, the most successful and most widely-adored by the fans.
The group's beginnings can be traced back to Calgary in 1964 with a band called The Rebounds, formed when drummer, Kim Meyer (KIM BERLY), answered an ad placed in the paper by bassist, BRENDAN LYTTLE, and guitarist, RICH DODSON. The Rebounds consisted of RICH DODSON (lead guitar), LEN ROEMER (rhythmn guitar), BRENDAN LYTTLE (bass guitar), KIM BERLY (drums) and Kim's brother, Al Meyer (RACE HOLIDAY), on lead vocals.

In January of 1965, The Rebounds entered into a relationship with manager, Mel Shaw, and officially became The Stampeders. Len Roemer was replaced by Cornelis Van Sprang, known professionally as RONNIE KING, and his brother, Emile, who used the stage name VAN LOUIS. The six-man group started wearing assorted-coloured denim outfits and cowboy hats with the idea of promoting a group of cowboys playing rock 'n roll. During their first year as a band in Calgary, they had one single release on the SOTAN label entitled "House of Shake" b/w "Don't Look At Her."

Anticipating better things to come, The Stampeders decided to move to Toronto in 1966. At the invitation of Bigland booking agent, Ron Scribner, the six-man group, along with Mel Shaw and his family, loaded up their $800, used, '62 Cadillac limousine and U-Haul trailer, and left Calgary heading east to the 'big lights' of Toronto. Though most of the members were under the legal drinking age, they managed to beg, borrow and work their way across Canada, playing bars and various one-nighters. Upon their arrival in Toronto, the Western-Canadian band, with their yellow denim T-Kays, cowboy boots and hats, became an immediate curiosity in the folk-oriented, hippie clubs of the Yorkville district. Though the first year was an extremely lean one, the band managed to survive the six-month, Toronto Musician's Association's initiation and find work in the bustling Toronto club scene
 
The Stampeders finally had a breakthrough late in '68 with a single they recorded while on a sight-seeing trip to New York. Released on the independent label, CARAVAN, "Morning Magic" b/w "All The Time" wasn't much of a sales success, but critical acclaim earned the group a BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) Award.

The first major-label single release, "Be A Woman" b/w "I Don't Believe," came in 1968 on the MGM label in the U.S. The Stampeders played the rhythm tracks and sang the vocals while an inhouse MGM producer added a 16 piece string section. This was to be The Stampeders' final release as a six-member group. Late in 1968, the three oldest members - BRENDAN LYTTLE, VAN LOUIS and RACE HOLIDAY -left the band, leaving the line-up of RICH DODSON, KIM BERLY and RONNIE KING.

The period from late '68 to the mid '70's was a time of evolution for the new, three-man Stampeders in which they would develop their own sound, a sound that would take them around the world. The stage set-up had Dodson on guitar, King on bass and Berly on drums, while all three members shared lead vocals. With the exception of Dodson, the cowboy hats came off, they all still wore boots, but the colored T-Kay denim outfits became history. During this period, the band toured around Ontario and Quebec developing their stage show with the help of their new road man, lighting-wizard, Stan Whitcher, winning fans and becoming an in-demand club and one-nighter attraction.

The Stampeders' only release during 1969 was "Cross-Walk" b/w "I Don't Know Where I'm At Sometimes" on the Melbourne label, distributed by London Records. Quality Records, then a major independent label in Canada, became interested in the band. By mid-1970, The Stampeders were in the studio working on their first album, "Against The Grain". 

"Carry Me", the first single from this session, quickly hit the top of the Canadian charts, garnering the band it's first gold record. Simultaneously released on Polydor in the U.S., the single got lots of play but didn't quite make the charts. Canadian success, however, allowed the band to complete the album with one of their favorite recording engineers, TERRY BROWN. The resulting LP, "Against The Grain," was concurrently released with the next single, "Sweet City Woman" b/w "Gator Road." The band, along with it's new road crew -- Bob Luffman, Joel Wikhammer and Ian 'Snake' Dunbar -- was finally on it's way. 

The summer of 1971 saw "Sweet City Woman" climb the charts to the Number One position across Canada, catching the attention of the American label, Bell Records. The band was signed immediately and Bell rush-released the single in the U.S. Even though it was up against classic songs like The Doors' "Riders On The Storm," Paul and Linda McCartney's "Uncle Albert," and James Taylor's "You've Got A Friend," "Sweet City Woman" climbed the Billboard charts, reaching the Number Eight spot on September 11, 1971. The band recalls the time they pulled over to the side of the road at four-o'clock in the morning, while enroute back to Toronto from a gig, and jumped around the car with excitement after hearing "Sweet City Woman" fading in on radio station WABC in New York City as the Number One record of the week. Bell records renamed the album "Sweet City Woman" for the U.S. market to capitalize on the success of the single. Next came 'JUNO AWARDS' (Canada's version of 'The Grammy') for 'Best Vocal Instrumental Group,' 'Best Producer,' 'Best Single' and -- and their first European tour. In 1972, at the request of their U.K. label, EMI, The 'Best Composer' Stampeders toured The United Kingdom. Upon their arrival, they discovered that their American hit, "Sweet City Woman," had already been covered by The Dave Clark Five. Dates included the Marquee in London, the Hard-Rock Theatre in Manchester and appearances on BBC Radio and "Top Of The Pops." Both Phillips and Bovema-EMI Records helped support the balance of the tour through Holland, Germany, Denmark, France and the rest of Europe with British rock band, Steam Hammer. Holland was especially receptive to the band, partly due to the fact that Ronnie King (Cornelis Van Sprang) was a fellow Dutchman, having been born in Rotterdam. 

In Holland, The Stampeders received the prestigious 'EDISON AWARD' for "Most Promising Group," along with Ry Cooder and Beach Boy, Carl Wilson. Carl was in session at the time, along with the rest of The Beach Boys, recording their classic "Holland" album. During this visit, The Stampeders had the privilege of staying at Amsterdam's Hotel Weichman with the infamous Eagles. While Kim and Rich shared road experiences with Eagle drummer, Don Henley, Ronnie King and some of the other band members spent their time window-shopping in the famed, Amsterdam red-light district, only to find themselves locked out of the hotel upon their return. 

1972 also took The Stampeders to Los Angeles to perform at the legendary "Whisky A-Go-Go" and tape their appearances on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" and "The Dating Game." While hanging out at The Troubadour in Hollywood, Ronnie King met Keith Moon, drummer of The Who. Keith took a liking to Ronnie and asked him what he and The Stampeders were doing the next night. It happened to be Keith's birthday and he wondered if The Stampeders might be available to play at his party at The Beverly Hills' Wiltshire Hotel. Ronnie quickly replied, "Of course," and The Stampeders ended up on stage performing for some of Hollywood's rock elite and jamming with Keith Moon. Attendees at the party included Beach Boy, Brian Wilson, Neilson, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and the then-infamous porno star, Linda Lovelace. 

Signing with U.S. booking agency, Premier Talent, in 1971 led to American tour appearances with Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas, Santana, Joe cocker, Steve Miller, The James Gang, Robin Trower, Steely Dan, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Earth, Wind And Fire, Mountain, America, Tower Of Power, Blood, Sweat and Tears and Genesis. Establishing themselves as a good concert draw in the U.S., The Stampeders played everywhere from New York to Hawaii, including Los Angeles, Reno, Disneyland and the much-sought-after southern-college circuit. 

Heavy airplay and extensive touring, coupled with many guest appearances on the popular Canadian TV shows of the time (Anne Murray, Miss Teen Canada, Kenny Roger's "Rollin' On The River" and The Ian Tyson Show), eventually led to The Stampeders' starring in their own CBC-TV special, "A Short Visit To Planet Earth". 

1972 also saw the release of The Stampeders' second album "Carryin' On," featuring the lead-off single, "Devil You" b/w "Giant In The Streets." Although it was the last record released in the U.S. on Bell, the album gained a release in Europe on Regal Zonophone. It featured hard rocker "Wild Eyes," a song that gave their sound more edge and introduced the band to a whole new audience. Part of the appeal of The Stampeders was their musical versatility. 

The Stampeders' busy schedule also took them to Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil (South America). They were asked to represent Canada in the Rio De Janeiro Song Festival, which entailed performing to a live audience of 30,000 and a television viewership of 90-million. Accepting the offer was easy, but surviving the gig was another matter. The word was, "Don't drink the water." Little did they know that the locals washed the lettuce and watered down the milk with the water. Montezuma's revenge -- bigtime! Moreover, David Clayton Thomas, the U.S. representative, and Ronnie King, developed an affinity for the local drink, "Mescala," which led to some interesting situations. The label on the bottle displayed a dead scorpion. Ah, Brazil!! While 1971 was a banner year for The Stampeders, 1973 was, in many ways, their biggest year. Cross-Canada tours, coupled with the release of "Rubes, Dudes and Rowdies" and "From The Fire" kept the band very active. In Canada, both new singles, "Oh My Lady" and "Minstrel Gypsy," went gold, while follow-up singles, "Running Wild" and "Johnny Lightning," garnered heavy airplay and another JUNO nomination. Rich Dodson's solo single, "Julia Get Up," also went Top-Ten.The release of The Stampeders' fifth gold album, "New Day," saw the emergence of a more experimental sound and a highly popular single, "Ramona." Their live-album, "Backstage Pass," was recorded at Ontario Place before a sold-out crowd of 17,000 fans. This was soon followed by the heavier, "Steamin," which contained a cover version of "New Orleans" and the infamous get-together of Ronnie King and U.S. radio D.J., Wolfman Jack, for the recording of "Hit The Road Jack." 

The Stampeders met Wolfman Jack, and became good friends, while taping an NBC television special at the Saratoga Springs Song Festival in 1975. On April 4, 1976, "Hit The Road Jack" went Top-Forty in the U.S. and reached Number One in Canada and Holland, where it stayed for two weeks. The song featured vocals and dialogue between Wolfman Jack and Ronnie King, who uses his real name Cornelis. Cornelis pleads with Wolfman to let him stay at his mansion, because his 'baby' just threw him out of the house. The success of the single led to the release of The Stampeders' final gold album, "Hit The Road," and another JUNO nomination. It was later released in Europe by Quality records and in the U.S. on the Private Stock Label. 
The departure of Rich Dodson in 1977 signaled the end of the three-man Stampeders' unit which had been together since 1968. Rich left the band to start his own 24-track recording studio and independent record label, Marigold. The final three singles with Dodson, "Playing In The Band," "Sweet Love Bandit," and "San Diego" were released in 1976. 
With the release of "Platinum" in 1977, the new band's line-up included original members, Ronnie King and Kim Berly, along with back-up musicians Gibby Lacasse (drums and percussion), Ian Kojima (tenor and baritone sax and flute), David Norris-Elye (tenor and soprano sax), Doug Macaskill (guitar) and Gary Scrutton (guitar and vocals). Single releases included the horn-based R&B track, "Bring The House Down." Following "Platinum," TeeVee International released a "Best of The Stampeders" hit package. The failure of the new jazzier, funky-sounding Stampeders to gain critical and commercial acceptance, along with the increased cost of supporting the large band, eventually led to the departure of drummer, Kim Berly. Also gone was the band's recording deal with Quality records. 
Ronnie King tried to keep the flame burning with a new album on Apex called "Ballsy." The new line-up included Ronnie's youngest brother, Roy Van Sprang, Bob Allwood and Gary Storin. Lack of sales, high overhead and disappointed fans led to the band's final break up in 1980 and the departure of manager, Mel Shaw. 

In 1979, Kim Berly started his own new-wave band, The Cry, in which he performed under the name, Kimball Fox. Two album releases on RCA, good sales and intensive touring sustained the band for a couple of years, but mounting personal problems forced Kim to leave the music scene. From 1983 to 1989, Kim went briefly into acting, gaining recognition in the Toronto theatre community. Despite speculation within the music industry about just how successful The Stampeders would have been had they focused on just one style of music, one thing remains clear -- they left an enduring musical legacy. Between 1970 and 1977, they released ten albums and 15 singles, with six albums and seven singles going gold. Along with three Billboard chart singles in the U.S., The Stampeders had ten, Top-Ten singles in Canada. They also won three JUNO Awards, three BMI Awards, an EDISON Award and toured Canada, Europe, the U.S., including Hawaii, and South America.

Since reuniting in 1992, the original Stampeders - Rich Dodson, Kim Berly and Ronnie King - have become continual favourite at fairs, festivals, theatres, casinos and corporate functions. Juno award winners with NINE gold and platinum albums to their credit, and TEN top 10 hits (Sweet City Woman, Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack, Ramona, Playin' in the Band, Then Came the White Man, Running Wild...) , this classic rock band has been delighting fans with their unique brand of musical entertainment.. Audiences, young and old alike, are drawn into the excitement of the STAMPEDERS music as they perform their hits from the '70's. With their inimitable musical style and subtle sense of humour, Rich, Ron and Kim are seasoned entertainers who always leave their audiences standing on their feet cheering for more.

Discover The Commercial Real Estate Techniques Of The Pros

When you buy or sell commercial real estate, you need to have all your ducks in a row. And, no matter how adept you believe you are in this particular area, you may be missing something that's obvious or even something that you didn't know about. This article has a variety of tips concerning commercial property investment.

Keep in mind that commercial real estate takes longer to sell, renovate and purchase. It is still a great way to make a nice profit when buying and selling it, but always keep in mind that it is a longer process than buying and selling residential real estate would be.

One important tip to remember when investing in commercial real estate is that you need patience. This is important to remember because just about every step along the way will take longer than purchasing or remodeling a home. This is due to stricter codes as well as much more intricate contracts and policies. With patience, your investment will pay off.

If you are in a roommate situation you should have everything in writing that clearly states what is expected of each person as far as rent and bills is concerned. This will come in handy if someone tries to move out without paying all that they are responsible for.

If your rental's, laundry facility has a bulletin board, make sure that you talk to the property management to see if it is okay for you to display your advertisement or want ad. Some rentals don't allow the display of every ad or sign and they must pre-approve it before public display.

Do some legwork when looking for a real estate agent. Before choosing an agent, take a look around town. What agents or agencies do you see most advertised? Do you see any of their signs in front of houses? How many of these houses have sold? Let this help you make a choice in picking the most promising agent.

In the beginning, a great deal of time might be required to spend on your investment. It will take time to find an opportunity that is profitable, and afterwards, you may have to wait for repairs and remodeling before you can start monetizing your investment. Do not let the lengthy nature of the process discourage you. The investment will be repaid as time goes on.

Start looking for financing before you worry about finding property to invest in. You will not be able to know what to look for if you do not know how much money you can borrow. Find a financial institution or a private lender that is interested in your project and establish a budget with them.

Do not make the mistake of assuming that you have learned everything there is to know when it comes to commercial real estate. Create a mindset for yourself that is open to the fact that there is always something for you to learn, so that you can stay motivated to building your position on the market. Implement your knowledge effectively to boost your success!

My DJ alias basically came out of nowhere--it started as an online alias, and kinda just stuck. I'm also known as DJ Bob Kemp, DJ Tuvok, DJ Skip Donahue, DJ Can I Borrow Your Phone Because My Battery's Dying, and a host of other names.

My roots in DJ'ing go back to my high-school years in Memphis, TN, and my military years with the 101st Airborne, where I learned the basics of hip-hop scratching and mixing, beatmaking, cratedigging and live performance. Like most DJ's my age, I can remember a world without MP3's and the internet, where all you had to go on to find the perfect break or beat was a magazine article or word of mouth--because of that, I have an appreciation for the vinyl-centric side of DJ culture, though I've just started to introduce digital elements to my sets.

Upon my arrival in the Pacific Northwest over ten years ago, I hosted a proto-podcast for about four or five years, worked with a number of artists and broadcasters and started working as a DJ in the Burning Man community. Around that time, I started an instrumental hip-hop project called the Last Days of Russell, which I still revisit from time to time.

Most recently, I founded a Facebook music group called Vinyleaters, and worked offline with some of the group's first members to organize a revolving crew of DJ's who operate under that name. To date, we've been selected to perform at a number of private and public functions throughout Seattle. I stepped down from management of the group late last year, but I continue to gig and do my own thing.

Tips And Tricks For Dealing With Commercial Real Estate

Figuring out how to get accurate and timely information about commercial real estate is one of the stepping stones to success. Navigating the market can be a daunting task. There are a multitude of sources for good tips. Below you will find the best tips available for helping you reach your goals.

If you have decided to become a landlord, join an association of landlords in your local area. Having the extra support can be extremely beneficial. Things likely will go wrong with your rental properties and when they do, you'll need advice and resources to turn to.

When you begin to advertise your real estate through a website, you must understand that you have a very short amount of time to catch your visitors attention. If your content is not focused, you will instantly lose thousands of potential buyers. Make sure your site is focused if you want to get customers.

It is important that you understand that the real estate market is not like the stock market. An investment in a property is a long term investment. Stock investments are usually short term investments. If you go in thinking you are investing in stock, you need to rethink so you do not get yourself in financial trouble.

Start looking for financing before you worry about finding property to invest in. You will not be able to know what to look for if you do not know how much money you can borrow. Find a financial institution or a private lender that is interested in your project and establish a budget with them.

When you build upon the ideas in this article you will find that your success will be faster and greater. The ideas are universal, though you may want to seek out commercial real estate information that is specific to your area and market. Keep educating yourself and you will have the best results.

A Cloakroom Assembly (aka ACA) produces 'sound story' projects and gentle ‘time stands still - machines’. I was never very good at - or - even very interested in explaining what I was doing As a teenager I enjoyed a secret place for making ‘private noise’ which began with collaborations with my sister Angela as a teenager in the early 1970’s, as I tried to re-construct the Beatle’s “Revolution 9” and assemble ‘mock-Stockhausen’ sound stories. I was always impressed by the sense of ‘place/situation’ and ‘narrative/people’ in the Beatles Revolution 9 and the shape of sound as ‘time stood still’ in the work of Eno’s ‘Onland’ and Tangerine Dream’s ‘Zeit’. A Cloakroom Assembly in the late 1970s at the same time as I co-founded M. Squared label. In 1995 I retreated from making public noise and touring overseas, into family and academic life, yet still I was driven to assemble hours and hours of unreleased sound stories. The sound stories began increasingly longer, more as ‘time stands still – machines’. I would frequently break them down and recycle and re assemble and overlay. The titles are unimportant. 

Members:
A Cloakroom Assembly is mostly Michael Tee/Coffey. Keyboards, Guitars, Noises, Loops etc.. ... no sequencers or real time correction

Influences:
Everything I have ever heard I borrow. Even if on a subliminal level. I refuse/reject the idea of an experimental 'genre'. Experimental is a process everyone uses. This Cloakroom stuff is not just an experiment in 'sounds' but also in arrangements of notes.

Sounds Like:
Fripp and Eno, Fripp's Soundscapes (cept for his annoying use of bell/piano sounds) early Tangerine Dream (up to Phaedra, especialy Zeit), the bits in the fade ins/outs of songs, eg the ending of Strawberry Fields Forever, or the drone at the end of Rip Off by T.Rex, or that middle bit in Close to the Edge, Harold Budd (without beats), Electric Miles Davis without the trumpet, tummy rumbles lying in bed at night, that funny ringing sound in your ears, listening to that sound in the distance.
