<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />King Ganam, born Ameen Sied Ganam on August 9, 1914 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan to an English mother and Syrian father. Picking up the fiddle at an early age and undertaking informal lessons from local old-time performers, by the age of nine Ganam was playing local dances and by 13 was making live appearances on CHWC radio in Regina. He would later undertake more formal training from such fiddle greats as W. Knight Wilson, Jack Thornicroft, and Gregori Garbovitsky.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Relocating to Edmonton, Ganam formed his first band, Sons of the West, in 1942 and went on to perform on CBC Radio's “Alberta Ranch House”, winning the 1950 World Open Western Band Competition in Vancouver. This led to a recording contract with RCA Victor and his nickname, “Canada's King of the Fiddle”. Ganam relocated to Toronto in 1952 where he performed on various CBC Radio and TV shows throughout the decade, including “Holiday Ranch” and “Country Hoedown.” In 1961 came “The King Ganam Show” on CTV, and one year later he moved to southern California for the remainder of his life, though he would regularly return to Canada to perform.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />In 1989, King Ganam was one of the original inductees to the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. He passed away on April 26, 1994, leaving behind an incredible life and a vibrant recorded legacy, with a dozen or so sides cut throughout the ‘50s, and four later LPs. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ganam always felt an affinity for the nomadic tribes of his ancestry and recognized parallels to cowboy and western swing music. In 1954, a magazine article described Ganam's "dark good looks, flashing brown eyes and Syrian background...King Ganam looks as if he'd be at home dashing across the desert on an Arabian steed. But says he, the only plains he has ever dashed across are those in Southern Saskatchewan where he was born and grew up."</span> </span><br />

<br />
Lately, I'm rather taken by this homespun George Harrison cover, as found on the lone album from Kuriakos (Belonging to the Lord). <br />
<br />
<i>Twelve young people, "belonging to the Lord", is what KURIAKOS is all about. Selected by auditions from across Canada, they came together in the spring of 1971 to prepare for an intense summer of singing and travel which took them to New Brunswick in the east and VanCouver in the west.</i><br />
<br />
Kuriakos was sponsored by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada through its Divison of Congregational Life (based in Saskatoon), and four of its twelve members were from Saskatchewan.

A new all-Canadian mix a friend and I compiled is up now on Aquarium Drunkard. Mostly mellow 60s/70s stuff from varying shades of unknowns and featuring a moody instrumental from SK hero Howard.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ivan passed away in early December at the age of 76. Though he made a CD in recent years, his only other recorded appearance was three excellent Marty Robbins covers from the <i>Saskatchewan Jubilee Vol. 2: Stars From A Gala Night</i> LP. According to the back cover, Ivan "was selected the Diamond Jubilee Star of 1965 and received a trip a trip to Hollywood and an appearance on Bonanza as winner of the Saskatchewan Talent Search." Condolences to family and friends. He will be missed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">PRINCE ALBERT ROVING GUITARS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Wandering Boy" b/w "Help The Poor Farmers"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">19??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Astral-Plains (CS-69G28)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Dating from the late 60s or early 70s, this is a wonderful 45 with
both sides written by Edna Fidyk—her singular voice backed by the
crackshot Prince Albert Roving Guitars.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With her voice front and center, “Wandering Boy” is Fidyk’s appeal
to an absent lover. A buoyant bass line anchors a bright guitar, with some very
subtle percussion and lovely male backing vocals rounding out the sound. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Help The Poor Farmers" takes side one’s plea, mixes it
with protest, and directs it squarely at Pierre Trudeau. Speaking on behalf of farmers
everywhere, Fidyk’s voice is again at the forefront, sitting here between a
pair of roving guitars and possibly a tiny bit of organ. With genuine lines like
“Please Mr. Trudeau do your share / Treat your farmers fair and square,” what might be misguided or naïve is instead remarkably prescient and entirely
human.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Though I'm not sure if Edna Fidyk was a
fully-fledged member of PARG, she does appear on one—perhaps
two—related 45s. And as far as I know, PARG released only one other 45
("The Changing Scene" can be heard on <span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/06/12/prairie-to-pine-a-vintage-saskatchewan-mixtape/"><i><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Prairie To Pine</span></span></i></a></span>) and appeared on Jim Munro's <i>Roving
Saskatchewan</i>.<i> </i>I believe Munro was a PARG member and his lone
full-length is pretty well my favourite Saskatchewan LP. Astral-Plains was Edna
Fidyk's own label and released at least two other 45s (one by herself, one by
Jim Munro). Sadly, she passed away a few years ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(No Label)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Here’s what I think is the earliest record
in my Saskatchewan collection. Two short civic pride anthems recorded by a pair
of CFQC radio announcers.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bob Bradburn’s “Saskatoon” is little more
than a chorus (with requisite Bessborough and “City of Bridges” mentions), all
swelling organ anchored by his stately voice.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Side 2 is a brighter affair, pitting 2<sup>nd</sup>
Avenue and CFQC against the world, set against barroom piano and with a guitar
way down in the mix. I prefer Frank Callaghan’s “Saskatoon” for his voice and
turn of phrase, but the songs work well together: A two-sided 1960 Saskatoon coin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Summer In Saskatchewan" b/w "Morning Rap Song"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1987</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Z99 WRC3-5335)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Not much to say about this one, but in the interest of <i>preserving history</i>, here it is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
"Summer In Saskatchewan" is little more than a rather specific rant set to music, though the female backing vocals, the arena rock guitar, and some bizarre panning of wordless vocals offer a tiny bit of respite. "Morning Rap Song" is CC in "Run DM CC" mode and would be even more unbearable than Side A if it weren't half as long. But if you can hang in for two minutes, you'll hear the single's most ridiculous ten seconds, which is really saying something. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Released by Z99, I can only presume CC or co-writer/producer Dave Lloyd worked for the Regina radio station. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All in all, a great example of why I'm hesitant to steer this ship into the 1980s. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This song was written and recorded by Manitoba's Irvin Freese immediately following a horrific mass murder in Shell Lake. Stark lyrics detail the incident and are coupled with the cries of Irvin's young daughter Jacqueline (echoing the one child spared), turning the song into something deeply unsettling. Not surprisingly, Eagle Records was threatened with a lawsuit and the record was recalled almost immediately. Side 2 features a fine version of Wilf Carter's "Fate of Old Strawberry Roan," but I'm here for the Saskatchewan connection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Lumby 45-LP101)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm thinking this single is from the late 1960s, but I have no information beside what's on the label. Regardless, it's a total two-sider.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A band naming one of its songs after itself (or vice-versa) is one of my many soft spots and "The Voyageurs" delivers in a big way. The song's lyrical content is historical and expansive, and I can't get enough of the hypnotic banjo throughout. The drums picking up at the very end make me wish it was at least thirty seconds longer. The flip side is fuelled by spite and almost as good, narrowing the scope to a failed relationship.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">THE RISING SONS </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">One For The Road</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">197?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Nite Hawk NH-1002)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">I’m not sure where they were from (I’m speculating Melville), but The Rising Sons were a trio from 1973-1986. They also released a double live album, which I’ll write about at a later point. Member </span><a href="http://www.lengadica.com/" target="_blank">Len Gadica</a> has been performing as a “1 Man Band” since 1987 and is still going strong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I’m
going to come clean immediately and confess my relative ignorance with regards
to polkas/waltzes/etc., though I’m working on changing that with this
site. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Side
A of </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">One For The </i><i style="font-family: inherit;">Road</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> features a
handful of such songs and the prospect of coming across ones similar to “Gajdzica’s Kielbasa” has me looking forward to wading through my backlog of SK records. Call me crazy here, but the (mostly) restrained
drumming is pure motorik and wouldn’t sound out of place on a Neu!
record. The song gets unexpectedly heavy in its short
running time and I’ve found myself revisiting it way more often than I could
have imagined. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">The accordion-led version of “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” features vocal harmonies throughout and nice guitar playing, while their take on Frankie Yankovic’s “Hu-La-La-La” hints at raucous nights spent in bars and nightclubs.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Old
Man’s Song” is the only Len Gadica original on the album to feature vocals and lyrically it’s in the same vein as Harry Chapin’s “Cats in the Cradle,” as
covered on Side B. Whereas I’m yet to hear a version of the latter I enjoy,
“Old Man’s Song” is understated and gorgeous, propelled by light accordion,
soft drumming, and tasteful guitar. Wordless background vocals weave in and out
and there are harmonies on the chorus, but the real highlight here for me is
the harpsichord-sounding keyboard. Three other instrumentals make up the rest
of Side A.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Side AA is the rock and roll side of <i>One For The Road</i>, with a playful version “Drivin My Life Away” starting things off. Murray Zimmer’s drumming is again on display, paired here with fantastic lead vocals and another appearance from the harpsichord sound-alike. “Rockin Pneumonia” continues the fun and brings the guitar to the forefront for the first time. The aforementioned "Cats in the Cradle" proves the album's only misstep to my ears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Penned
by non-member Lonnie Piller,“Storms Of Life” is Side AA’s only original, and my
favourite song on the record, but I’ll allow it to speak for itself below. A
requisite cover of “Hang On Sloopy” and the nightcap “Goodnight Sweetheart”
round out the album.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Side 1 features Jim Roberts putting his
civic pride songwriting chops (see: "Saskatchewan" from the first RFS
mix) to work for the wheat pool, with a shifting narrative condensing fifty
years of history into less than two minutes. There's a lot to love here,
though I'm especially fond of the backing vocals and the strings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Side 2 is an a cappella number by Mel
Friesen & The Mel-O-Tones covering much of the same ground, albeit with
a look to the future. Unfortunately, my copy is slightly warped and will not
play through.</div>
