Ballad of Tom Henke
I recently wrote about Terminator Tom Henke, and Stephanie was nice enough to email me an MP3 of the Ballad of Tom Henke. This was on a 1991 Blue Jays compilation and it's pretty sweet.

And what I keep forgetting to tell you is that Humble and Fred have the CFNY Contribution on that CD too. Maybe Fred or Howard could help you out with that until I finally find my long-lost CD in a moving box..

Are you telling me this 1991 Blue Jays CD has a track from Humble and Fred?

Oh yes...and I'm afraid to say (becuase it might not be..) but I think it's Mr. Goohead.

I just had a Gtalk chat with Humble Howard...

me: quick question - did a H+F track appear on a 1991 Blue Jays compilation cd?
Howard: yes.
me: spill the deets - what was the tune, do you have this album?
Howard: it was a song i originally did with my friend jeff lumby in mtl called Habs to the top. I redid it at the edge and called it jays to the top.

I have the 1992 cd and i was just wondering if it was still possible to find the 1989 cd and where I might be able to get it.

Is there any way I can get a copy of "Habs to the Top"? I'm an ex-Montrealer living in the UK, and would like to show my colours...

Email sent. I'll let ya know.

I am also searching far and wide for a copy of "Habs to the Top" - any ideas how I could get a copy also?

My buddy Howard Glassman sang "Habs to the Top." Contact him at http://www.humblehoward.com and see if he can score an MP3.

Last I asked him, he didn't have one.

Mike;

I've finally managed to stumble across someone else who's heard of the 1989 Blue Jays Album! This makes me incredibly happy.

Would it be possible for me to beg you to send me any of the mp3s you have from that album? I'd really appreciate it, since I can't seem to find a copy of the album itself.

Thanks!
Rivers

Rivers, write me an email with info on where I can upload the album and you'll enjoy the miracle of Cito.
