Yesterday at 1pm, I was supposed to sit down with Rita Zekas and Rob Salem. This episode has been in my calendar for a very long time, moved a couple of times due to Mother Nature. Rob called me yesterday and asked me to move it one more time. So I did.
But what we lost with this postponement was another chance for me to play this classic from The Gandharvas. The First Day of Spring!
The Gandharvas, from London, Ontario, were active for about the same time Furnaceface was ripping it up in Ottawa. Hear my Furnaceface #deepdive with Slo' Tom here.
This single was named "Song of the Year" for CFNY's 1994 CASBY Awards. I loved it instantly. If you only know "First Day of Spring" and "Downtime", check out "Drool".
Rita and Rob will visit April 16.
