Canadians eh? I'll play along:

April Wine - Say Hello (For the record, the only decent clip of this song I could find is a bunch of General Hospital makeout scenes. I do like the Christmas tree fight though.)

Hope all you DJ’s had a good Christmas and that you will have a good new year. I had a great Christmas. Even though my kids are now in their twenties and teens we still gather under the tree on Christmas morning to open presents and just be together (priceless).

Joni Mitchell’s song reminded me that there are some who are not nearly as lucky as I have been. I hope they find some peace one day.

Simon & Garfunkel - 7 O’clock News/Silent Night

John Prine - Souvenirs

Jim Croce - It Doesn't Have to Be That Way

I've been singing "My Name Is Jack" to my cat (whose name is Jack) for several months now ... but I can't find the version of this song
that Dewey so kindly put on a tape mix for me long, long ago (in a galaxy far away ... when there were still such things as tape mixes)
I don't think it was Manfred Mann, it sounded like it was from some off-off-Broadway show.
I love this one too ... I especially love the guy playing the guitar with the glasses and the mutton chops ... he looks SO blissfully happy ...

I like Mann.

Here are some clips from Jess Franco's Venus in Furs (1970) which featured Manfred Mann's music and the band:

Hey DJ Mook – I remember that mix tape very well!
That version of MY NAME IS JACK was done by John Simon
and it was from a low-budget seldom seen film called “You Are
What You Eat” which came out in 1968. Among the others on the
sounddtrack were The Electric Flag, Peter Yarrow, Barry McGuire
and Tiny Tim. Glad I could help!
[youtube][/youtube]
Mook, I couldn't resist slipping in this mindblowing version of
MY NAME IS JACK by the phenomenal Japanese girl group,
THE PIZZICATO FIVE. I think you'll like it!

Thanks Dewey! Thanks Mr. Arkadin!

" ... Manfred Mann (born Manfred Sepse Lubowitz, 21 October 1940, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa)
Lubowitz studied classical music at the University of the Witwatersrand, and worked as a jazz pianist at a number of clubs in Johannesburg.

In 1961, strongly opposed to the apartheid system in his native South Africa, Lubowitz re-located to the United Kingdom.
Around this time, he began to write for Jazz News under
the pseudonym Manfred Manne (after jazz drummer Shelly Manne),
which was soon shortened into Manfred Mann."

Shelly Manne - who knew?
