CLUBHOUSE RETURNS -- Scott, Winnipeg, 03:21:57 02/08/00 Tue
Monday's Clubhouse is officially my favorite episode! Here's the story why:
Last week I went down to KY58, hoping to meet Burton on his way in to the station. I had made a CD for The Clubhouse featuring the A WILD PAIR album (never played in The Clubhouse!) I transfered from my record (KY58 only plays CD's) and other fitting rare oldies for the show. Unfortunately, Burton was still out of town, so I gave the disc to the receptionist and she assured me he'd get it. Today, thanks to Sam's post, I knew The Clubhouse would rock again, so I tuned in wondering whether Burton got the disc. Two songs into the show I heard the beginning of "I Need Your Company" from A WILD PAIR and knew he had it!
When he announced the song, he mentioned that they had received an "excellent" CD called CLUBHOUSE SPECIAL but had no clue who it was from!! Oh no, he didn't look inside the book for the note I typed! I called the front desk of the station and asked the receptionist to tell Burton and Gary to look inside the CD booklet I made. A few songs later, Burton thanked me on the air and played "Love Dream" from the disc (another non-CD track, so far). Wow!! What a thrill. To be part of my favorite radio show, even in a small way, and be addressed on a live broadcast by one of my heroes absolutely made my day! Totally cool!!
Burton also played a great new song by himself called "That's All There Is" (I think) which is VERY good. Mid-tempo and very melodic. Here's what he had to say about it:
"It's a good song and it will probably be on my new album. I am going to California sometime within the next ten days to two weeks to meet with two very, very, hot, special producers, one of whom is Glen Ballard, who just finished with No Doubt. And he also did Alanis Morrissette's JAGGED LITTLE PILL album, which did 27 million copies worldwide. He also worked on all The Pointer Sisters' hits with Richard Perry, so I'm very much looking forward to that, and he likes this song so this could be on my new album."
Sorry to say, there was NO mention of a Guess Who reunion, except when during "Howard's Hit List" when Howard was mentioning some acts coming to Winnipeg, he said "June 1..." to which Burton replied "The Guess Who?". Howard said, "Is that the date?" but then contiued his sentence announcing The Dixie Chicks will be in town. You know what I say to that? Who cares! I guess if a reunion IS taking place, the announcement is still forthcoming. Don't uncross those fingers yet!
Burton also mentioned his CD shopping spree in Toronto last week and played many songs new to The Clubhouse by artists such as Donovan, Billy J. Kramer, The Piltdown Men, The Essex, Jimmy Clanton, Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, The Kenny Ball Orchestra and Ernie Fields. And yes, there were "appearances" by the ususal Clubhouse characters such as Alistair and The Major.
I tell you, if The Guess Who do tour (and believe me, I want them to as much as everyone else) I'm sure going to miss The Clubhouse practically every day!
More to come this week..

Totally cool is right Scott, you are really famous now. Great Clubhouse update, thanks a million. A new album, reunion tours, singing with the Carpet Frogs. WOW I am so excited. Scott you'll just have to follow Burton around to all his and the Guess Who's concert dates and keep us up to date with Concert reports. Whatta you say?

Actually, there's enough of us spread out over the continent that there's no reason each concert of a Guess Who reunion tour could not or would not be attended by at least one of us. We could all submit concert reports as soon as we got home, while our ears are still ringing. I know I'd be the first one in with a report from Calgary, and possibly Edmonton, Regina, Vancouver or wherever they tour within a day's driving distance. Mind you, if the tour gets to Japan, Europe or Australia, we may run into a few problems. Maybe Timo could be our European correspondent ;-)
Wow, I can hardly wait...

Yep- it is getting exciting. Good bet TO in August for the CNE. Little bird whispered in my ear that a certain tour manager is pricing "sound light and trucking" for a 6 month tour of Canada and the US.

I've been meaning to say, Scott, making the CD & getting it to Burton was a stroke of genius on your part. Also, it must have been very gratifying to Burton to receive.
