I think you mean Sara 'Harmer'. 'Hammer' might be a name she'd only reserve for close friends and enemies. :o)

If my memory serves me that is Sara Hammer singing harmony.

There was a PhysEd teacher at my high school named Mr. Payne.  

i can't believe i'm going to say this.
a real first.
i like this song. 

"I've never lived with balance although i've always liked the notion"   How is it these guys can look straight into your head?

He had no choice.

There was a doctor in my gyn office named Dr. Richard Beaver. Honest to god. Wouldn't you have chosen another specialty?

My dentist was Dr. Fillmore. 

Okay, I've got my weird name reference, too. Once worked in Charlotte NC with a guy named Dick Payne.

My podiatrist was Dr. Treadwell.

From the intro I thought this was going to be an unplugged version of Filter's song 'Take a Picture'

Brilliant ... slid right into this from the Cocteau Twins' tune. Couldn't even hear the transition. Bill's a genius.

Every time I hear this guy I'm impressed. I think I should get some of his stuff. Any recommendations?

Worked with a guy in the Yukon named Dick Seamen (Richard actually, but he preferred to be called Dick).

julie wolf's backing vocals and keyboards are the added bonus.

I knew a guy named Hyman Pecker, and that was his exact listing in the Montréal phone book. And still in my hometown, there is a university prof whose specialty is raptors. His name? Dr. David Bird, of course.

My GP's name is Butcher. And there's a vet in town named Dr. Bones.

If you're looking for a solid introduction to the guitar prowess of this amazing musician, the collection on SPEECHLESS does a thorough job of sampling Cockburn's entire career. SPEECHLESS may not have lyrics, but it speaks volumes.

I believe Bill has played one or two on RP.

I went to school with a guy named Dicky Burns. :)

No, it's not the CBC, which is Canada's public broadcaster, it's a rule that's enforced by the CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommuinications Commission). And the rule is this:

The MAPL logo

Every radio station in Canada must meet Canadian content quotas, therefore, the MAPL logo, created by Stan Klees, on album packaging and on the compact disc itself increases the chance that the music will receive airplay in Canada. The MAPL logo is a circle divided into four parts, one part for each of the four "MAPL" categories. The categories in which the music qualifies are black with a white initial M, A, P or L. The categories for which the music does not qualify are in white, with a black letter. The meaning of the letters is as follows:

Music composed entirely by a Canadian.
Artist - the music is, or the lyrics are, performed principally by a Canadian.
Production - the musical selection consists of a live performance that is recorded wholly in Canada, or performed wholly in Canada and broadcast live in Canada.
Lyrics) - the lyrics are written entirely by a Canadian. <1>

Doesn't the CBC mandate a certain percentage of airplay to Canadian artists?

As a Canuck I tried, I really tried to like Bruce, but for some reason his songwriting just grates on my nerves. The only exception to that nails-on-the-chalkboard feel is "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" and I liked the Barenaked Ladies cover better. :(

Maybe it was that "Rocket Launcher" song. I dunno.

Could be worse.

I went to school with a guy whose last name was "Seman". And yes, we were cruel :)

And my Dad used to work with a guy whose last name was originally "Hoare". He changed it to "Thompson".
