Peewee Charles

[vlmagee]

Peewee was mentioned in a couple of other threads (and has even peeked in here, as evidenced by his signup). He has a new Myspace web site at:

www.myspace.com/peeweecharles (http://www.myspace.com/peeweecharles)

He just posted the music videos made for the Shadows album - something that a few people here have seen before but many have not. Click on the "videos" link under his picture.

[Moosedog]

Thanks for the info, Val! :)

Very nice Website at My Space, really enjoyed those 4 Lightfoot videos. I had seen 2 of them on Much Music in the 80's, "Shadows" & "In My Fashion." Thanks Valerie for that info...

[Borderstone]

The actual video for "Shadows" ??? :) :) :) :) Cool!!

As soon as I can get to the library,I'm seeing that!

I've seen all of Gord's "non-live" videos but that one. Right on!

[vlmagee]

Yes, all four of them and I presume that Peewee had a real "original" tape, not a 10th generation copy like most of us have seen. These look very nice indeed.

[Borderstone]

Pee Wee please!!....put these on a DVD for the fans!! :eek: Pretty please? :) :)
We'll even pay more than $10 for them!

Talk to Gordon and it can include Inspiration Lady and (from a Canadian show I don't know the name of) an unofficial video of "Gotta Get Away". Gordon and some guy in an Indiana Jones like hat are conoeing in Canada (and seemingly followed by a lovely lady in the woods).

I'd definetly say that'd be worth the price. ;)

Finally saw "Shadows" and I can honestly say it's the best of the four. In My Fashion 2nd place,Baby Step Back and then Blackberry Wine.

[Jesse Joe]

Hey Borderstone that Canadian Show was on Canada Day 1984, with his good friend Murray McLauchlan !

MURRAY MCLAUCHLAN SPECIAL "FLOATING OVER CANADA" - CBC - 1984
Lightfoot did a sort of video to Gotta Get Away for this show. He is seen canoeing and playing his guitar and lip syncing by the side of a lake. It was well done.

Blackberry Wine, Shadows, Baby Step Back and In My Fashion.

[jj]

oh my, I'd put the tasty Inspiration Lady waaay out in front of In My Fashion, Shadows, Blackberry, Baby Step Back...and Big Brown

[Borderstone]

Thanks for the info Jess! :) It is amazing how well Gord lip-synched to that song by the lake. In fact,in a way,he's more animated in that clip.

I love Shadows' videos but I wish they'd done a better concept for them,that he could really come alive in.

Inspiration Lady,of course,is better than all of these but I was just commenting on the 4.

[jj]

Thanks for the info Jess! :) ... I was just commenting on the 4.

sorry, my misread, B...I'm glad Gord hasn't been a big video guy throughout the years, I really just enjoy the music stand alone, and think that everyone has their own personal video (some similar, some totally different) playing in their own mind...but I must add that the vistory projects are a wonderful labour of love and I especially like the one Tom did using his own family pics (real gems) of kids skating..that one is really tops in my opinion!

[vlmagee]

Nice article about Peewee ...

[Jesse Joe]

Nice article thanks Valerie ! :)

[patybear]

I just saw the "In my fashion" video. Is that a bandage or a cast on Gordy's leg? If its a
cast-When did Gordy ever break his leg? I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about it before.

[SherylKat]

Thanks for the heads up on the Pee Wee Charles website. I'll have to join MySpace so I can keep these great videos he's posted ("Blackberry Wine" is a particular favorite)! :clap:

[RM]

I found the "Shadows" video to be most interesting. A woman appears, and then every time he sings "It's a wicked wind", she is replaced (fading in and out) by a musical instrument. I'm pondering too much.

[JohninCt.]

Who is that girl anyway??

I really love the vistories that Tom and Lynn have done. I love watching them and wait anxiously to see which one is next. They have great vision. I agree that the one with his grandkids and Eva is fabulous.

[GJA]

I hadn't seen any of these. I love them. And guess what. He (GL) is coming to St. Louis. I may see him yet!!!!!!!!!!

[imported_Next_Saturday]

I was glad that Peewee had the videos on his site, but I was really dissapointed in the quality--just bad direction/concepts. Gord looks like he has a gun to his head in all of them. Baby Step Back was probably the best one--Terry cracked me up.

[Jesse Joe]

Those 4 videos are now on You Tube. :)

[Borderstone]

:cool: :cool: Terrrrrrrriiiiific!! ;)

[SherylKat]

Hi - I e-mailed PeeWee about the blonde, if that's the woman you are referring to. He said she was an actress hired for the video.

I second the motion! I'd pay the bucks to have that in my collection. Lots of times II download clips from You Tube or other websites, only to find that when I go back, they are unplayable.

Thanks very much.

[spocksbrain]

Okay, I have to say something. The video for "Baby Step Back" is a great piece of work. But, as far as videos go, the ones for "In My Fashion" and "Shadows" are fairly mediocre. The video for "Blackberry Wine" would get my vote for the whackest (if that's a word) video of ALL TIME! This one would have gotten Gord banned from MTV , had it been on MTV. It was a weird, Bacchanal sort of thing, with Rick dressed as a Puritan to keep everyone in check- but, what's the deal with the little guy? And the flashing light? Oh yeah, those split screen things were cheezy, even for the eighties. I listened to "Gordon Lightfoot Talks Shadows" years ago, and I remember him saying that they planned to make more videos. I'm glad the next one was "Inspiration Lady", because anything else like "Blackberry Wine" would have been another heap of embarrassment.

Of course, I could be looking at it from the wrong angle. Maybe we're meant to go and toke up before we watch it.

In any case, it was very kind of Mr. Ringwald to post these.

Whack! Whack I tell you!

[joveski]

i was wondering whether any videos (music videos, not live ones) were made for the Salute and EOM songs?. they came out during the video craze

[Jesse Joe]

None that I remember seeing from "Salute" or "East Of Midnight." But you never know ? :rolleyes:

[geodeticman.5]

Valerie - thanks for the info - yes I've seen PeeWee's contributions show up all 4 back-to-back in You Tube by searching Gordon Lightfoot + PeeWee I think I did, and I've gotta say - "Baby Step Back" - the Western card playing one- the only story-line one of the 4 as I recall - blew me away, very cool. He DOES lip-sync well as others pointed out. I recall too the Boathouse video, and the Gotta Get Away stepping into the canoe vid as well - not to be find by my searches on You Tube. Anyone know ?

The famous 6 hour VHS tape compilation we all got in years past had them. I believe Shirley Hoggard helped me find mine - has anyone heard from her ? One of my original GL web friends all the way back from the Chat Room prior to corfid in the mid 90's. I understand she does not post anymore. I hope she's OK. And hello to you, too Valerie, good to be back.

[geodeticman.5]

Spocksbrain - LOL my sentiments too on Blackberry Wine - I was numbstruck - I found most... interesting was the giant cowboy hat. It was like a Village people video done by a collaboration of Andy Warhol, Picasso, and the CFO who did not want to spend more than $250 on the sight gags ! Gord had to be dying inside on that one.... You have my vote on the good Western Baby Step Back as well - very cool and professional.

Hi Steve. Nice to see you again! Shirley is fine. I chat with her every few months; sometimes more often. She certainly isn't the only one who doesn't post anymore ... in her case, it was a combination of things that kept her away from her PC. And she never came over to Corfid (as far as I remember). The "death" of the newsgroup discouraged a number of people who liked that format and don't like the web-based discussion list of Corfid. In fact, I always preferred the newsgroup myself because it was easier (for me) to scan through a lot of text-based messages and find what interested me, compared to what it takes to do the equivalent here. I'm not knocking the Corfid format; it's what is common today. But I can sympathize with people who just don't like it. In Shirley's case, she didn't ever get around to it, or if she came here it was once or twice and never became addictive (smile, please).

[charlene]

Shirley is doing good, I speak with her regularly too but she isn't on the computer a lot nowadays..

[geodeticman.5]

Thanks Valerie & Char for the update on Shirley; She and I used to e-mail a lot in the mid to late 90's, I think as much as she would always listen and comment on Mamie and Merry... she might like like to hear from me. Would anyone feel comfortable asking her if she would, and reminding me of her e-mail if she OK's ?

Is she able to log in or was there a complication there too..? I'd love to say hello to my old friend, but I wish to cause her no discomfort. She helped get me through a lot of the eaarly thick of it after the mountaineering accident, and then the car accident head/neck/eyes biz. What a fine lady. I only regret the prospect of telling her about Merry, of whom she'd grown fond as well as Mamie. Thanks. Thoughts ?

[SherylKat]

Hi, everyone! - Pee Wee e-mailed me about a week ago but I've been sick so didn't read it until right now. He's been so busy that he hasn't had time to check in on corfid. He requested that I send everyone thabks for the good wishes. He said George Canyon, Nashville Star runner up a few years ago & great artist.wants Pee Wee to play with him so bad..Sounds like his steel guitar's coming out again - so happy for him; it couldn't happen to a kinder person.

As for the DVD...he said he can't even think about that now, plus they are Gord's property.

He ended by saying: "ps I have not have a chance to reply or even check corfid?? Let them know I appreciate all the nice thoughts & will be in touch some day....."

SherylKat

[charlene]

I'm sure Shirley would appreciate hearing from you..she has said that she feels so out of the loop nowadays..
I'll p.m. her -email to you.

[charlene]

George Canyon is a fine entertainer..lots of talent and tres cute..another great one from down east.- Pictou County, Nova Scotia I believe..
Pee Wee would be sittin' in with some wonderful music...

[Borderstone]

You know,I wonder....Gord (WB) released "Anything For Love" as a single in 1986...could there be a "shelved" video for that as well?? :)

I also know that there's another rare Canadian clip where Gord's doing an acoustic version of the EOM song "I'll Tag Along". Only saw it once but now I don;t recall where I saw it so long ago. He has no moustache,beard or long hair in the clip,looks like early 90s.

[jj]

The famous 6 hour VHS tape compilation...
~ geo steve

wow, do you have a listing of what was on this 6 hour compilation? how is the quality

also, someone mentioned a video of Boathouse... is that included, I never saw it :(

more NB, I sure hope you & daughter are doing well, and that Shirley is also fine :)

[geodeticman.5]

Sorry jj, no video to be found of mine :( , and no list of what was on it. It blew me away when I got it....I watched all six hours on one Saturday, and my wife, who was also a GL fan, but not....6...hours-worth.... LOL all at once bailed after about an hour.

Someone Shirley knew mailed it to me, I don't know of its current availability. And, I think the Boathouse and Gotta Get Away videos were NOT on it if memory serves. It did have hilarious "Leadfoot" BBC "Country & Western" T.V. shows Gord hosted, sang, and danced, apparently on all the ladies feet, hense the moniker Leadfoot.

As GL said in one concert referring to his lack of dancing expertise he said something like "When I should'a dosee-do'ed, I do'see didn't..." LOL. BUT....that was the show he originally debuted the choreographed and orchestrated early rendition of CRT, with men in the background swingin sledges and the like. He was fond of this enough to be inspired to re-record it for GG1 with orchestration, as he was nostalgic for the sound of it on the show.

Other than that, it would seem for a large portion of his career, he quite vocally eschewed television, once saying on a Merv Griffin interview when asked about his distaste for television, he replied to the multi-millionairre TV MOGUL "Merv" flatly that he "hated television", which sorta let the air out of that interview by my take...


These are my anecdotal understandings of the above events is all, oh and one more that stands out fun to have on it, from the '76 Soundstage period (which is on it, too) is the SNL comedy sketch starting with Gord performing a ballad, Spanish Moss I believe, and John Belushi came out in his Bee outfit and cut the strings on Gord's guitar to his mock indignation, not unlike the scene in Animal House, the movie, where Belushi is coming downstairs in Delta house, drunk and upset, and a black turtle-neck sweatered crooner folk guy was singing a *real bad* version of "I gave my love a Cherry..." and Belushi smashes the guys guitar on the railing.... hilarious.

I am sure you could find someone out there who could burn a copy for you, I don't know what the proprietary particulars are on it, it was so long ago, it had an amazing amount of YEARS of video cips and appearances. I want it now again da**it ! Sorry I could not be of more help than this. Thank you for the kind thought for my daughter and I getting along with Merry gone JJ.

Hi, Corfidians! I just got an e-mail from Pee Wee - Val's already told you about his web page on MySpace - if you haven't checked it out, it's got pics of him with his new "baby" - lap steel guitar, at home, on vacation, with some bands he's doing gigs with, etc. He said he was sorry he hadn't gotten back to me (Good Lord - I told him NEVER apologize about that!), but there was lots going on with the family and gigs. He wanted me to spread the word, that he was just taking off to CMT Studios to tape a show - "Get the word out, Pee Wee is back!" He is such a wonderful positive person. He said, he knows he's taking a gamble but he knows other doors will open. Gotta be positive; life is too short for negativity.

Anyway, a request: can somebody in Canada please watch out for this show. It will more than likely play down here in "Baja Canada" LOL SOMEDAY but if anybody in Canada happens to run across it, I'd sure appreciate it if they would "tape it" for me - I'd be happy to pay for any costs and time incurred! I'll try to find out when it will air...

Great to see him getting the recognition he deserves!

[charlene]

CMT has lots of programmes - which one will he be on?

[SherylKat]

Hi, Char! He e-mailed me this morning but didn't give particulars as to when it would air. I didn't realize that perhaps your CMT and my CMT are one and the same - I don't watch that channel very much. I thought maybe he was referring to a Canadian tv show that's known by those initials. He said the taping went really well and he'd get back to me soon, so when he does, I'll try to get more particulars, okay?

SherylKat

[charlene]

CMT here is different than CMT down there.. if he taped in the Canadian west then it probably won't be seen where you are.. I've got Lisa watching for it. She loves George Canyon..

[Jesse Joe]

Please let us know when it is supposed to aired Sherylkat, I would be pleased to see this. If I understand correctly PeeWee is now in George Canyons Band ???

And Char stop using Lisa as your (TV Guide) her eyes will cross... lol ! just kidding :biggrin:

Same as last year you had her do the shoveling while Mom took the pics... lol :biggrin: All in good fun CHar. :)

[SherylKat]

Mornin', Char - he was taping it in Toronto, I believe. I've told you we do get a lot of Canadian programmes here, but it might take awhile. I'll definitely try to find out, maybe early next week! It's a very busy, albeit very happy, time for him, what with his "new" granddaughter, other family business, and all the touring! I would assume that this taping would probably take at least a month to be ready for television. I might try going on to the CMT website to see what I can find...

JESSE J! Hey, aren't you proud of me? I've now done TWO replies now without screwing them up! :biggrin:

It's my impression that Pee Wee's not an official member of the Band yet, but I will tell him that his audience awaits answers. I've heard from Char and Lisa that George Canyon is a good singer and very cute, so I'll definitely have to check him out more! LOL If you go onto his MySpace website, he has pics of gigs in Alberta and other gigs with other bands, as well as some pics of him at home. I'll have to check that site out, too - he might have posted some comments about the CMT show. I'll do a little surfing tonight to see what I can see - SherylKat

[Jesse Joe]

Yes SherylKat Im very proud of you, your coming along just great... :biggrin: George Canyon is from this neck of the wood. A Maritimer, as far as cute, I think that Feist who was born in Ahmerst NS, now that's cute... :)

[Jesse Joe]

lol Have you got a whip you !!! :biggrin:

No need to shovel down here today it feels like July, it's been like this all week. Fall in NB is something picturesque. The leaves have not change color yet. I think SherylKat has seen New-Brunswick in the fall ? :)

[geodeticman.5]

Jesse Joe, I'd go though Heaven and Hell both to see New Brunswick in the autumn. So they (leaves) have not changed yet, huh ? Boy I'd sure love to see 'em.

And last time I "talked" to Peewee in myspace, he was vacillating on the George Canyon thing, is he solid on it now ? More power to him ! He does deserve it. He was reticent at the time I exchanged space-mails with him on joining-up with George Canyon only because of the security of the 15 -odd yr. corporate job....security.... but if touring and playing is in his blood still...there is no use fighting it :)


SherylKat - I know I have talked to you here and there in posts, but since you are relatively new - July is it ? - A belated welcome ! - and you've played the lyrics game, too, havn't you, the lyrics quiz thread ? - maybe thats where I remember posting to you from ... - I'm sure I've posted back and forth a few times with you; just can't place it.. - and as Jesse Joe says - yes, you're doing just great ! I go back farther than my name shows - I had an absence in corfid, returned after about a year, but I really started about in 2006 or so.

Good bunch of folk , huh ? Are you close enough to the ocean, without specifics, ( I like geographic anonymity, too - hence my geo locale shown :cool: ) - anyway, r u close enough that you enjoy some coastal- temperate weather despite Northern Latitudes in Cal ? Or are you more "inland" - just generalities, they are always of interest to me in my line of work that has to do with that. I won't bore you with THAT, though !:clap::eek: :rolleyes:

Thats my 3-bits

SheryKat - Holy Cr** I'm losin my braincells.....now I know why I know your name so well, jeeez I can't believe I forgot the Arbourite PM's exchanged on the formica-like countertop=company we mildly debated over origins of- in fun, versus the go for the jugular level of debate in in a site I have been visiting; that "forensic debate site" called "BrainSpill" too many times. I think the 'forensic' part of forensic debate which means supposedly 'scholarly arguing' "pffffffft" -:clap::p:biggrin: simply means someone gets so bored sh**less they die of boredom, and must be forensically examined because the County Coroner is a Brainspill member too, and he/she must over-analyze the situation...looking for criminal arguing and terminal brain-dead state - you know - like elected officials :biggrin: :clap:

The reason I am posting again is my brain-dead cranial pan completely omitted from fast-food level of quick-retrieval memory ( I think neurosurgeons call it "L2" cache memory in your head; and Microsoft sells software upgrades now for that part of your brain - as long as you have the *Brand* new version of windows lol )

You know - project "Yohave" - Yohave d bux , yu gette da brain u once had - in my case lol - spoofing "Project Mojave" - assuming you've seen ads for that: damage-control on premature perhaps release of Vista Windows hence drawing excess criticism, where Microsoft responds by letting customers play with a (lying, but 'we' know tee-hee) -"new experimental correction-upgrade' to Vista called "Mojave" - ppl like it, rave about it, not knowing they are on camera, and we (tee hee) know its *really* plain ole' Vista they are using and raving about how much better it is than vista, or so much better than the reason they've refused to buy it so far - then 'candid camera' setting catches their reaction when they are told by M.S. employees it IS Vista with a thinly disguised "neener-neener, told-ya, told-ya, it IS good, REALLY catches them when they tell them they have been using Vista the whole time; ostensibly a 'mythbuster' approach ad..lol..)

Sooo I thought I should explain my brain-dead forgetfulness about the whole arborite 'discussion/colloqium company history and place in Canadian Economics Treatise we did LOL....you, me, and Char had stemming (there's that GL word again !!) from just the song "Never say trust me" and its repeat usage of arborite in it - arborite tables, arborite dreans.... had me looking up my old lumber industry ties to ordering from the co. way back when, and Char and your memories were correct about 2 days before I arrived at same conclusion ! duhhhhhh errrrrrrrrr ahm a little tard now..... aaahl be ok LOL

Ahemm,, So, Why yes, Sheryl KAT, We DO know one another from posts quite more than you realized, I'm glad I was able to clear that up for you, yes of course harrumpph... lol:rolleyes::rolleyes::biggrin:

Jesse Joe, I'd go though Heaven and Hell both to see New Brunswick in the autumn. So they (leaves) have not changed yet, huh ? Boy I'd sure love to see 'em.

Ah yes indeed Geo Steve, (Fall) Autumn, is the time to be in New-Brunswick ! We had a little frost, so now in a couple of weeks the green dark forest will have beautiful colors, with train tracks running in to the forest. I am a mountain biker myself, and there are some lovely trails... :)

HALLO, CHAR! HAPPY FRIDAY!

Just got a quick message from Pee Wee, which stated: "Hi Sheryl, We cut the George Canyon CMT Revival Special in Toronto...I played with George & it was magical...haven't felt that much emotional feeling in my playing in a long time...I am part of his band on the dates I am available to make....Not sure when it will be on CMTTV, will let know asap." I'll keep you guys apprised - I think he's just over the moon now and so busy playing as much as possible with George Canyon's band and other bands! Jesse J., my THIRD without a screw-up HOPEFULLY! CHAR, GEORGE is adorable! How old is he - does that make us COUGARS?!? SherylKat. And yes, I'm at work but old habits die hard! I will get back to work so don't scold! LOL
