Paul Anka singing in the audience. beside is right arm is curly haired Anne Murray - a couple of rows ahead of her in a black hat is Stompin' Tom Connors.. On the other side is a curly haired Gino Vanelli, behind him is Lightfoot and behind him is Andy Kim.
Recognize anyone else James? I don't know the name of the curly haired guy with glasses besidea Anka's elbow....

[jj]

The judges have rightfully awarded you, this round:)

(I need a new prescription...)

[charlene]

the curly haired guy was in a band...c'mon...think!

[youngstranger]

If we are looking at the same person, he looks like me so I'm curious to know who he is!

[jj]

last night i was viewing on a small iphone screen but now i know who you mean...i would say that is Tim Bachman from BTO

could have been falsely accused but apparently got into some 'touching' trouble

there are some others i recognize that i can put a name to

who is with Gord, Brita? who is next to Bachman? and next to Connors?


btw, at my jr high prom that same year, i wore the same sized lapels on my casual suit that Bachman is wearing

the next year both Lighthouse and the Stampeders played my high school...fun

[jj]

btw, this is the album cover that came to mind immediately and help me zero in...i never owned it but a friend played it a lot and i was always leafing through the 'cardboard'

...Fred Turner (top right) can still lays down some good harmonies and can rock, last year's Grey Cup was proof

[charlene]

ah yes..now i remember..
Don't know if that was Brita-I think she was blonde..
I recall those big lapels on the jackets..quite the look!with wide flared pants..oh yeah!

[jj]

pretty good quality video here

YouTube - Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothing yet 1974

[youngstranger]

My mistake! I thought you mean't the guy in the far side of the aisle!

[charlene]

Nope - not the guy on the far side of the aisle...the curly haired guy with glasses beside Anka's elbow....
lol
This was first televised Juno award show I think.. They used to be dinner/drinks affair and everyone was busy talking and not paying attention to the speakers/awards being handed out so they went to this new format and televised it. The last few years it's been a whole week of JUNO related events, concerts, hockey game, songwriters circle etc.

Upon inspection I think the guy I thought I looked like is a lady with a perm! :-)

[charlene]

that would be Cathy Smith with Gordon...
