Growing up young and Italian in the ’70s, there were very few role models outside of the Esposito Brothers. And Gino Vannelli didn’t make things any easier. Still, “(I Just Want to) Stop,” with its line about “When I think about those nights in Montréal,” made me acquiesce, and realize that it could have been a lot worse.
KINGSTON

ONTARIO
The Inbreds were a two-piece band: bass and drums. They were brilliant, if very small. We first heard their music at CFRC in
Kingston, and a year later, we were touring
Canada with them. “Prince,” from their first album,
Hilario, is about a crippled dog that gets around by lying across a skateboard. The dog is from
Kingston.

ONTARIO
“Well it’s snowing in the city and the streets and brown and gritty” is one of the lines from “Alberta Bound” by Gordon Lightfoot, one of the best Toronto songs ever written about Alberta by a folk singer from Orillia.
