Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures bandfguiltfree

In this week's episode we get back to the basics of what are podcast is all about by exploring one of the few medleys to ever top the Billboard Hot 100. Will To Power's combined version of the Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd classics was certainly divisive amongst fans of the originals, but this sound is what we are all about. (At least it is for Bill - we're unsure where Frank stands on this!)

For the first time in our show's history, we are doing a song from the 60's. Who better to have this incredible distinction then arguably the most successful Canadian rock band of all time: "The Guess Who?"
More show notes will be forthcoming!

Don’t worry - the drop dead chord is paradoxically not lethal; it actually brings to mind all the joy that is found in the best parts of life. Our story begins with an American pop star who falls victim to the British Invasion, only to climb back to the top by conquering Britain himself. Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter In The Rain” is a triumphant comeback.

There's so much to praise about this song. Bonnie Raitt's later period success suprised everyone with "Nick of Time," but then came Luck of the Draw. And then "Something to Talk About" changed everything. We work through our own feelings about this song in high school, as well as how it continues to speak into our lives. We also take the time to praise songwriter Shirley Eikhard and we hope you get to know more about her through this podcast!

Bonnie Raitt helps induct Shirley Eikhard into Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame

This is an earlier episode drop than usual, in hopes of capitalizing on the total eclipse frenzy that is currently happening in our part of the world. There is not a better song to feature for this time of year than Bonnie Tyler's immortal (like a vampire!) and timeless hit. We've been waiting to do this one for years: the time is now!
