Happy Canada Day!  We kickoff our multi-day celebration of Canadian music with a group called April Wine!

April Wine formed in 1969 and initially caught my attention in in 1971 with a very catchy song called Could Have Been A Lady.  Let’s listen…….

You have to love that guitar!

I kind of lost track of them for the rest of the 70’s but they once again caught my attention in 1981 with a song called Just Between You And Me.  See what you think….

I completely lost track of April Wine after 1981 but based on a little recent research I am happy to report that they seem to still be a major concert draw in Canada.  If you haven’t heard of April Wine before I highly recommend that you check them out, especially their early stuff.  There are a number of greatest hits type collections that would be a good starting point.  More great Canadian music tomorrow.
