Did you ever get a chance to eat at any of the 'old' Sals? Seemed like they used to be on every corner in Wpg, many were open 24hr.I went into the Salisbury House (restaurant franchise) in Steinbach
Absolutely. I took the train or bus from Ontario to Winnipeg every month as a teenager.Did you ever get a chance to eat at any of the 'old' Sals? Seemed like they used to be on every corner in Wpg, many were open 24hr.
Sherbrook Sals was a fave, some of the Winnipegers here may remember. Old school lunch counter style with stools.
Leading to another one of those classic conundrums:man, donna douglas was a dish!
My department head owns the dobro that was played on that session with Flatt & Scruggs. I'll be playing it in a couple monthsWhen our kids were infants, one of the songs I'd sing to them at bedtime was the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies, followed by the Flintstones theme.
I'm just glad neither of them grew up to be double-naught-spies.....at least that I know of.
Absolute favourite line ever from the BH came from Jed: "That boy was such a liar, he had to get somebody else to call his dog".
T'was a page right out of the Les Paul production handbook. He'd record things playing them slowly, cutting them live to disc, and then speed up to play along with, getting a different pitch and envelope from the original sped-up recording. Frank Zappa did that too.oh, and since no one else mentioned my favorite thing about the whole show, i will:
so many players i knew tried to learn that piece, and back then, it never occurred to us that it had been sped up.
