Your Saturday Tune


Recommended Posts

This is the YouTube version. The actual tune is about 6 minutes long. Yes, , I know what the name of the band means wink.gif and the video is rather poor but the music is great...about 2 tones short of the BeeGees!!

If this tune doesn't get your toes tapping..."you ain't got no rhythm".user posted image

Blue Rodeo to be made Royal Conservatory fellows

Members of roots rock group Blue Rodeo will be awarded honorary fellowships by the Royal Conservatory of Music, Canada's largest music school.

The band's contribution to the arts will be recognized at the Royal Occasion gala, an annual celebration of musical excellence at the venerable music school, which will be held in Toronto on May 22.

Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy plays for fans during the Canadian Live 8 concert in Barrie, Ont, in July 2005. The band has been awarded honorary fellowships to the Royal Conservatory.

(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press) The conservatory bestows the award annually on Canadian artists who have made a lasting contribution to the arts.

"We're proud to recognize the achievements of Blue Rodeo, a celebrated group of musicians who embody the artistic potential that the Royal Conservatory of Music is committed to developing," Peter Simon, president of the conservatory, said in a press release on Monday.

Blue Rodeo was founded in Toronto in 1985 by its two lead singers, guitarists, and songwriters, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, who have played together since high school.

Among their 10 studio albums are 1987's Outskirts, 1990's Casino, 1995's Nowhere to Here and 2001's Greatest Hits.

In its current incarnation, the band has six members, including Bazil Donovan, drummer Glenn Milchem, keyboardist Bob Packwood and multi-instrumentalist Bob Egan. Cuddy, Keelor and Egan also have established solo careers.

The conservatory has selected a Canadian musician or musical group to honour annually since 1996. Among those chosen in the past are soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra director Bramwell Tovey, stage actor Louise Pitre, pop group Barenaked Ladies, singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn and jazz pianist Oscar Peterson.

Last year, members of the Tragically Hip were awarded fellowships.

Blue Rodeo will also perform at the gala, a fundraiser for the conservatory, which is in the midst of a $110-million renovation of its Victorian-era building.

Founded in 1886, the Royal Conservatory of Music is the largest and oldest independent arts educator in Canada, serving more than 500,000 active participants each year.

They put on a great live show. It's hard to tell the difference from their recordings because they don't use alot of machinery to enhance their recordings, so the CD's almost sound "live".
