The Rowdyman
(Canada, 1972; Director: Peter Carter; 95 minutes)
Written by and starring Gordon Pinsent in a larger-than-life performance, this 1972 classic gave cause for hope to an indigenous cinema based on people and landscapes recognizable to Canadians as their own. The Rowdyman was one of the most important English-Canadian films of the seventies, made when the feature film business was just getting underway in a meaningful fashion. This wonderfully energetic and appealing film reaches beyond its modesty to strike a chord that still resonates today. ”

2 Republic of Doyle on DVD www.cbcshop.ca
Republic of Doyle combines the retro cool crime vibe of classic investigative shows like Rockford Files with the contemporary dramatic/comedic edge of Rescue Me and Californication, producing a blend of intriguing episodic mysteries woven with the always evolving (and sometimes regressing) relationship turmoil and dynamics of the fiery Doyle clan. This one-hour comic drama takes a peek into the lives of a not-so-everyday family with problems trying to make it all work as they run a very uncommon family business — a gumshoe racket in St. John’s, Newfoundland — out of a very full house.

The Banks of Newfoundland
From Wikipedia

“The Banks Of Newfoundland” is the earliest Newfoundland composition set down in music notation. It was composed by Chief Justice Francis Forbes in 1820 and published in a piano arrangement by Oliver Ditson of Boston. Originally composed as a dance, it was treated as a march by the soldiers of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment during World War I; it later became the Regiment’s authorized march.

It has also been associated with the Royal St. John’s Regatta since its early days. As a Regatta song it is more popularly known as “Up The Pond”, and is traditionally played as the crews pass the bandstand on their return to the stakes. It was later made the official song of the Regatta.

A Great Big Moose In The Middle of The Road

Filed under: Newfoundland Scene — Tags: Big, Great, in, Middle, moose, of, Road, the — admin @ 3:04 am

2 A Great Big Moose In The Middle of The Road A.Frank Willis, the “One-Man Band from Newfoundland“, is a virtual legend on the Canadian east coast music scene. This “little feller from Dover” is arguably one of Canada’s most uniquely talented and engaging performers.

A.Frank, as he is affectionately known, launched his one-man show in 1975 and became an overnight sensation. Fans marvelled as they watched him simultaneously play bass pedals with his left foot, chord organ with his right foot, and the harmonica (clamped in a holder)… all while his hands alternated between the guitar and mandolin strapped in front of him. He frequently pulled the accordion, banjo, and kazoo into the performance just for good measure! During performances, he integrated a variety of musical styles including traditional, country, pop, rock-and-roll, and everything in between. This diversity, combined with such rare abilities, garnered jam-packed audiences of young and old alike. The title of his 1976 debut album, Any Kind Of Music, says it all.
