THE SPARROWS Group of Musicians Known As the Sparrows Vo lume 3, No. 21 Week of July 19111, 1965 It was many months ago when we were first intro­ * duced to a very talented THE SPARROWS group of musicians known as The Sparrows. They * have the distinction of being the first Canadian group to offer up a sound comparable to the fast­ moving English sound. It was for this reason that Beatle-eared Paul White of Capitol records hawked down on these Sparrows and confined their nesting grounds to the Capitol camp. The boys have contri­ buted a great deal to the task of making the average Canadian aware of the fact that we in Canada have a music industry to be proud of. The Sparrows are Canadian. Art Ayre is the lead. He is pianist, organist, melodicat, vocalist and composer. Art is a vigorously trained musician who stems from a jazz background. Besides looking after the busi­ ness end of the group and keeping track of the instruments, he also manages to crack up the boys with his quick wit. He has owned and raced several modified sports cars and at the drop of a cab fare will show you his collection of trophies, his pride and joy. Jerry Edmonton looks after the drums, blows a mean harmonica, is an important part of the harmony (vocal) of the group a nd also pens some mighty pretty tunes. Jerry hangs his hat in Oshawa (home) but has been so s uccessful as a musician he now shares a dorm with the rest of The Sparrows. When he's not way out listening to a blues recording, he's way out in space by way of his telescope. He is some­ what of an expert on space. He can give you the name of every constellation in the sky and has followed every blast-off so closely he knows the space ships by their first name. Dennis Edmonton, brother of Jerry, picks one of the prettiest sounding lead at being a s uccessfu l Sparrow (h e a lso guitars in the business.

    Volume 3, No. 8 Week of April 19th, 1965 There must be a special mold from which come all Western Canadian artists and their managers. Not one have we met that * has been overbearing nor positive that their being on earth was for the reason of attain­ ing stardom. Barry Allen is no exception. * Both he and his manager Al Johnson are perfect examples of how to succeed and * still maintain respect for others. A welcome change from some of the overbearing pushy managers and their equally misplaced charges. Barry Allen is talented as his Capitol ,,,..,.__,._ outing "Easy Come Easy Go" Will prove. It all started back in Edmonton on July 29 , 1945. That's when the Allen family welcomed a new son name of Barry. But it really didn't happen until this blonde haired western Canadian youngster reached a height of 5'10" and weighed in at 160 lbs and just happened to be going to high school. His singing and guitar picking made him the boy most desirable for a date but he was too busy playing at the dances. His next step turned out to be a big one. He began to sing with the Wes Dakus group, no slouch­ es when it came to winning a popularity contest. As a matter of fact they topped the polls as "Canada's Top Instrumental Group" (RPM Awards). As a member of the Dakus group he was off to Clovis New Mexico just to play the guitar in a recording session under the direction of Norman Petty.

  • 'Presents from Eddie'
    ‘Presents From Eddie’ - The Ed Rambeau Songbook It was early 1964 when as an impressionable 16 year old in Liverpool I hurried back from the local record shop clutching my copy of ‘Dawn’ (US Philips 200-146) by the Four Seasons. An album filled with the new sound of the group that had just left Vee-Jay and come up with something different. Great melodies and arrangements that stood up to the Merseybeat sound. Familiar songs with new arrangements and new songs by Crewe and Gaudio……and on the start of side 2 a great song by a little known duo…’Only Yesterday’ - an uptempo song about a lost love. “Seems like only yesterday she held me….Seems like only yesterday she cared” sings Frankie Valli. I loved it and it helped lift the album to its special level. The song was great and the arrangement superb. It helped propel the “Dawn” album to #6 – the highest US chart placing for any 4 Seasons’ album. In the CD era, the Rhino label featured “Only Yesterday” on two compilations of 4 Seasons’ rarities, “Rarities – Volume 1” and “Off Seasons: Criminally Ignored Sides From Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons”. In the UK back in 1964, we didn’t know the song’s composers, Ed Rambeau and Bud Rehak but what a difference 40 years makes. Now we know all their songs, some written for Eddie to perform and others for a wide range of artists. So here we celebrate the songs that this duo wrote in …..”Presents from Eddie” a ‘Special Edition’ of ‘Seasons’ Connections.
