Andy Young February 28, 2008

Last Saturday, the Victoria Auto Racing Hall Of Fame inducted Andy Young as part of the "Class of 2008". Not only is "A Y" considered to be the best tire man in racing, he's also an accomplished drummer who played with "The Antics", one of the Centennial Battle Of The Bands finalists playing July 1, 1967 at Centennial Square. Speaking of Hall Of Fame, today's audio ditty comes from 2008 Victoria Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame nominee Don Crocker who's started to forward some of the many hours of recorded music he has stashed away. Don't laugh, alot of these are not Don's bands and were recorded around the city in the 60s & 70s. BTW, have you filled out your Hall Of Fame ballot yet?


Todays audio addition: The Motifs (Shine On Sun 1966)
