THE YEAR IS 1964 & MS. ARETHA FRANKLIN'S ON THE T.V. SHOW SHINDIG! THAT COULDN'T BE SEEN IN THE EAST END BECAUSE OF BAD T.V. RECEPTION . . .


If we wanted to see our New World African Music heroes after school on SHINDIG! we had to go over to Buddy and Harry Chow's (plus four more kids, Frank had left home already) on 49th Avenue near Oakridge in VanCity cuz we couldn't pick the signal up in the East End with rabbit ears (those double pronged antennas).
Aretha was still with Columbia records at this time and hadn't made the jump to Atlantic records yet.
