This week we unlock the fascinating tales of three one-hit wonders. Join me on a journey to meet The Royal Guardsmen’s lead singer, Barry Winslow, Balde Silva who is better known as Toby Beau and rediscover that incredible singer songwriter and producer, Terry Jack as we delve into his musical career and back catalogue.  You'll gain insight into the highs, the lows, and everything in between, shedding light on the indelible marks each of these musicians have left on the music industry.  This episode is a homage to those artists who, despite having just one major hit, crafted unforgettable melodies that continue to resonate with generations of fans. We kick things off by responding to a request from a listener who asked to hear how Canadian musician and environmentalist, Terry Jacks is doing today. He's been quiet these last few years but has recently had a 'best of' remastered. Terry Jacks is best known for his massive hit 'Seasons in the Sun' and has been suffering ill health recently so we catch up with his record label producer who fills us in on Terry's life and times. His story is nothing short of fascinating.  Next we venture to the American south to meet Balde Silver, better known these days by his stage name, Toby Beau. You may not remember the band but you're sure to recall their one huge hit, 'My Angel Baby'. Toby tells us all about his experiences with the legendary band Kiss, his meteoric rise to fame and how that one song set him up for a life of music and entertainment ever since.  Next, an exploration into the life of Barry Winslow, who, at the helm of The Royal Guardsmen, took the world by storm with their chart-topping song about that little dog named Snoopy. At the time the Royal Guardsmen set out, Charles Schulz's comic strip – Peanuts - was at its peak of popularity and Charlie Brown's beagle somehow evolved into less of a pet than a voice of conscience. One of the recurring themes was Snoopy’s fantasy exploits as a World War I flying ace trying to defeat BaronVon Richthofen, aka The Red Baron.  Barry tells us all about how the Snoopy song came to be, the role producer Phil Gernhard played and how it changed the band members' lives forever. I hope you'll tune in, sit back, and let the memorable stories behind your favourite one-hit wonders transport you back in time. Whether you're a music enthusiast or just love a good story, this episode is for you.   For more information about Terry Jacks and his latest release 'The Terry Jacks Collection' head for the website Regenerator Records  To learn more about Toby Beau check out https://www.tobybeau.com/ And to find out additional stuff about The Royal Guardsmen and Barry Winslow check https://www.facebook.com/TheRoyalGuardsmenBand/  One-Hit Wonders, Barry Winslow, Toby Beau, Terry Jacks, Royal Guardsmen, Chart-Topping Hit, My Angel Baby, Seasons in the Sun, Abraham, Martin, and John, Jerry Fuller, Phil Guernhard, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron, Snoopy's Christmas.

Three years after Roxy Music, I finally make it to a second, proper live show.  While the Roxy show kicked off a new era in my life—concertgoing—this gig instead closed an era.  This episode is less about Bob Seger and more about discovering punk rock and new wave as the old wave left the building for me.  I no longer wanted still the same. Tune in for imbibing masses, gesticulating specks, and wanting “completely different.”Read the original blog post from 2010 here. mylifeinconcert.com

Since forming in the 70's, Toby Beau has been through everything the music business has to offer from dive roadhouses to stadiums, record deals to band breakups plus a chart climbing smash hit. And all these years later one thing keeps them rocking-- their love for music.
