Once upon a time, on a mountain, on an island in the sea...

To order a digitally re-mastered CD of the complete 1974 SODBUSTERS album (containing such mega-hits as "Livin' in a Hideout," "Dodger Rag," and "She Laughed When I Told her I Prayed," etc., etc.),

Email me (Dan Pedrick) at:sbusters@sodbusters.ca

Meanwhile, here's a free taste, the complete version of "Livin' in a Hideout"

Still not sure? OK, tell ya what I'm a-gonna do... here is the rockabilly flavored"Fine Little Lady" also written and sung by yours truly. This cut appeared on an early version of the Sodbusters album but was deleted from the final for technical reasons (namely, it wouldn't fit). Let me know if you want this mp3 file included on your cd disk.

The original Sodbusters, conceived and born on Salt Spring Island, made their debut there on December 27, 1972, in Beaver Point Hall. The band consisted of (in alphabetical order) Ken Gross, Paul Newman, Dan Pedrick, and Robert Walshaw. Later we were joined by Kelly Cavanagh (a.k.a. Huckle), Jody Marquis, Wendy Sinclair, and Kathy Stack. Guest players on the 1974 album included Ray Newman and John Prisland. Many other musicians and dancers appeared on stage with us over the years. The Grim Reaper has taken its inevitable harvest over time and so we can only fondly remember—and miss—Wende, Ray, John, and Bobby.

Oh, what a time it was!
