Time of Your Life (62-65)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube- FOUR STRONG WINDS


The Ian and Sylvia classic sung on CBC-TV's
young peoples' series (62-65), "Time of Your Life,"
with co-hosts Peter Kastner and Michelle Finney.
Michelle had been the star of the CBC-TV kids' show hit, "Razzle Dazzle." ... Peter Kastner



YouTube- Ian & Sylvia - Four Strong Winds - re-synchronized!

The Ian and Sylvia classic sung on CBC-TV's young peoples' series (62-65), "Time of Your Life." This ancient clip was put up more than a year ago by another YouTube member, peterkastner, but somehow the "lip sync" between voice and video was off almost a second. These old tapes were often originally films shot from "Kinescope" monitors of the B&W screen. Sometimes the audio, recorded separately, was not synched tightly during film transfer to videotape. This clip is a perfect "folkie time-warp" and deserves better... R Taylor Den

That's very nice. I enjoyed that.

[Jesse Joe]

I seem to remember Razzle Dazzle a little bit. :)

Kastner's is a sad tale...in or out of synch, I didn't enjoy hearing Finney's dominant harmony...that seems to be a common tendency when duos, trios, choirs perform this song, same true of simon and garfunkel or everlys stuff...listen to some of the more isolated lead melody versions of this tune and you'll realize why it shouldn't be drowned out, imo (in many's opinion)

i exchanged thoughts with (Bob) R Taylor Den regarding his own performances back in his day...his interesting EMR rendition is posted under our Covers Forum, enjoy

What happened to Kastner jj ?

[Jesse Joe]

I did find the Bob R Taylor Den video jj and I believe it would fit in this thread also... B&W ! He sang it good.

YouTube- Bob Taylor - Early Morning Rain

What I really enjoyed were the vocals up there, jj. Especially hers and neither one of them sounded overpowering.

Don't know if this following video fit this thread, but thought it might be of interest to someone.

YouTube- Ian & Sylvia Tyson - old clips from 60s, 70s

must be personal preference, some like that...have had similar discussions with friends re PP&M renditions where lead melody for EMR and 4LM is basically 'washed over'

i find the 4SW harmony to lead mix (ratio) is about 60:40, i prefer it at about 30:70 or even 20:80

if you check out Ian and Sylvia's recordings or reunion performance or even Neil Young (and wife Peggi's) Live8 performance you will hear what I would consider a more palatable mix...sometimes I just like hearing some of these classics with melody alone as it's so refreshing and reminds you what a wonderful tune it really is

just for the record, i do love harmony...but usually not much in verses

isn't the interview section of this clip especially wonderful? i had heard before that Blowin in the Wind inspired 4SW

YouTube- Ian Tyson talks to Jerry Jeff Walker and sings Summer Wages (Austin 1991)

loved hearing Lovin Sound in the cool old clip you posted, patti!

jessi, if you google or youtube Peter's name you would find clips of him pretty desperate for any sort of work in latter stages of career (which isn't unusual) but the well-to-do family smearing and attempt at 'quieting' of his incest and other allegations against mother were especially unsettling since they were out right out in public (a family member was a journalist...this was before days of internet and tabloids ie. before the times were we became numb to this stuff...i mean, today when we see bizarre tabloid headlines, we hardly blink an eye...we're now part of the octamom generation)

jessi, the EMR clip doesn't show his feet but to see some of Bob's simultaneous bass footwork, click on some of his other clips from that old tv appearance...i don't know how he effortlessly does both at once...it's kinda like chewing gum and walking...i can hardly even chew gum properly (the insides of my flappy cheeks get in the way:whistle:)

[Jesse Joe]

Really enjoyed the Ian Tyson/Jerry Jeff Walker clip...thank you much jj my good man for the info I will go check things out @ Google. :)
