| Danny Asks: I once heard there was some strange connection between Stompin' Tom Connors and the new wave group DEVOAlan answers: Um, can you give me any kind of a hint? There's nothing on Tom's official website (www.stompintom.com) that offers any clues. Maybe we should just email Tom directly: info@stompintom.com Lisa Asks: I am trying to find the name and whereabouts of a great compilation album which is at least 10 years old. It is a collection of covers - Billy Bragg doing "When Will I see You Again", Blur covering "Maggie Mae" Tears for Fears covers a Bowie song. It's a great album. Please help me find it.Alan answers: You're most likely thinking of a compilation called Ruby Trax, a three-disc compilation released by The NME, the British music magazine, in November 1992 on the Forty Records label. The complete track listing is below. Sounds like a great one for your BGO wish list! Dave Asks: Back in the 80's, CFNY, 102.1 FM played a song named "Sleeping" by Dwight Twilley that I fell in love with. I bought the album and still have it in my collection. Whatever happened to the band?Alan answers: Dwight Twilley (and later the Dwight Twilley Band) specialized in a more rugged form of Beatle-esque pop. Although he got off to a good start in the middle 70s with a Top 20 hit ("I'm on Fire") in 1975, he soon settled into cult-dom,but not before making friends with Tom Petty and contributing vocals to some of his records. Following the lymphoma death of his partner, Phil Seymour in 1993, Twilley went solo and continues to release records. His most recent was a 2005 studio album called 47 Moons on the DMI label. By the way, "Sleeping" is from the Dwight Twilley band's 1977 album, Twilley Don't Mind. And yes, it's available on CD. ![]() Better than finding spare change in the couch!!
