are dead or never dead to us until we have forgotten them as always i'm opening this episode with that quote from george elliott because I believe it. By remembering those who have passed, we give them life. Let's remember those we lost in August 2023. This memorial episode of Toronto Mic'd is brought to you by Ridley Funeral Home, pillars of this community since 1921. pillars of this community since 1921. There was a time not long ago when I would almost brag about the fact that no guest of Toronto Mic'd had ever passed away. I still remember when we lost our first FOTM.

It was Andrew Crystal. And since then, we've said goodbye to It was Andrew Crystal. And since then, we've said goodbye to Alexander Mayer, Tom Stephen from the Jeff Healy Band, and Bob Segherini. Sadly, in August, we lost another FOTM. A gentleman I connected with in September of 2022. Little did I know he'd pass away less than a year later. For the full Hal Harbour treatment,

you want episode 1114 of Toronto Mic'd. To hear more about what kind of a guy Hal was, I reached out to FOTM Danny Elwell and Joe Faluna, who worked closely with Hal Harbour at CFNY and remained his lifelong friend. Here's my conversation with Danny and Joe. Danny Elwell, Joe Faluna, thanks for chatting with me this evening.

Hi. Thanks for having us. And Danny, are you in the T-Dot? And Joe, do we find you in Vancouver? Yeah. Yes, I am in the T-Dot. Yes, and someday I will come visit Joe in Vancouver. I hope so. Did you two meet at CFNY? Yes. Yes, we did.

I was there in, when did I land? 1989. And that's when I first met Joe. And we also vacationed together. and we also vacationed together, which was kind of fun. How was that, Joe, to vacation with Danny Elwell? It was awesome.

It was like, if I remember, Danny, it felt a bit random. Was it really random? Like, we just kind of did it on impulse. I believe it was, like, first week of December, we took off to Cuba, of all places, too. Like, us just sitting here talking about how, you know don't love the heat and off we went to Cuba in December um it was really great it was really interesting with Dani because everybody's really familiar with her amazing vibe but the people that she drew in do you remember Dani like it was so it was so interesting like they, they all had great vibes.

There was a psychic lady. And there was all these really interesting people that were so drawn. Like, it was really cool. It was great. I like the fact that when you say it was random and kind of sudden, I like the fact that we actually didn't know each other that well. And it was just sort of like, you want to go away? And she's like, yeah, let's do it. And we're like you want to go away and she's like yeah let's do it and we're

like okay let's let's go to Cuba and we just kind of took off for a while and hung out and it was it was nice well that's wild that's wild so that means Joe you get to CFNY first you're there when Danny arrives so would you mind uh just sharing with us I've never had the pleasure of talking to you before but uh give us a a little little taste of what brought you to CFNY. Yeah, I was there first. When I met Danny and I was there first, I was there on my second run. So I started at CFNY in 1984. And interestingly enough, I've been in the business for 39 years now,

which kind of freaks me out. I don't feel like I'm old enough, but I was very young when I started. Um, and, uh, I left, came back. So when I first started there, sorry, I'll just go back. I was receptionist and then, um, I was a very feisty 18 year old and I felt like I wasn't treated fairly, and I didn't earn enough money, and I left, which at that time in 1985, most of my friends thought I was insane. But anyway, maybe I was insane. I don't know.

But it definitely set the standard for my life moving forward, which is kind of interesting. I worked part-time off and on with the Live World Drive in Beverly Hills, did the club scene with them and Chris Shepard for many years, like in between. Well, I guess for three or four years in between when I carried other full-time jobs. And then, shockingly, the lady I quit from, Mary Curtis, kindly called and asked me to come back to do reception. Temporarily, as she put it, because we're going to give you a bigger job, I promise. And within six months, and I was like, I only want to work in programming.

And, and, and funny enough, that's how I ended up working with Hal Harbor, because I did reception for a short period of time, and then moved into programming to work with him. And that's kind of how I landed back there. And just to position that for you. And that's kind of how I landed back there and just to position that for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. You too, Danny. Hal Harbour, I had the pleasure of having him on the program and we had a great chat for 90 minutes. And I can't believe he's passed on.

He seems so vibrant and full of life. And that was less than a year ago. And I'm so sorry we lost him too soon. Yeah, he was a pretty remarkable human being. I didn't, unlike Joe, I didn't work directly with him, although he was always around, and I certainly came after him in the lineup of shows. But he was a contagious person. He had an energy and a remarkable spirit that was almost fearless. And, you know, how was a creative soul and everything that he did?

I've never, like, it's funny because I rarely meet anyone like this. But he had this spirit that, you know, he gave much more than was ever asked in any capacity, whether it was as a friend, whether it was work. I'm sure as a family member, that was the case as well. I'm sure as a family member that was the case as well. He just was one of those people that always gave more. And that's a remarkable spirit to be around. It's palpable. Now, before we dive into how Joe was working with Hell Harbor and their friendship.

Dani, I remember seeing photos of you in Halifax. I feel like that was last summer. Am I right? It was. I went out to Halifax July of last year, and I was only there for a couple of days. I was trying to get in as many folk because I'd never been there before, and I had trying to get in as many folk because I'd never been there before and I had friends out there,

people from Jazz FM time and jazz and all that sort of stuff. And I was kind of calling up Hal or Doug and saying, so I don't know if I'm going to get the chance to see you. And he said, you know what? I'm going to drive you to the airport. And I went, went yeah like well I'll pick you up we'll go hang out in a park for a while and then I'll drive you to the airport I'm like oh okay so we just sat and and and uh

chatted for a while in a in a park somewhere in Halifax I don't even know where it was and caught up and we And we had caught up a couple of times previous. He had come to visit at Jazz FM as well. We kept in touch quite a bit. Like, you know, Joe will attest to this. You know, he's one of those people that, you know, out of the blue would just send like a picture of him wearing socks or, you know, like a picture of him, you know, surfing somewhere or some graphic kind of look of Andy Warhol version of himself. So there was always contact, but that was the first time I'd seen him in in quite a few years. quite a few years and he had hinted that he wasn't doing well these last couple of years health-wise but seemed to be uh ahead of it you know was was kind of getting better so yeah it was a surprise now joe you mentioned that you were working with uh well i'll call him i know i

asked him can i call you hal harbour because i know he's's Doug Barron, but we all know him as Hal Harbour. And he said, yeah, lots of people call him Hal. So I'm going to refer to Doug Barron as Hal Harbour here. That's cool. No, thank you. Yes, it's easier. It's easier. That's my relationship.

That's how you know him. The Canadian Development Department, is that the CFNY department where you and Hal Harbour worked? Yep, the Canadian Talent Development Department. I think we were a CRTC obligation, if I'm not mistaken. We sat in a tiny little office next to reception. And it really was a tiny little office. And it's interesting because I've had so many jobs since then. And to think about sharing a space that small with anybody else just seems absurd. And I mean, the fact that I only remember working in that tiny little space with him is so much fun. much fun and everything like Denny had said like he's definitely very unique genuine and kind and creative and him and I are quite different in that he's very creative and I appreciate creativity

so I'm not really creative um we liked quite diverse music but we always ended up in the middle somewhere. And it was a bit of this, one of these like yin yang things. I kept us on the line, kept everything organized. And he was all like wacky goofy all over the place. But like, I can't even remember laughing as much in a job since those days, because he is interesting at his memorial service. His son-in-law had talked about getting a text from him and getting all these emojis.

And I can only imagine because like when I worked with him, he had the stamp pad and he had like a few different colors of stamp pads and millions of stamps. It felt like there was a stance every time you turned around and he'd type up a memo and he put put it on your desk and he'd stamp it with something and every day it was like a different color or a different thing or a different something and it was his version of emojis before emojis were a thing and um and that really that was so interesting to me because it's like he still was so who he was and and like just a beautiful person, like everybody keeps saying. And it was interesting because we really did great work together and had so much fun. And sometimes, like, actually, a lot since his passing, I've thought about it and wondered why work can't be more like that,

you know, like, in any job. Now, Jo, when I tweeted about, you know, the passing of Hell Harbor, I got a reply from Tyler Stewart from Bare Naked Ladies. Yeah. I mean, he basically said like, Hal was like the greatest champion and what would, you know, how much Hal helped getting Bare Naked Ladies on CFNY? One of, yeah.

So it feels like so casual. Like when I think, when I reflect on it, on CFNY? One of, yeah, so it feels like so casual, like when I think, when I reflect on it, it's interesting how it doesn't, it just felt like things just happened, and I know I sound very aloof in how I'm going to present this, but you know, we'd be in the office, and a band would just

walk through the door, like Stephen Page would come in and he'd sit down, and he'd be like, hey, I want to get my song in for you. We're like, oh yeah, so yeah so you know are you registered to So Can and we go through all these silly little things trying to help these bands we're just getting started it happened with the Tea Party and it happened with you know a lot of bands in that era there was the Wild Strawberries and the Saddle Trance and he and he definitely had his hand in everything and was a great supporter of all of it and because of the projects that we worked on through Barenaked Ladies specifically

through the Discovery to Dis program which was money of funding that was set aside for shows a band to record a record and they recorded their first album with that hundred thousand dollars and got signed to Sire Records. And it really is kind of like an incredible story for us because not that you're passive about it, we were super passionate about the Barenaked Ladies. I felt like I could see the big picture and was very fortunate to carry through their career

and working at Warner's over the years and being you know connected continuously um but definitely how's passion drove so much um we could get on things together and just never let go and the bare naked ladies was one of those things and even for myself i remember going into music meetings and bringing their songs over and over and over again. I was like, oh, my God, we have to finally add this thing. This is just like, you guys are relentless about this, you know. And it's interesting because that was his drive.

His drive wasn't to go work for some big corporate company and run it. And his drive wasn't to be the next A&R guy. That was totally not him. But he had that. He actually had what it took. But his drive was so focused on the acts, not himself in it all the time. It's very selfless, which is kind of odd.

And I think I can see how Tyler would be touched by that, like 100%. He spent so much time with them. They came in all the time. They played our bowling parties. They were in reception just playing and hanging out. They were a huge part of what I consider the beginning of my career. And with Hal and I, that, I would say, together would be like our pride and joy,

the success that they went on to have. Dani, do you remember Barenaked Ladies busking in the, you know, the hallways of Safe and Wine? I do, I do. And I also remember the moment that, Joe, did you go to the New Music Seminar in New York? Yep, I sure did. And Hal, too, right right and and we were there they had their um you know showcase and this was the sort of passing of of the cassette uh and the music to the u.s and the whole you know time it's like oh my god is Sean Lennon here? Sean, is Yoko here? You know, it was this massive, crowded, hype room. I was excited that Seymour Stein was there.

It's like, you know, when you're on the inside even, you're like, what? Like, this was like, this guy wanted to sign this band. To me, I was just like, mind blown. He was attached to so many, you know, artists that I loved at the time. And it was just amazing. Like it really was special.

Yeah. Earlier this year when Seymour Stein passed away, I actually, for a Ridley Funeral Home Memorial episode, I talked to Stephen Page about Seymour Stein. So it's interesting that here it comes now. And again, didn't expect to be talking about the great Hal Harbour this soon. It's so, so, so sad. If you, you know, what are you going to miss the most, Dani, about Hal Harbour? Oh, his spirit, his spirit, his smile, his, you know, we talk a lot about his creativity and his fun loving goofy kind of spirit but at the same time as as joe has noted he got stuff done like it's oh yeah you often think

of sort of that fun loving spirit as someone who's just you know a joker and who's kind of just not a bit of the fool but is just kind of flopping around in the world. But Hal got stuff done all the time. And it seemed throughout his career. I mean, the work that he did out east with the CBC and all of it. Like, he just got stuff done. He did things. He was a doer.

And I think that's a big part of what I'm going to miss. Joe, how about you? What will you miss most about Hal Herber? Oh God, there's so many things. I'm not sure what the one thing that would be the most, I think. Um, I'm not sure. I think it's actually just to tap on something that Danny had mentioned earlier about, like he's, he was very brave because he was, he was brave enough to always be himself. And I really haven't met a lot of people who are that real and that genuine.

And you know, when you talk about like living in the moment and being who you are all the time he was that and that blew my mind from his memorial service too and every generation of anyone who spoke about him he was the same person from start to finish and he lived this like beautiful life of being able to be tapped into him people can't do that like again like I've worked in this business for 39 years I've never met anyone like him nobody and I've had a variety of jobs and met loads of even artists they cannot be that true to themselves like it's just very difficult to me that's probably the thing I'll miss the most but also the thing that will resonate with me the most. And that constant reminder of, you know, that made him special. It's okay to be that way, be that way,

you know? Yeah. He's a lesson to us all. For sure. It's CFNY. FM 102.1, welcoming back Hal Harbour into the city. Hal, are you there? Oh, hi, Danny. Hi. Good morning. Hey, welcome back to the city. Hey, how's it going? Did you have a good trip?

Yeah, I had a real good trip. We lost our transmission, though, in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. So we had to spend a day there taking in the tourist traps. Wow. Wow. What are you doing up? I just thought I'd get up real early and head down to Sunnyside Pool for a little swim before the masses get there. Work out with the seniors. When are you coming back into work? Tomorrow, I guess.

You know what? Actually, I miss you. It's odd not having you around here. It's been quite a while. We were in New York for a week, and then I was on vacation for two weeks, so it's been like three weeks since I've actually been there in the flesh. Wild, wild ex. Wild, wild ex. Wild, wild ex.

He wrote The Wait, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up on Cripple Creek, pretty much all those big hits from the band. He had solo hits with Broken Arrow, which you just heard, and Somewhere Down the Crazy River.

He worked with Martin Scorsese on The Last Waltz, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Casino, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman, and The Killers of the Flower Moon. And he's just a big damn part of rock and roll history. With Ronnie Hawkins in The Hawks, then Levon in The Hawks, and then with Bob Dylan when he went electric. Robbie Robertson died in Los Angeles on August 9th, 2023,

at the age of 80, after a year-long battle with prostate cancer. Thank you. I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working at the snack bar. You better relax, Bob. There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf. All right, let's go. You like that, old man? You want a piece of me? I don't want a piece of you.

I want the whole thing! Now you're gonna get it, Bobby! The price is wrong, bitch. I think you've had enough. No? Now you've had enough. Bitch. If you were ever sick and had to stay home from school, you watched The Price is Right. I can't tell you how many times I watched The Price is Right

while home with a cold or a flu or the chicken pox. Bob Barker hosted that show from 1972 to 2007. He also hosted Truth or Consequences from 1956 to 1975. If your first thought of Bob Barker isn't The Price is Right or his cameo in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore. It's likely his advocacy for animal rights. He was always telling us to get our pets spayed or neutered. And we Torontonians remember when Bob Barker spent his own money to rescue three elephants from the Toronto Zoo

by transporting them 4,000 kilometers to a sanctuary. Two of those three elephants are still there. Bob loved animals. He passed away on August 26th in Los Angeles

at the age of 99 Thank you. Thank you. William Friedkin was the director best known for the crime thriller The French Connection, which won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director. He also directed the supernatural horror film The Exorcist, which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director. Friedkin died from heart failure and pneumonia at his home in Los Angeles

on August 7, 2023. He was 87 years old. Ladies and gentlemen Introducing the most dynamic person in the world So people of the world Don't fear the great Texas Chad Fonke is here You're so strong You are the power Great Texas. He'll fight them every day He'll fight them anywhere

Harry, you're so wild. You're my star. Harry, you're so wild You're my star Terry You're so sweet You're for me You're strong You are the power It would take me less time to shout out the wrestling promotions

that did not feature Terry Funk at some point. For 50 years, he wrestled everywhere. I remember seeing him in the WWF in the 1980s. He also did a bit of acting. You might have seen him in Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze or Over the Top. He even choreographed the street fight

between Rocky Balboa and Tommy Gunn at the end of Rocky V. That song you just listened to? That was the title track from the album Great Texan, which came out in 1984. Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart can be heard in that song. He of the Gentries, of course. In recent years, Terry Funk suffered from dementia. And he died on August 23rd at the age of 79. The road to the Stanley Cup means dealing with all sorts of pain,

from fractured psyches to fractured bones. In the early 60s, things were great for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They won the Stanley Cup in 62 and 63, with Bobby Vaughn as a hard-hitting defenseman who never had more than 20 points in a season. In 1964, the Leafs were facing elimination in the finals against the Detroit Red Wings. Vaughn blocks a gaud Howe shot with his ankle. Bob Bond, certainly is receiving a lot of attention from his teammates and the way he fell so heavily seemed to indicate a collision. The game went to overtime.

A pained Bond returned to the ice and scored the game winning goal. Langlois shoots it off the boards. Bob Bond lets it drive it. Oh, good! Bob Bond let it go. It bounced in front and went into the net. It inspired his team to a Game 7 4-0 win and a third straight Stanley Cup. I blocked a shot in front of the net during killing the penalty.

Then when I went into the faceoff with Gordie Howe, I just heard a snap and it caved in underneath me. After the series, x-rays revealed that his ankle had been fractured by the blocked shot. Bobby Bond's story lives on as legend because it's the cup. Growing up, Bobby Bond seemed like a mythical figure. Growing up, Bobby Bond seemed like a mythical figure. We all talked about the goal he scored on a broken leg to win the Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs. As you just heard, that was 1964, and it was in overtime.

And the game-winning goal evened the best-of-seven series at 3-3. That's right. It didn't win the Stanley Cup. That goal forced a game seven, and then we won game seven for nothing. But I always remember the story that Bobby Bond scored in overtime on a broken leg to win the Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Shout out to Bill Borilko. This mythical creature, Bobby Bond, passed away on August 14th, 2023 at the age of 86. Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Brad May wins it in overtime! Brad May! Buffalo sweeps the bronze! La la la la la la la Lafontaine!

We all did a Rick Jennerette impression, didn't we? Whether it was McGilney or Lafontaine or Mayday, Rick Jennerette had memorable calls. He called Sabres games from 1971 until his retirement in 2022. He retired as the longest tenured play-by-play announcer in NHL history. That Brad May overtime goal, by the way, is from 1993, and it sent the Buffalo Sabres to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1983. Rick Janaret died on August 17, 2023, from multiple organ failure. He was 81 years old. It's amazing how the mere ringing of a bell can make you think of an actor.

Mark Margolis is probably now best known for portraying Hector Salamanca in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Prior to his role as Hector, which got him nominated for an Emmy Award in 2012, he appeared in Scarface, Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, a number of Darren Aronofsky films, and a personal favorite television show of mine, Oz. Mark Margolis died in New York City following a short illness on August 3rd, 2023.

He was 83 years old. Bobby? Joseph? Would you put the jar down and help me look for the kids? I can't believe I lost Joseph. I hope his real dad doesn't eat my brain. But of course he will. Damn it, Dale, you're his real dad. No, I'm not.

When Joseph was a baby, who changed his diapers? You or some alien? I did. Who took him to his first day of kindergarten? I did. Who taught him how to tie his shoes? John Redcorn. Well, okay, but who taught him how to ride a bike?

John Redcorn. He taught Joseph, and Joseph taught me. Okay, but I didn't see the aliens doing that stuff. But you were there for every Christmas morning and scraped knee. You, Dale. Any alien can inject someone with his space juice and be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad.

Oh, my God! The Marfa Lads! It's the boys! Joseph, your dad's here! I know! I'm scared! No, you Earth dad. Dad! Don't go, son.

I don't want to go. Then run. Run away from the lot. Joseph. Dad! Joseph! You can't have him. He's my son! Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Dad, aliens impregnated Mom. That's a given. But isn't it possible that first they abducted you, stole your genetic material, and then used that to create me? Recovering, recovering, recovered memory! That's exactly how it went down, which means you are my flesh and blood genetic son. Can I just say I love King of the Hill? We've got Disney Plus in this house, mainly because the kids watch a lot of Pixar stuff.

But we also watch a lot of Simpsons. And next to the Simpsons, my favorite adult cartoon is King of the Hill. Johnny Hardwick was the voice actor who played Dale Gribble, and he was great. He was also a staff writer, a story editor, and a producer. Heck, he won an Emmy for producing King of the Hill back in 1999. Johnny Hardwick died at home in Austin, Texas on August 8, 2023. He was only 64 years old. Oh, I love you so Sixteen candles Make a lovely light But not as bright

As your rise tonight Blow out the candles Make your wish come true For I'll be wishing That you love me too You're only sixty But you're my teenage queen You're the prettiest, the wealthiest girl I've ever seen

I've ever seen Sixteen candles in my heart will glow Forever and ever For I love you so For I love you so You're only 16 But you're my teenage queen I am the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen.

I've ever seen. Sixteen candles in my heart will glow. Forever and ever For I love you so For I love you so That was 16 Candles by The Crests. Jerry Moss began his music career by promoting that song, a 1958 hit. In 1960, he moved to California, teamed up with Herb Alpert, and founded A&M Records. That got him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

Jerry Moss died at his Bel Air, California home on August 15, 2023, at the age of 88. I don't know where I'm going But I sure know where I've been Hanging on to promises and songs of yesterday And I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again Here I go again Though I keep searching for an answer I never seem to find what I'm looking for Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on Cause I know what it means To walk alone the longest street of dreams And here I go again on my own is

like a drifter i was born to walk alone And I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time I'm just another heart in the rescue Waiting on love's sweet charity And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my day Cause I know what it means To walk along the door of sweet dreams And here I go again on my own Going down the only road I've ever known

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone And I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time But here I go again Here I go again Here I go again Here I go again Here I go Cause I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own Going down the only road I've ever known Like a drifter I was born to walk alone And I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time And here I go again on my own Going down the only road I've ever known Like a drifter I was born

to walk alone Cause I know what it means To walk on the lonely streams And here I go again on my own Going down the only road I've ever known Bernie Marsden was the rock and blues guitarist

best known for his work with Whitesnake. Having written or co-written with David Coverdale, many of the band's hit songs, Fool for Your Lovin', Walkin' in the Shadows of the Blues, She's a Woman, Love Hunter, Trouble, Child of Babylon, Rough and Ready, and of course, Here I Go Again.
