    David Wilcox was so unique, so different from any other Canadian acts at the time, it’s amazing that he was Canadian. Was big with the Grade 12/13 and university crowds back in the 80s. Guy looks amazing for his age.

      Stop saying "was", he's not dead you know, in fact, he's got a daughter who's quite accomplished also.

    I think I wore my cassette out repeatig this song. I love David Wilcox. My wife and I saw him at a small venue in Niagara Falls - man he was so much fun. I've been trying to find him in concert again ever since.

    One day he will get the respect he deserved all along.
    He took the blues and made them his own, in fine fashion...thats Rocknroll baby!

    I saw David at The Knob Hill Hotel in Scarborough Ont, late 70's.
    Then at The Nags Head North bar, just north of Toronto Ont. in the 80's.
    Had a great time. Great music.

    Thanks for sharing this video Dave. I saw you play many times in and around St. Catharines years ago. I always loved the way you loved your guitar and it loved you right back. Perfect companionship you have with your guitar. You played the Welland House ( it's gone now... burned down a few months ago) in St. Catharines a few times and they were all great parties. Hope to see you again in the near future.
    Peace, Walter

    Nags Head North - 1980 - 83 worked there. I would not miss a night. Looked after band room between sets. Very beginning I use to sit and chat with David before his evening in banquet room later to be main stage. So talented. David reborn!!! 👏👏👍👍

    That's how we kept our beer cold was a netted type bag we would load up with beer and hang in of the side of the boat and it kept the beer warm all day and the ice we used for the fish and if anyone came around no one would see any beer anyway been up to Lake Muskoka many times and know some people with cottages on that lake go up every summer to get away from the big city. Looks like David is going to be up to Lake Muskoka this summer in Bala for two nights too

    Did you do a lot of takes recording this Dave, was there a lot of punch ins and doubled guitars. That intro sounds like three or more playing harmonies, really gives it a horn section feel.

      Indeed. Shame on Boom 97.3 FM for not playing more David Wilcox.
      Wilcox is easily one of Canada's greatest guitarists and arguably one of Canada's greatest songwriters.
