Wroxeter, Ontario, Canada
Wroxeter is an unincorporated village included in Howick Township, a municipality located in Huron County, which also includes the villages of Gorrie and Fordwich. Its name is derived from the village of Wroxeter, Shropshire, England.
The first settlers arrived in Howick Township in 1851. In 1854 township lots were put up for sale resulting in a wave of settlement. Wroxeter's first settlers included the Gibson Brothers, Thomas and Robert.
In 1874 the railroad came to Wroxeter. Wroxeter grew to include five general stores, five hotels, two schools (which were in operation until 1950), a library, a woolen mill, a grist mill, and even a pool hall. A train station was eventually built which provided transportation to and from the Toronto area. According to William Smith, the population of Wroxeter grew to be around 700-800 people by the late 1800s.
Wingham, located ten miles from Wroxeter, eventually hosted the intersection of two railroad lines which resulted in its becoming the major commerce center for the region. Businesses were slowly drawn away from Wroxeter and other surrounding communities.
By the late 1800s, as businesses diminished, a migration of sorts from Wroxeter began to other locales around Canada...and to the United States. Thomas M. Smith and his family for example migrated to Michigan in 1901 where they settled in Manistique. By the 1930s, Wroxeter was considered to be a ghost town.
Wroxeter's old industries have vanished. Today its citizens, realizing the state of their community, have demolished many of its older structures and in some cases replaced them with new. Many of the original structures left standing have been refurbished.
Howick Homes, under the direction of George Oriold, has contributed greatly to the resurrection of Wroxeter as a viable residential community by constructing many new homes in the area. Wroxeter's population is now at approximately 400, with a total Howick Township population having reached 3,856 as of 2011.
Wroxeter is now considered to be a village, a part of the township consisting of Gorrie, Fordwich, and Wroxeter, all of which are located in Huron County, Ontario. Schooling is provided by Howick Township Public Schools, belonging to the Avon Maitland District School Board.
Howick Township celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2006.

Portia May White - 1st Afro-Canadian Singer To Go International

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portia May White was the first Afro-Canadian singer trained only in Canada to reach an international stage. As an African-Canadian, her popularity helped to open previously closed doors for talented blacks who followed.
Portia May White was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, the third child of Izie Dora and William Andrew White. Her father, a Baptist minister, graduated from Acadia University (First Black Graduate.) in Nova Scotia in 1903. When he became the minister at Cornwallis Street Baptist Church in Halifax, young Portia joined the choir at age six, thus beginning her musical career. When she was eight years old, Portia White had learned the soprano parts from the opera Lucia di Lammermoor, and was given the opportunity to sing on Canadian radio broadcasts.
Portia White attended Dalhousie University in 1929, and in the early 1930s found a teaching job in Africiville, a community just outside of Halifax, founded by former slaves from the United States after the War of 1812. She won a scholarship in 1939 to continued her musical training at the Halifax Conservatory with the support of the Halifax Ladies Musical Club.
In 1941 Portia White met Edith Read, a fellow Nova Scotian, and principal of a private girl’s school in Toronto, Ontario. Recognizing White’s talent, Read made arrangements for her to perform at Eaton Auditorium in Toronto on November 7, 1941, the first of several performances on the Toronto concert stage over the next few years. In 1944 White auditioned with Edward Johnson, the Canadian-born general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, New York. Through Johnson White made her United States debut at New York’s Town Hall before a packed audience, becoming the first Canadian to sing there. Her repertoire included both European classics and Negro spirituals with which most critics and audiences felt she really excelled.
Portia White’s international career was unfortunately quite brief. Between 1945 and 1948 she toured extensively in Canada, United States, and Latin America. She found these tours to be gruelling partly because her body and voice had little rest between concerts. By 1952 she gave up the concert stage and returned to Toronto to teach music. There White became the voice and music instructor of such well known performers as Lorne Greene, Dinah Christie, Don Francks, and Robert Goulet. On October 6, 1964 White gave a command performance before Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Portia White died in Toronto in February 1968 after a long battle with cancer. Since then many honours have been bestowed on her. Canada Post has issued a Portia White stamp. In 1997 the Nova Scotia government created a special award for artists in her memory. A plaque in Truro declared Portia White to be a person of historic significance, the first Canadian woman of African descent to receive this designation, a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman who figured so prominently in the musical life of her community and the world.

Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire.
It is notable for its long association with the English and later British royal family and for its architecture.
The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror.
Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by all monarchs, and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe.
The castle's lavish early 19th-century State Apartments were described by the art historian Hugh Roberts as
a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste.
Inside the castle walls is the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by the historian John Martin Robinson to be
one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic design.

The legendary Ragtime Bob Darch plays Joe Jordan's 1909 song That Teasin' Rag at the 2001 World Chamionship Old-Time Piano Playing Contest in Decatur, Illinois, followed by what has to be the world's greatest musical joke. The Pied Piper of Ragtime brought such composers as Eubie Blake and Joe Jordan out of retirement. He passed away a year after this video was made.

Summary:
Just three and a half months before the fateful plane crash that killed Skynyrd members Steve Gaines, his sister, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (of the Honkettes), and lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt, Lynyrd Skynyrd played this 4th of July weekend program in Oakland.
While this is only a partial recording of the show, two of the three songs are probably the ones you would skip to anyway: Sweet Home Alabama and the legendary closing track that has inspired legions of concert-going yokels to make millions of ironic requests over the years, Free Bird. The first track is an excerpt of a standard Skynyrd live show cover, Jimmie Rodgers' T for Texas The guys take six minutes to stretch their legs on this version of Sweet Home Alabama. The song had been released three years prior as a response song to the Neil Young numbers Southern Man and Alabama, which were both critical of southern politics. Ironically, by some reports, Van Zant was wearing a Neil Young t-shirt at the time of this performance.
The show is closed with Free Bird, which by many fans' estimations is only rivaled by Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven as the most epic closing song in rock history. Allen Collins handles most of the five-minute solo, while Gary Rossington plays the bird-chirp guitar parts, which are not on the original recording, as well as the slide work on the opening riffs. Billy Powell also plays a masterful piano solo that is unique to the live show.
While Lynyrd Skynyrd would release the multi-platinum Street Survivors in October of 1977, the band's structure would be fundamentally devastated by the crash of their private Convair 240 that took the lives of three members, as well as the pilots and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and terribly injured every other member, except for Honkette, JoJo Billingsley, who was at home with her children and had reportedly begged the band to quit using the plane after dreaming of such a crash.
From the ashes of this Skynyrd incarnation, Van Zant's younger brother, Johnny, stepped in and made Lynyrd Skynyrd a popular band once more when they reformed in 1987. Lynyrd Skynyrd is planning to release an unearthed recording of pre-plane crash Skynyrd in 2009.
Careers Without College Live at Club Aruba (Toronto) Dec. 6, 1983: Set 2
Careers Without College was a Toronto band started up around 1982 by Ron Naples (guitar), Tony Oldland (guitar, vocals) and Leo Cormier (drums) who had grown up and played in various high school bands together. CWC had various additions to round out the band including: Al Barton-guitar, Dennis Travis-harmonica, Adrian-vocals and Al Kingston-bass. Peter MacDonald (lead vocals) and Michel Plourde (bass, keys, vocals) joined the next year and they rehearsed in Tony's basement bedroom twice a week for the next year and a bit.
Their first gig, other than a couple of parties, was a 3 night stint at the Club Aruba in Toronto (on Queen St. West at McCaull - later it was The Ultrasound above X-Rays) where they played to three packed houses. Someone had a video recorder on the last night and my friend Jeff McCollough manned the camera for us (we never paid or thanked him - sorry Jeff). Live recording by Delta Sound, Mike Kris: engineer, live sound and lights by Andy Fong (and someone else - ?).
After that, the band occasionally played around town (places like Larry's Hideaway and the Ben Lamont Tavern) for the next few years playing a mix of top-40, bluesy rock and a several originals. The band made one indi-video for their song Prisoner At Large and eventually disbanded in 1986. The had a few impromptu reunion/jams in the 90s at CobyFest in Cobaconk Ontario. Video made in iMovie 2016.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
