Joe Hall, R.I.P. - Update

Sad news reported this morning by Douglas McArthur. Joe Hall has left us. He was a brilliant, quirky songwriter and performer who never got the recognition he deserved. I saw him perform solo a few times, but unfortunately never with his band, The Continental Drift.

Here's what I think is one of his best songs, a true Canadian classic, Vampire Beavers. from the album Rancho Banano.

You can find more of his music and buy his albums on his Bandcamp site.

Update: Here's an obituary originally published in the Globe and Mail. There will be a celebration of his life at the Tranzac Club on May 17th. I may go.
