   Recently a song that Bruce wrote back in the 70s called 'I Like What I Like'... that was previously recorded by his band 'Everyday People'... a popular touring & recording band from the 70s has been chosen as part of the soundtrack for the new television series 'Bones Of Crows' ...

'Mama Cass Elliot' from the 'Mamas & Papas' 'Mr. Creeps' from England... 'LTG Exchange' from the USA... sampled by ’Danny Krivit’ and others…Bruce’s band 'Everyday People' were released on 'GRT Records Canada' & 'Paramount Records USA' in 1970... The song was a massive underground hit in discos across 'North America' & beyond… It also received quite heavy rotation on radio in Canada and the USA as well… It's well documented online… on youtube...etc. This story pertains to an important part of the musical 'History of Maritime Music' & ‘Canadian Music’ as well.


   Bruce’s bands 'Everyday People'... 'Stitch In Tyme' & 'Molly Oliver' were a huge part of the early rock'n roll history of the Maritimes… Canada & USA…..It is amazing to have this song appear in the series 'Bones Of Crows' after all of these years...!! It shows how relevant the song was to the times.
