Biography
The singer-songwriter known as Huckle was born in 1954 and grew up in Montreal and Toronto. Huckle moved west to Gabriola Island in 1973 and helped organize two western tours by Perth County Conspiracy (dne), performing the warmup act for some of the shows. In spring 1974, on the first tour, a live recording was made of eleven Huckle songs, with Gary McKeehan engineering. Nine songs were recorded live after soundcheck for Perth County’s Vancouver concert at Pender Auditorium March 1974.
The band included Huckle on vocals, guitar, and mandolin, with Richard Keelan (guitar), Michael Butler (bass), and George Koumantaros (congas) from Perth County, as well as Paul Gellman (vocals, fiddle, guitar) and Wende Sinclair (vocals, bamboo flute). Two more songs performed by Huckle and Paul were recorded live on stage at Gabriola Hall the next night. These tracks became Huckle’s first independent album release, “Upon a Once Time”. 500 copies were pressed and mostly sold off the stage at concerts. One of the very first “indie” records, it has now become rare vinyl, and sells for a lot more than it did when it was new ($3), if you can find one. In summer 1974 Huckle moved to Salt Spring Island and joined the wildly popular local band Sodbusters. They threw boogies at community halls up and down Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the mainland. They also had a grant to tour and perform in BC prisons and work camps.

Canadian Hippie Folk from 1976. Excellent music for the road, this rare and hard to find album is a perfect example of folk and rock made by a bunch of hippies in the seventies. Acoustic guitar and haunting fiddle. -.-.-.-. om hari om .....
