Hey Joe, some very nice bands there and many nice songs I recognize will have to check out some of those songs. There are a quite a few songs I think had a California/westcoast feel to it for sure even though the title does not reference California.
In Canada I remember there were a few bands with that westcoast/California vibe. Perhaps it’s because of the influence from the California sound from the 60’s given the close proximity being on the west coast. I don’t think these ones were well known outside of Canada but were hits on the westcoast of Canada anyway in the 70s. I’d be curious if you heard any of these. Nice video BTW.
Chilliwack – California Girl (1977)

Trooper – We’re Here For a Good Time (not a long time)

Hey Jung,
Some good tunes. Really liked We’re Here For a Good Time. I never heard these songs. Two good Canadian Bands.
Thanks for the turn on.
Joe

Lol… I was meaning for this topic posting to be strictly California based band/singers, Hence the California Sound… How on Earth did Trooper / Chilliwack equate into this… Lol… They ‘re Canadian and I did meet Trooper once and the one guy from band was a jerk…?!… Ok…. Back on track now. California Based please…. Sorry that you all misunderstood my wording….
-
Okay, recap… Strictly/specifically California Band/Singers I was intending regarding this post…. My apologies for having worded it wrong and it was misunderstood for my meaning, I had listed California bands, singers specifically to get ball rolling… Although good song selection are listed… but are they all from California?! ????????

Good morning Jung,
Listen I’ve notice the last couple email I received from site generated by you answering  on General Discussion on a topic. This one and others . When I open email the Hyperlink does not work. It’s not highlighted in blue and when you click on it. Does not go to site.
Question are you doing anything different?
If Not can you tell me how to report this then. This is the only site it is happening on with my e mail.
Please get back to me. Thanks
Joe
PS This also has happen on other members mail I received. Help!!!

Just a thought Joe:
If you have subscribed to receive replies pertaining to this forum, you’ll always get the replies to the specific postings that which you have subscribed to , you can also unsubscribe to stop receiving emails of replies to all forum topics …I hope that helps or might explain what’s going on , or….perhaps in a recent website upgrading, this was the result….

Hi Jackie,
Hope all is well. Are you talking about The Setting option on my account?
I see there is a tab for Export Data?  Not sure, any help would be appreciated.
I also sent issue to Rudy.
I don’t mind getting email to my personal email. I just don’t understand why the hyperlink
stopped working. It always worked up until yesterday. Strange.

Hi again Joe:
My tech smart knowhow is quite limited… Lol… I don’t quite understand what you meant by in your reply to me about hyperlink, etc.
I just know under all the tabs, you can have option to subscribe/not to receive all replies pertaining to the postings in those tabs, like General Discussion for an example… I’m not sure why you’re getting the weird things going on in your email, unless Team MLT did a recent website upgrade and this was an after effect. I always get replies by whomever to postings I subscribed to, in receiving the replies by email…. I hope that explanation helped but if further confused you, my apologies if so… I explained best I could, perhaps someone else more knowledgeable with this can offer better explanation or Team MLT replied to your inquiry over on the Support Tab.

Hi Jacki, Thanks for getting back to me . Believe it or not it is working now. Your comment when it came to my personal email. The hyperlink worked when I clicked on it.. So problem solved. I did send an email to Rudy. Maybe he did something. Not sure. But it works. So all is good. Thanks again for your advise. You have a wonderful evening.
