Thread Name: Bernie & Ruth MacLean at Blue Angel (Montreal)
Subject: RE: Bernie & Ruth MacLean at Blue Angel (Montreal)
I went to the Blue Angel when Bob Fuller replaced Tommy Burnside as a Solo Act. After tommy left it was never the same crowds, matter of fact it was far from being packed.Tommy Burnside was a very well known Country Singer in Montreal, and Bob Fuller was no where near the great talents of Tommy. The place went downhill after Tommy left. My friends and myself never went back, after hearing the guy named Bob Fuller try to Sing.
Welll the Owners lost many people, by Tommy leaving.
I heard Tommy formed his own band, and drew packed places whereever he played, just as he did in Montreal. Montreal lost a very gifted Country Singer and Showman, not to forget a true down to earth Gentleman
