Triumph- Just a Game

DSCN1220Happy Canada Day. This was a dollar. Sorry to be contrite but I had to write this on my phone as the network is down.

July 1st celebrates the anniversary of the British North America Act of 1867, which merged three colonies into a single country called Canada. Near total independence was granted with the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and full sovereignty came from the Canada Act of 1982. Triumph

This album was the big break in the US for Triumph. Formed in 1975 in Toronto, this was their third album. Released in 1979, it went Gold in the US and spawned their two biggest US hits, “Lay It On the Line” and “Hold On” .229148505_Triumph_band_xlarge

The album is ok. If you don’t like classic rock, it is not going to change your mind. I really liked American Girls but I thought it was not the right choice to play today. So I went with “Hold On”.DSCN1221

Meh. Somehow, I picture Homer Simpson in his car jamming to this. Happy Canada Day. I will be going to The Maple Leaf Pub later to celebrate.
