OTTAWA --
Jim Hurcomb’s written a love letter.
It’s a tribute to Ottawa’s great musicians of the 1950s and 60s—performers who gave Ottawa a golden era of rock ‘n roll.
“It was really an unprecedented time. Someone called Ottawa Liverpool North in the 1960’s. The musicians and fans knew this. And thanks to the book, nobody’s going to forget it,” said Hurcomb.
The book is called “Rockin’ on the Rideau: Ottawa’s Golden Age of Rock and Roll”.
It’s fitting that Jim Hurcomb is spinning this musical story.
The legendary Ottawa radio broadcaster has been spinning discs and rubbing shoulders with rock icons for decades
