September 2011
A couple friends of mine . . . as soon as you leave the perimeter in Winnipeg heading west and you mention their name, everybody knows them. 
They are Bill and Sue-On Hillman --  they are Western Manitoba legends -- and they've been performing, I won't say how long because I don't want to embarrass them with revealing how long they've been going : ) . . . but they are legends across Southern Manitoba. 

They perform country and they perform rock and they're still out there -- still wowing audiences. 

They came and played at our Shakin' All Over event last summer and they were just a delight to have. 

They've recorded a number of albums and this is a track that Bill actually sent me. It's their version of YOU WERE ON MY MIND which was written by Sylvia Tyson and was an Ian and Sylvia song. Unlike the We Five, what Bill and Sue-On Hillman have done is they stick to the Ian and Sylvia arrangement but they rock it up - folk rock it up - and add organ to it.

This is off their second album (and CD compilation No. 12) recorded in 1971 at the original Century 21 Studios over on King Edward Street. 

So this is going out to you, Bill and Sue-On, because it's a great track and I'm glad I was able to get it together in time for the show. We had a little bit of a panic this afternoon but this is YOU WERE ON MY MIND by Bill and Sue-On Hillman from Brandon, Manitoba.
