Canadian Rickenbacker Vids

During the beginning of the "Top Ten" sequences of Canadian Idol at the beginning of the summer, the youngest of the competitors walked out on stage and played a 360/6 red with black trim. While I am not a fan of the Idol series of shows, I happened to catch this performance on my way through the TV room. Here's 18 yr old Mookie Morris and his 360 on Canadian Idol, playing Twist and Shout:



He was eliminated fourth from the top, so he could get on with making a real music career. This kid was good, and he played a Ric.

Any others vids come to mind?

The penultimate Canadian video, complete with a 360.


People used to say I looked like Bryan Adams back in high school. I was deeply, deeply saddened.

Quality isn't so great, but there's a 330/12 in there!

The red 360 Mookie played is actually owned by Craig Collett from Coll Audio, (site of the first Canadian mini-confluence). Craig's company supplies the back line for Canadian Idol.

I had my suspicions that it was Craig. Very cool. We'll have to get him to bring it out next time.

I love the Skaface vid Greg. Looked like a good time that night. Hard to see the 360/12 but you can definitely hear it!

Here's one from Canada's elder statesmen of indie rock. Can't see the Rick (vintage 330/6 JG) very well, but at least there's an amusing Canadian geography lesson in the intro.
