Die Zeitschrift Blues Access (Ausgabe Nr.32, 1998), die man etwa bei eBay ersteigern kann, enthält John Goddards interessanten Bericht über Lonnie Johnsons Lebensabend in Toronto.
Der informative Beitrag ist die gekürzte Version des Lonnie Johnson-Kapitels (p.151-159) aus John Goddard / Richard Crouse: Rock and Roll Toronto. From Alanis to Zeppelin, das auch nur noch antiquarisch zu erstehen ist, aber auf den ersten und zweiten Blick ein sehr interessantes Buch zu sein scheint.
Die folgenden Statements skizzieren den Inhalt.
Klappentext: „From Alanis Morisette to Led Zeppelin, from the Crew Cuts to Barenaked Ladies -rock and roll history has been made in houses, apartments, hotels, clubs, public buildings, laundromats, and recording studios throughout the city of Toronto. Part guide-book, part music story collection, Rock and Roll Toronto is a compilation of 40 fresh, revealing tales of Toronto landmarks, intimately detailing the seminal rock and roll events that took place at each one. It reveals where Bob Dylan met the Band, where Margaret Trudeau entertained the Rolling Stones, and where Joni Mitchell struggled in poverty while pregnant with a daughter she later gave up for adoption. Also featured are more than 50 photographs chronicling the Toronto appearances of such legends as the Beatles, Nirvana, Madonna, Neil Young and Teenage Head.“
„Besprechung“: „Rock history has happened all over Hogtown – in houses, hotels, apartments, clubs, public buildings, laundromats and recording studios. Rock & Roll Toronto is part guidebook and part music history. It offers 40 tales of cool music moments that took place at various Toronto landmarks. Readers can learn about places where Bob Dylan met The Band, where Joni Mitchell struggled with poverty and pregnancy and where Margaret Trudeau gave the Rolling Stones her own personal welcome.„
