Jaimie Vernon has been a music business insider for decades serving as a musician, record company president & author among other things.
He has been described as a walking pop music encyclopedia & in fact, is the author of the "Canadian pop music encyclopedia".

The following is how this episode was described when it was originally published in 2021:
Jaimie Vernon makes a return visit to Tommy Solo's Famous Friends , this time to play rock & roll trivia with me. Jaimie is the president of Bullseye records & an authority on Canadian pop music history. He is currently writing a weekly blog, an extension of his former publication....Great White Noise.
In this episode, we discuss a random mix of Canadian bands & solo recording artists as I quiz Jaimie (who is also the author of the Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia) with random names.
He shares his knowledge of acts like Klaatu, Lee Aaron, April Wine, Frank Soda & a lot more including some more obscure yet awesome acts.
And then there was 1980, the summer of riots at rock shows in Toronto.....
This is a fun one!
