CM DECEMBER 1980 - APRIL WINE
Topic: Canadian Musician Covers

I'm starting another new feature on the blog today, something I've been thinking of doing for quite awhile. I have a large collection of back issues of Canadian Musician magazine. They have some great covers of various Canadian artists/bands, including many of those whose songs I've tabbed for this website. Since a lot of people come to this site for the Canadian content, I thought maybe I'd start to scan and post some of those covers. I subscribed to CM in the 1980's, so I think all of the covers will be from that time. To save any of the covers to your own files, just click through to the full size image, then right click, and 'save as'. The issue pictured below is the first issue of CM I ever bought, December 1980 with Myles Goodwyn on the cover. More about Canadian Musician here: http://canadianmusician.com/
