Second in a collection of Music Life Journal interviews with 2025 Inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame. The Legends Induction Ceremony takes place Friday, Oct. 17, on the Lyric Theatre within the Meridian Arts Centre in downtown Toronto.
By Jim Barber
Within the newest of a collection of well-deserved accolades, the members of Triumph – Rik Emmet, Gil Moore and Mike Levine – are being inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame as a part of a ceremony that additionally consists of fellow inductees Ian Thomas, Andy Kim, Jane Siberry and Gino Vannelli.
This newest honour follows within the footsteps of the band’s elevation into the Canadian Music Corridor of Fame, the Juno Corridor of Fame, Canada’s Stroll of Fame and extra! The band, which grew to become legendary for his or her highly effective and bombastic reside reveals, together with performances at among the largest festivals in North America (The US Pageant, Texas World Music Pageant, The World Sequence of Rock) in addition to for his or her superlative musicianship and effervescently uplifting, empowering and energizing compositions, helped solidify Canada as a rock music powerhouse, and regardless that the band has solely performed two full reveals and made a few quick reside appearances lately, their music continues to be a mainstay on most rock radio platforms, and is even getting used to pump up sports activities followers earlier than necessary televised video games in 2025.
It’s a legacy that isn’t simply in regards to the previous, but in addition in regards to the current, in addition to an intriguing future – however extra about that later.
The thought of what would turn into iconic Canadian rock music energy trio Triumph sprung forth within the fertile thoughts of drummer/vocalist/songwriter Gil Moore and bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine. Though nonetheless fairly younger, each had been veterans of the Toronto music scene of the early Nineteen Seventies, with not solely years of reside present expertise, but in addition a great deal of expertise working the ins and outs of the enterprise facet of the music enterprise in addition to growing an acumen for the technical facet of recording studios and reside manufacturing.
“They had been attempting to place a band collectively they usually noticed me play in a bar band referred to as Act Three on the Hollywood Tavern in Etobicoke, Ontario in the summertime of 1975. And, in response to legend. Levine leaned over to Gil and stated, ‘that is the man.’ They’d been searching for a frontman, guitar participant, singer type of man that might write songs and stuff. And so they had a document cope with Attic Data. Mike had connections to Tommy Williams and Al Mair of Attic, in order that’s the way it began. We had a type of trial in Gil’s basement the place we acquired to play with one another, after which we sat round and talked and yeah, I gave Act Three my discover and began with Triumph in September of 1975,” Emmett stated.
“And it’s not like every part clicked immediately. It’s a course of. You click on in small methods and that’s the way you see a future collectively. No person had a pot to piss in on the time, so that you’re all prepared to make compromises and collaborate with the intention to attempt to get issues off the bottom. And it’s all an journey – there’s pleasure and vitality and ambition. All of these issues had been shared, so there was plenty of clicking. I assumed they had been so sensible and so educated and so good, as a result of I used to be only a bar band musician, and a jobbing musician. These guys had a imaginative and prescient that was far more formidable than that, they usually had been extra skilled. I imply, Gil Moore knew about financial institution loans and knew about how one can wire a P.A. collectively. I bear in mind pondering, okay, there’s quite a bit I can be taught right here. So I used to be clicking from the get-go. Artistically and creatively there was a factor the place I type of needed to, proper from the start, get them to focus extra on the music and their devices. They’d chops, it was only a query of dedicating extra time and vitality to them. That was an uphill battle, however I believe by the Only a Sport album, which got here out in 1979, that was when, three years in, the place I used to be asserting myself and saying, ‘right here’s some songs that I’ve written that I believe we must always document. And right here’s the way in which I wish to document them.’ So I used to be taking among the reins away from Mike as producer and arranger, as a result of I felt like I used to be actually beginning to be taught issues as an artist and that’s, I believe, when the band actually began to determine it out.
“And the method unfolds over time and it modifications over time. If you begin out, everyone’s kind of prepared to collaborate and compromise with the intention to make all of it occur. After which after you’ve been at it for some time, like in Triumph’s case, after a decade there’s tons and plenty of cash and there’s enterprise and there’s partnership issues and there’s a studio [Metalworks] and there’s all of these things now, there’s manufacturing firms and there’s warehouses which have lease each month and truck drivers you already know. By then it’s now not about youngsters within the basement with a dream of being in a rock band.”
However alongside the way in which, by means of 9 studio albums, beginning with their self-titled debut in 1976, adopted by Rock and Roll Machine, then the aforementioned Simply A Sport, Eighties Progressions of Energy, the band’s breakout Allied Forces album in 1981, By no means Give up in 1982, Thunder Seven two years later, adopted by Sport of Kings and the band’s final album with Emmett, Surveillance in 1987, Triumph carved out a fame for the highly effective, uplifting nature of their songs, their good musicianship and for arguably having essentially the most incendiary, intense and big stage present exterior of Queen, wherever on this planet.
Songs corresponding to ‘Maintain On,’ ‘Lay It on the Line,’ ‘Magic Energy,’ ‘Battle The Good Battle,’ ‘By no means Give up,’ ‘Observe Your Coronary heart,’ ‘Anyone’s Out There,’ and ‘Rock and Roll Machine,’ proceed to be staples on basic rock radio, and are additionally being uncovered to a brand new technology of followers with them getting used as opening teasers for each NHL hockey and The Toronto Blue Jays. Subsequently it is sensible, in an article about songwriting being honoured, to speak slightly about how a few of these basic Triumph compositions got here to life.
“The way in which it was imagined that it might be structured was that Gil was going to be bringing half the songs and I used to be going to be bringing half the songs. And that’s kind of the way in which it performed out. After which the band would sit in pre-production rehearsals and organize issues with Mike kind of being the overseeing producer type of man that will be making ideas about trimming this half down, let’s get to the refrain faster, that type of stuff. As time performed out, Gil and Mike ended up spending an increasing number of time advertising and marketing the band and selling the band and managing the band and manufacturing and all of the hundreds of thousands of issues that need to be executed. So I’d be coming all the way down to rehearsal and I’d have 10 songs and Gil would have a few concepts on his Dictaphone that had been 1 / 4 of a tune, half a tune, and we’d work them up. It reached a degree after we acquired to the Thunder Seven album and the pondering was, okay let’s attempt to collaborate a bit extra. Let’s sit collectively like within the previous days and attempt to write songs collectively. In order that album had slightly bit extra of that backwards and forwards between Gil and I and Mike coming in once more kind of on the finish to assist put preparations collectively and get them able to document.”
Triumph’s music was at all times set other than a lot of what was taking place in arduous and heavy rock all through the late Nineteen Seventies and Eighties in that it wasn’t about outright hedonism, nor was it darkish and gloomy. It was intentionally empowering and highly effective and was an energizing musical presence on radio which translated into inescapably fantastic live performance experiences.
“That’s what I used to be saying round 1978, after I was writing ‘Lay It on the Line’ and ‘Maintain On’ That was me saying, ‘the band known as Triumph. Effectively, why aren’t we about that. Why isn’t that what we’re kind of hanging our hats on.’ And the place did that come from? I used to be a child who sang in choirs; after I was seven and eight years previous, I sang in church and faculty choirs. So I used to be round the entire thought of the anthem and the way all of them carry folks collectively. And likewise choruses ought to have one thing the place there’s a chorus that makes everyone wish to sing. One of many first albums I ever purchased was a Bob Dylan document, and Bob Dylan had these of us songs that had the identical sorts of qualities the place it has to reach at a chorus, like ‘the reply, my pal, is blowing within the wind,’ and by the point you’re doing the third refrain you don’t even need to sing it anymore as a result of the entire viewers within the espresso home goes to be singing it again to you. That concept is as previous as songs, when troubadours had been singing and telling tales of what was occurring at court docket for the frequent folks within the market,” Emmett stated.
“In Triumph, I believe that was me saying to the fellows, come on, let’s do that. So then it grew to become the place I used to be just about at all times attempting to write down songs that will perform alongside that line. And naturally by the point we acquired to ‘Magic Energy’ I type of found out how to have the ability to do it in a means that was, you already know, very efficient. And it wasn’t like I used to be doing it as a result of it wasn’t a pure, natural type of songwriting course of for me. That is what I wished to have the ability to say. Like, when you’ve been up on stage in entrance of 10,000, 12,000 folks they usually’re all banging their heads they usually’re all thrusting their Bic lighters into the air, you begin pondering, okay, how a lot do I need this to be like Communion and the way a lot of this do I wish to be like a Nuremburg Rally. I believe I wish to lean extra in the direction of Communion you already know, in order that’s a aware factor, that’s a premeditated variety o factor. However on the identical time, it was fairly natural coming proper out of my genetic construction.”
‘Maintain On’ as Emmett has said, epitomized that positivity, that collective sense that not solely are all of us on this world collectively, however that we are supposed to be completely happy, meant to attempt, meant to persevere. And it led to the long-lasting songs of empowerment which have turn into ingrained on the psyche of hundreds of thousands of followers around the globe … in addition to serving to keep Triumph’s standing as Canadian rock and roll royalty.
“With ‘Maintain On’ it isn’t a lot a mishmash of concepts coming collectively because it was being like what the Seaside Boys did. I imply, who didn’t love the Seaside Boys, proper? When Brian Wilson was writing issues like ‘Good Vibrations’ he had a imaginative and prescient of creating it like a symphony, however he was going to make it occur over two and a half or three minutes. There have been all of those nice musical issues that occurred in a really quick time period. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Good,’ was like that. There are such a lot of of his tunes that had a symphonic type of creativeness at work. That was one of many issues with ‘Maintain On’ the place I used to be pondering, okay, I’ve acquired this poem that I wrote in highschool that was saying ‘music holds the key.’ So we’re speaking about music. The place can we go from right here? As a author sitting alone in my room, I got here up with the entire thought of the association. That is the way it’s going to develop. Type of like how Jimmy Web page had executed ‘Stairway to Heaven’ the place it went from being type of a folky little ballad after which picked up steam. And the guitar solo on the finish continues to be superb, and FM radio on the time was completely into this concept of songs beginning delicate and constructing it up – flip it right into a symphony. I even wrote a type of disco breakdown a part of it. The disco factor was like, I can’t bear in mind what number of bars it was however I stated to Gil simply play on this high-hat and I’ll play guitar over it. It was like, 32 bars or 64 bars or no matter. And by that point I used to be assured sufficient within the studio the place I might say if it’s too lengthy, nicely we will lower the tape. Like, I’d by no means lower tape earlier than, however I’d seen it executed and now I knew, oh, okay you may even rearrange issues by chopping the two-inch grasp.”
Then we come to ‘Magic Energy,’ which, exposing bias right here, is the author of this text’s favorite tune – ever!
“I wrote a folks tune, sitting at residence. And I in all probability was leaning an terrible lot on the truth that after I was a child in highschool, we’d play The Who’s Who’s Subsequent album quite a bit. So ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ and “Gained’t Get Fooled Once more’ and ‘Baba O’Reilly’ and all that stuff. ‘Magic Energy’ was type of a tune the place I used to be pondering, okay, The Who was primarily an influence trio with a singer up entrance. Let’s see if I can write one thing that’ll work the way in which Pete Townsend makes songs work. I believe after I initially wrote it, I added the half the place it says, ‘she climbs into mattress and pulls the covers over her head,’ but it surely wasn’t a she, it was me. It’s what I used to do after I was a child. I used to have a transistor radio and go to mattress and hearken to the radio, which I believe was one of many formative issues about making me assume that, yeah, turn into a musician, that will be a extremely cool factor. You will get on the radio,” Emmett defined.
“In fact for those who write a tune about being any individual that has this magic energy of getting songs on the radio, radio itself goes to go, ‘isn’t that a terrific factor! That is what we do.’ And pay attention, I’m not going to faux that was an accident. And if you concentrate on it, on the identical time, kind of, Rush had ‘Spirit of Radio’ and there was plenty of that occurring the place everyone was attempting to determine how do you get on the radio once more? How do you make this occur?”
Whereas Triumph was recognized for, and this text is speaking quite a bit about, sure songs that helped elevate them to a sure degree of acclaim, reputation and industrial success, at their core, Emmett, Levine and Moore created albums – full albums that had an inside construction, dynamism and emotional connective tissue that made them greater than only a sum of their components.
“There have been at all times just a few tracks on every album the place you already know they’re going to be the main target tracks. Particularly if you end up taking a look at which one would be the one we make the video for, for MTV and later MuchMusic. However we at all times considered Triumph as an album band. And consequently there can be songs that there can be no level in taking part in them reside as a result of a certain quantity of persons are shopping for the tickets as a result of they wish to hear the hit songs as a result of they’ve been following you for 5 or 10 years. They wish to hear these huge songs. That’s why they got here to the present. And if you play the primary couple of bars of it and the viewers goes, ‘yeah, that’s what I paid my cash for. Nice!’ You’re going to try this tune, and that’s a fantastic little piece of vitality to get if you’re up on stage. However there are different songs that we didn’t play reside, however I nonetheless assume are nice songs, or a minimum of the expertise behind them was superb,” Emmett stated.
“And instance of that will be the final album that Triumph did after I was within the band [Surveillance]. It was not very commercially profitable and type of got here and went unnoticed. However on the time, I had Steve Morse [Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple, Kansas, Steve Morse Band] up and I’d written a tune referred to as ‘Carry On the Flame’ which I assumed had some darkness in it. It has some actual variety hipness too in the way in which it was organized. It was type of prog and was all of this stuff that I’ve been speaking about, the symphonic type of factor. And naturally it went utterly unnoticed. Nobody ever asks me about it or talks about it. However I used to be fairly happy with it. And as I stated, Morse was on the town and we did a co-write. The tune had an intro factor referred to as ‘All The King’s Horses’ which Morse and I wrote in a day sitting on the studio ground at Metalworks. And it was one of many biggest moments of my profession. After I look again at it, I believe, what a spotlight that was to be writing with a man of that talent degree and that have. He performed in Kansas and he performed in Dixie Dregs and he performed with extremely nice musicians all around the world. And right here he was, sitting 5 toes from me and we’re taking part in acoustic guitars collectively, writing a tune. And I bear in mind pondering, ‘how nice is that this! That is all I ever wished out of my life and my profession,’ and but it went completely unnoticed by the remainder of the world.”
At a sure degree of success, and Triumph was at a spot by means of the primary half of the Eighties that few Canadian bands/artists exterior of Rush and Bryan Adams had attained, exterior strain turns into extra intense than the within strain to simply get higher as songwriters. It’s the age-old dilemma, the tug of conflict between artwork and commerce that plagues each creator from visible artists to novelists, to screenplay writers and musicians. Navigating it may be treacherous and is usually the first purpose why bands break up. The proverbial ‘creative variations’ are sometimes on account of that dichotomy of pursuits between making good music and making well-liked music, turn into first a crack, then a rift, then a chasm.
“Round that point the enterprise was altering. You wanted to kind of be on MTV and also you wanted to have songs that will cross over and be energy ballads on AM radio. So there was strain that didn’t simply come from the document firm, it got here from the world usually, what was being profitable on the market now and also you say to your self, ‘proper, now we have to compete.’ I imply it’s a First World drawback. There are, and have been, artists who do a fairly good job of claiming, ‘I can do that.’ Like David Bowie, he might at all times make actually attention-grabbing music. When you’re speaking to a comic, a comic would say, it simply boils all the way down to this: are you humorous? Simply be humorous. Simply do what’s humorous. And I believe for musicians and songwriters, it’s actually, simply be attention-grabbing. Simply be actually good. Simply work out the way you’re going to seize folks’s creativeness. That’s what it’s a must to do. Your work is to try this, and the opposite stuff is a part of it, I suppose. David Lee Roth as soon as stated the music enterprise boils all the way down to haircuts and sneakers, and it’s a fairly good shortcut of a saying. In fact model goes to play into it. Trend goes to play into it. Cultural memes are going to play into it. There are all of these issues and you then’re additionally pondering, ‘what’s radio taking part in now?’” he stated.
“There are at all times these conversations and you’ll’t be 100 per cent shutting it out. You possibly can’t ignore the world. However you do have to have the ability to sit down together with your instrument and your mind and work out the way you’re going to seize the general public’s creativeness. What are you going to say and the way are you going to border it in order that it’s attention-grabbing? It’s no totally different than if you’re writing an article. You’re going to resolve what the lede is and what’s related and attention-grabbing for the reader. That is the way in which issues work. There’s going to be a certain quantity of formulation there as a result of human nature actually doesn’t change all that a lot. You wish to be hip. You wish to be cool. So that you’re going to need to take a few of that into consideration. We had been speaking about greed and other people desirous to mine the previous as a result of in reality, there are actually, actually high-quality issues that even new generations will discover attention-grabbing. You will have ‘Lay It on the Line’ performed throughout the hockey playoffs and you then’ve acquired nine-year-old youngsters utilizing Shazam wanting to search out that tune. There’s gotta be one thing in that tune that’s in a position to converse exterior of it’s personal time. So there should be one thing attention-grabbing about that, no matter it’s that we did, that’s making that phenomena occur. There’s gotta be one thing in that tune that’s in a position to converse exterior of it’s personal time. There should be one thing attention-grabbing about that, no matter it’s that we did, that’s making that phenomena occur.”
Whereas the opposite 2025 Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame inductees are nonetheless writing, recording and performing to various levels, Triumph as an entity has not launched new materials since their Emmett-less 1993 album Fringe of Extra, which featured present Bon Jovi axe-slinger and Canadian guitar icon Phil X in his stead. However after a busy few years which noticed the band inducted into numerous halls of fame, releasing a well-regarded documentary (Triumph: Rock and Roll Machine, 2021) performing a brief set at a fan occasion in 2019) and performing a brief set earlier than a playoff hockey recreation within the spring of 2025 (minus Levine), and much more just lately the discharge of a tribute album, not solely is there a resurgent curiosity within the band from followers and the music trade as an entire, but it surely additionally appears to have reenergized Gil Moore specifically.
Moore is the visionary of the band, the driving pressure who began Triumph greater than 50 years in the past and whose acumen for the enterprise, his tireless efforts to make the band into the epic reside phenomena that they grew to become, and who continually pushed for larger and higher issues for the band. As talked about in a earlier interview with Moore in Music Dwell Journal (https://www.musiclifemagazine.web/the-stars-come-out-to-honour-triumph-on-new-tribute-album/), plans are underway for what has been dubbed, a minimum of as a placeholder, Triumph 2.0 – a mixture of reside efficiency, excessive tech avatars and extra.
“I do know that the most recent replace I may give you is that there’s a man named Jason Murray from Vector Administration dealing with the band. Gil used to handle it, however he’s partnered with Vector, who deal with issues like Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd and others. He’s a Canadian man however he’s kind of worldwide and he additionally manages bands like The Wonderful Sons, Our Woman Peace, totally different acts like that. So, he’s very closely related into the world of Dwell Nation. There’s a lot taking place as of late. I simply noticed a assume the opposite day in, I believe it was Forbes Journal, or some kind of enterprise finance factor, ranking the truth that the music enterprise is forecasting huge progress within the subsequent couple of years. And the projections should not primarily based on the gross sales of recordings or what we historically consider because the music enterprise, however the truth that the reside factor is exploding. I imply, you’ve acquired Rush asserting they’re going again out they usually’re going to tour with a brand new drummer. So that they’ve added youth and are re-energizing themselves. So, it doesn’t appear to be a lot of a stretch to me that Triumph would now experience these sorts of issues. Anyone’s going to return alongside and say, ‘okay, right here’s the deal,’” Emmett stated.
“Now, do I believe Mike Levine goes to have the ability to tour and strap on the bass and play stuff. I doubt it. So that is the place the entire animated, hologram, 3-D stuff enters into it. And Jason was telling me a narrative about going to The Sphere in Las Vegas and seeing John Mayer taking part in Grateful Lifeless stuff with some Grateful Lifeless folks. And naturally folks like Jerry Garcia have handed away, however he stated it’s actually nice the way in which they combine footage of Jerry taking part in. And I simply noticed a clip the opposite day on Instagram of Brian Could sitting and plunking away on a 12-string acoustic after which seems to be as much as the large display screen and right here comes Freddie Mercury to sing ‘Love of My Life.’ So there’s a means that you would be able to now use know-how to combine from the previous to the current. So, you already know, that is the long run, and we’re residing in it.”
In fact this despatched the interview off down the rabbit gap of inspecting the great and unhealthy of know-how, particularly how AI could turn into used not simply to enhance musical artists – however maybe change them. Whereas Triumph as a band could or not me making new music, Emmett positively is … and has by no means stopped.
“I’m fairly positive that everyone you’ve talked to whose going into the Songwriting Corridor of Fame can be leery of something that’s not kind of organically honouring the historical past of the songwriting course of. I do assume know-how has created a world the place there’s much more of the, let’s use the phrase mash-up to explain the concept of taking concepts from totally different types and totally different genres and totally different applied sciences after which having the ability to create one thing new. I’m all for that. I believe that’s incredible. Once we talked in regards to the Ten Telecaster Tales album that I did [https://www.musiclifemagazine.net/digging-deep-into-the-heart-and-mind-of-an-artist-rik-emmetts-ten-telecaster-tales/] the entire thought of recording straight off the ground, clear as a whistle, after which going into the field and saying, okay let’s see what we will do with the entire plug-ins that exist for common audio and so forth. and so forth. There’s an infinite palate of technological colors that you would be able to apply, and I’m cool with that. I’m not cool with AI producing the unique content material,” he stated.
“Like, I’ve acquired 11 songs within the can proper now, they usually’re folks songs in that I can it down with a guitar and I could make these songs occur. And that could be the way in which that I ultimately understand them as quote, unquote, product. You’ve acquired to show it into one thing that individuals can hearken to and entry on their telephones and click on on of their laptop. Ever since they invented the wax cylinders again on the flip of the 20th century know-how is the way in which music will get delivered and distributed. That’s not going to vary. And it’s a must to be comfy with that as a creator as a result of that’s how you finally kind of generate profits. However having stated that, I’m not eager on having know-how be the factor. There’s this entire factor, too, of artwork being one thing that has to have a type of moral morality at work to ensure that it to take care of its integrity. I believe that’s essential. I’d hate to assume that what the world would find yourself being is a spot the place we’re simply going to maintain re-synthesizing and utilizing know-how to do issues with stuff that got here earlier than. I believe that each succeeding technology has a accountability to be chasing the music and attempting to make artwork occur. So the concept of regenerating one thing for its personal sake, that’s simply due to the cash. Anyone someplace is grasping and that doesn’t curiosity me very a lot.”
Returning to one thing extra natural, extra actual and extra enjoyable, Emmett stated he cherished the chance to play just a few Triumph songs reside with Moore, and an assemblage of all-star Canadian rockers within the out of doors live performance earlier than one of many Stanley Cup Closing video games in Edmonton earlier this 12 months. It was additionally a cool expertise for die-hard Triumph followers in that they acquired to see Emmett share the stage, and share licks, with Phil X, who changed Emmett within the band for a short while, together with recording the band’s ultimate studio album, Fringe of Extra.
“It was a enjoyable journey. It was superb. It was nice. And you already know, Phil X is a loopy rock and roll dude. He’s about as California rock as you may type of get, for a Toronto Greek man. And I actually loved being round him and taking part in with him. It was nice. And, you already know, Gil was type of struggling however we had one other drummer there [Brent Fitz] so it didn’t matter. I instructed him he didn’t need to kick the bass drum tremendous arduous or no matter, the opposite man’s taking part in too, so simply have enjoyable. Level at me together with your drumsticks now and again. So he did, and we had been laughing and it was actually type of cool. It was an journey, you already know,” he stated.
“I acquired to satisfy Todd Kerns [Age of Electric, Slash, Toque] and Brent Fitz and I assumed these guys are superior. These guys are execs, 100 per cent professionals and it was simply pure pleasure up there. It should have been the sensation you’d have for those who’re sitting in with Benny Goodman’s band and any individual will get Charlie Christian up on the bandstand and the opposite musicians are going, ‘wow, that is superior.’ I assumed, wouldn’t it have been good if my profession had had slightly bit extra of this taking place. So it was good. It was a extremely candy feeling. And that’s why I believe it’s nice that Alex and Geddy are going again on the street. I believe it’s 100 per cent incredible, unbelievable, fantastic. I like seeing them collectively. I do know Alex, however I don’t know Geddy in any respect. I’ve hung out round Alex and he’s a personality. He’s an actual artist and a little bit of a wild card type of man, but in addition very smarty, very proficient – actually good. And the drummer they’ve picked [Anika Niles] holy shit, she’s superb. So it’s going to be nice and it’s going to be a lot enjoyable.”
What also needs to be plenty of enjoyable is the chance for Emmett, his bandmates Levine and Moore, to not solely share the highlight, but in addition share the chance to swap tales, kibbitz, catch up and share just a few laughs with their fellow inductees on the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame Legends induction occasion, this Friday, Oct. 17 on the Lyric Theatre within the Meridian Arts Centre in downtown Toronto.
