Happy New Year - this is an amazing cover version of Bobcaygeon recorded by Martin Tielli in 1998 before the Phantom Power album was released.

"One take ghetto blaster recording before the song was released. Old recording.
I knew they were good when I saw them open for Rush and Gord quoted Mary Margaret O'Hara.
With this song he hit THAT level. M2OH. I watched this song develop when we were touring with them.
Dundas Streetcar in there. Just thought Gord Downie wrote one of those perfect songs. Had to figure it out…” Martin Tielli
