Oliver Klaus
Fresh out of the sleeve
with Ruth Schweitzer
a re-print from “The Record”
The first time I met Brian Blain was when I hitch-hiked with Glen Whitehead, a friend of mine, to Hamilton Ontario. “You have to meet this guy my sister knows”, said Whitehead, who knew I was trying to get ahead in the music business. “He works for an ad agency and has a lot of contacts.”
To me, Blain had it made. He drove around in a sports car, had a cool job and listened to all the latest music. He had me listen to Crosby, Stills and Nash’s debut” vinyl” album fresh-out-of-the-sleeve. Wow!
Over the years we became friends, and as I was busy trying to establish Oliver Klaus, he was advancing his career as a songwriter, performer and producer. Finally our careers merged when I invited him to join Oliver Klaus back in the mid-seventies.
Oliver Klaus: The Sounds of Silence
Maurice Oliver Klaus Singfield
a re-print from “The Record”
I grew up as a teenager in the 1960s, let my hair down and was dedicated to following the trends of the day. It’s amazing how music defined my generation, like all others before and after. I don’t know, but music seems to have a special way of reflecting the times.
Like an old piano, music betrays the secrets of time. A spindled leg from the early 1900s is much different from a new one, and the sound of music from the 20s is far different from the sounds of today. Memories cling to art like flies to sticky paper and our lives hang somewhere in time ready to be rediscovered and deciphered by new generations.

What gives us the right to live the way we do? The law. Some of us consider it to be a broken promise. Why? For the simple reason it can’t protect all of us all of the time and is influenced and administered by private interests.
“Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land,” said Albert Einstein, “than passing laws which cannot be enforced.”
“…Instead of checking crime, the law is guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish! If this is true,” states Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850), French economist, statesman, and author, “it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it.
