The Magic Cycle

Significantly less than a yr after forming in 1966, the Magic Routine recorded “Let’s TRY TO ESCAPE,” a Canadian strike for the Toronto-based music group. The initial lineup contains Paul Clinch (tempo acoustic guitar, vocals), Stan Theriault (business lead acoustic guitar, vocals), Pete Adolescent (acoustic guitar), Joey Rome (bass, vocals) and Kevin Barry (drums, vocals). Organist Peter Goodale was added in 1970, the same yr the band transformed their name towards the Routine. Sunday Afternoon Rummage Sale premiered in 1970, Magic Music in 1973. With different lineup adjustments, the Routine became Choya in 1976.
