Great memories. I would have been cruising North Front Street in Belleville. I also find it interesting to see which Canadian bands made it south. In Canada we have Canadian content rules for radio so it isn't always easy to know what went through the USA - especially in pre interwebnet days.
BTW does it seem like there are more instruments in the soundtrack than in the band - like a mandolin (ukulele?) and a lead guitarist?
Finally. 'she feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons' ah for the time of simpler lyrics.
