I have to agree that you guys have some awesome taste in music .I was a card carrying union sax player when I was in grade 8 at school ,I played in a big band at the time and whenever acts would come through town needing a player ,I would get the call and often tagged along for a few more dates .Because of this ,I played with dozens of acts ,some great ,some were just arseholes ,but it was a ton of fun for me .I have played with Bruce Cockburn ,Burton Cummings ,Randy Bachman ,Shania Twain (she lived here played several times with her ) ,Bobby Vinton ,The Stampeders ,Corey Hart ,and many many more ,but I really liked playing with Colin James the best because he was about my age at the time ( kids) and I stuck with him for 10 shows one summer .Anyways ,in the late 80’s ,I was in Montreal to see Colin who was playing with Stevie Ray Vaughn at the time .I met up with them and we jammed for several hours together .That guy can play ,yet he was very soft spoken .
I was offered two full ride scholarships for music ,including Berkeley in the states ,but my dad said I couldn’t go because music wasn’t a real job ( funny because I made $1500.00 for a 4 hour show very often in the early 80’s) so I did other things with my life and played only a handful of shows in the last 30 years .I have been missing playing and started practising again this winter ,hoping it will lead me on a few new adventures .
