'I started in this
business many moons ago fronting a band ,skipping high school on
Fridays with 4 or 5 others guys
crammed into a van to make a gig somewhere in Northern Ontario. Back
then we did it for the love of the music
(and to get girls). I am fortunate now to have a group of the best
players in this country and we still love to play whenever we get the
chance. My band mates now have played with the likes of Amanda
Marshall, Long John Baldry, Bruce Cockburn, David Clayton Thomas,
Sass
Jordan, Sisters Euclid, and Prairie Oyster,
to name a few'.

styles. He grew up in Burlington,
ON, so we have a lot of the same idols and influences that were
part of the Toronto sound.
Bernie is a very gifted songwriter and he has fronted numerous
bands over the years
...his latest
The Stickmen, are terrific. Bernie is also a very
snappy dresser. |

TOM GRIFFTHS: BASS
Tom Griffiths and I go back to high school together in
Brampton Ontario. Tommy was one of
the guys that I spent countless hours in Northern Ontario going
through blinding snowstorms
to make a gig at a high school that paid $100 if we were lucky.
Some of the bands we were in
were that I remember are The DM Groove, Bullrush, Blues Society. |
