i remember the following like it was yesterday...........sometime in 1986 i was trying to impress a new girl i had met.....i told her to get dressed up because we were going to have dinner at the Royal York hotel,,,,i picked her up in a rented Rolls Royce with a chauffeur,,,and part of the dinner was a concert headlining Chubby Checker featuring Gary US Bonds...they both performed their hits,,,it was an "oldies" show........one of the best nights of my life
Great guitarist with The Who, and loved to smash his guitar during live concerts which he became famous for.
she became my wife..........albeit for only a few years.............divorced... but got together as friends a few years ago after she became single after her husband passed
The Stones at Altamont 1969 (or don’t hire the Hell's Angels as your security force...)
He reminds me of an R & B singer and his band Wayne Cochrane and the C C Riders, who was also a white haired albino who used to appear on the old Jackie Gleason show. He had a terrific band of at least 10 or more mostly brass players in the mid 60s. He appeared in Toronto a few times at the Bellair Lounge on Bay and Bloor and also at the Infamous El Mocambo tavern on College Street where he would start his show coming out with a bottle of vodka and southern comfort pouring drinks to everyone while we would be standing on top of our tables with our empty glasses as instructed by him and being filled with booze and then listen to him and his band play some off the best blues rock music I ever heard. Those were definately great times. Any of you oldies remember him??
