Awesome gig opening for Little Feat at the Beer Festival in Toronto. They are still inspiring musicians after all this time. Thanks to Greg Henderson and Tony Crea who did such a smooth job backstage. We also ran into a bunch of old friends including Gerry Young and our ex-keyboard player Frank Fonteyn.
We knew that Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward had been ill for some time, and not traveling with the band, but we didn’t know how serious it was. Sadly, he passed just a few days later on August 12th. The same week we lost another friend, Wayne “The Flame” McQuaid, an Ottawa mainstay who at one point played with the late great Terry King.
