So……..picture this; I was 21 years old and had been playing in home town bands since I was 14. I was invited to join my big brother Dave's new group “The New Feeling”, a real professional show band. We left for our first gig in Kirkland Lake Ontario. We removed the seats from his 68 Fury and I had to sit in the back on the record player squashed between the leslie speaker cabinet and the door. The car was so full of equipment there was no room at all. I was so stiff when we arrived 6.5 hrs later, I could hardly stand up. When we started playing our first set, the adrenaline kicked in and all was fine. For the next 6 months or so, this was how I travelled with the group.
