’72: I did a duo with the guidance counsellor (who worked with me at Grand Centre High) which played the only lounge in town. We sang and played through my Fender Super Reverb. I was subsequently cased out and invited to a rehearsal with an existing trio.
’73: I got the gig and we became Four and I eventually switched from playing my acoustic with a mike in it to a new Gibson Es 335TD and singing lead vocals.
’74-75: We added a prominent female local singer and became Betty Plus Four, the best band in the area with many gigs in G.C., Cold Lake, CFB Cold Lake, and played Wainwright twice and CFB Namao.
