Within days of getting the call from Hot Cargo, I also got a call from Dennis Davies, a drummer who had formerly played with Fosterchild, Winnipeg's Bootleg and The Stamps (second generation of The Stampeders). He and Rod Partin, a keyboard/saxophone player, had a blues/R&B duo act called The Steamers that on occasion added a guitar player to the line-up. Ironically, David Knight, the guitarist I replaced in Hot Cargo, had also played with The Steamers in the early 90's. I joined Hot Cargo on a permanent basis and The Steamers on an interim basis as one of a revolving group of guitarists.
Wonderful Tonight
My
wife captured this performance with our camcorder on my
birthday in January, 1998 at a jam session at the
Highlander Hotel in Calgary.
