"I mentioned John Cousineau a few posts up. Anyone got any info on him?"

John was the guy who taught me the basics of guitar. We had a trio called "The Triads" and we played rock a la Ventures. Did some gigs back then. John was the lead guitarist, Yves (John's brother) was the drummer and I was rhythm guitar. John was 15 and Yves and I were 12 ansd 13 respectively. We did some gigs and had lots of fun. I think John was about two years older than me and he later wrote a song that was recorded by Richie Havens entitled "Sandy" which was written for a dear friend of mine who is still living in Montreal. John is around but he looks lots younger than 63. Great guy and a wonderful friend. Haven't seen him since about 1970(?). If you can access Facebook he's on it.
