Rick,

I know that MJH died in the sixties, but I was born in '59. I would have loved to have seen him, Son House, Jimi Hendrix and a number of others, but I really wasn't of concert going age when they died.

A few more, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Roy Buchanan. I almost went to SRV's last appearance here as I really liked him, although I wasn't of the Stevie is God school. He was touring with Jeff Beck who is my favourite electric player. They were playing at the Skydome, I'd been to one show there and said I'd never go to another as the sound was awful.

Buchanan played a number of times in Toronto but I just never got around to seeing him.

Oh yeah, how about this one? I was still in High School, a buddy of mine asked if I wanted to go see April Wine at the El Mocombo. I'd seen them a few times and wasn't that interested in seeing them again. The next day the front page of the paper showed a picture of The Rolling Stones playing at the ElMo. They were recording Love You Live, they kept it such a secret that until Mick and Keefe walked on stage the audience thought they were going to see April Wine. I still haven't quite got over that one.
