Wow, what a show! Total Recall 2017
We played around 35 of my favourite songs from the 80s, and
raised a good chunk of change for Ovarian Cancer Canada.
Lots of great musicians, and there were a lot of great
moments. “Copperhead Road” with Brad
Searl, “Let’s Dance” with Tommy Blacknine, and getting to pound out that
amazing “Under Pressure” bass riff while Tommy Blacknine and Darren James Smith
covered the Bowie/Mercury vocals… Of course I
couldn’t help but do that ‘Billy Idol snarl’ as we burned through “Rebel Yell.”
Lots of rehearsals, I lost most of August learning all those
tracks, but I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I hope I held down the groove well enough to
be invited back next time.
The house band, Karl Anderson (drums), John Jamieson (keys),
Aimee O’Connor (guitar), Stephen Varga (guitar), Shaylynn Anderson (sax), and
Eric Meloche (stage tech), did a fantastic job.
A dream band for sure!
