Solar Fire Band

Started playing guitar at age 14 (1970).   Formed my first band 'Via Satellite' at 17 then 'Soundchaser' in 1976 with my brother Ed (also guitar) and Stan (TVRS bassist).   In 1979, after Ricky's band 'Heartbreaker' had broken up, Stan, Ricky, Sermond (Ricky's brother on drums), Dennis and I started a group called 'Alien'.   I also did a recording project with 'Parallel States'.  All original music with EP release in 1982 featured Susan (now with 'Front Page') on lead vocals.   Got married in 1986 and did not touch the guitar for 10 years.   One day in August, 1996, Patrick and Terry of 'Front Page' told me about a band looking for a guitarist. The band originally was called 'Connections'. Later was renamed 'Unknown Jerome'.   In 1997 'Reflection' asked me to fill in.  Two years later, 'Reflection' and 'Connections' joined up and formed '7th Avenue' and still playing, most notably at our annual private New Years Eve event at a hotel in Vancouver.   In 1998, joined the Top 40 band 'Night Shift' thru an ad in Georgia Strait and still playing with them.   In 2003, Victor, Stan, Rolf and I started TVRS.   Solar Fire happened around the end of 2006.  I currently have all four bands on the go.  Still rockin' and shakin'.
