John "Wally Watson"...........
Sometime in the 70's, Doug came up to me in Jerry's Cove Bar and said, "So I hear you play drums." We started rehearsing in the den of my communal house, eventually playing as early incarnations of the Slugs. I took a year off to make some dough - playing with Blue Northern. When I returned we started playing the clubs, doing the theme nights. I beat those drums on all those long tours and those gold albums. A great way to spend your 20's and half your 30's.
Now I've got a production service company, Octopus Inc., working in the BC film business. I guess I did a reverse Elvis - starting out playing music and ending up driving a truck. The drums are set up in the livingroom - I've played a bit here and there and am working on a soon-to-be gigging weekend band. It's a pleasure.
