We were like the Jackson’s with less weirdness. Myself, well, I sang in the band from the time that I was 5-years-old until I was 12. Sometimes my brother Matt would come to play bass for shows when he was not playing with another band. I was given a real musical gift coming into this world as I was actually born into a country music band called ‘The Roadrunners’ that involved my whole family. Since long before my own existence, my father was the most famous music man of the countryside. One was country music (“This is Nine-Eighty, CKRM!”) and the other one was country music (“Coun-try Eight-Hun-dreeeeed!”). There were two radio stations that I could listen to in fields. Starting in my early youth, I spent many many long hours and days in our farm machinery, working the land. Where I grew up in this world on a farm/cattle ranch 10 km from a small town called Big Beaver, we had AM radios in our tractors.

I guess a better way to say is it that I did not find rock and roll until I was 21. That is not quite accurate, but it is kind of the truth (sure I had heard of AC/DC and sure I had heard the Proclaimers at high-school dances). To describe my life growing up, stretching it just a little, I often tell people that I did not hear rock and roll until I was 21. It is so unconventional in comparison to anyone else I have met in my travels that it makes my situation very unique. I am super proud to be from Big Beaver, Saskatchewan, Canada, population 55. It would be difficult for me to have come from a cooler life and cooler place in the world. I wish I had learned two languages growing up….
