I have to laugh. All this talk about Terry and Rick and not one word about the guy who keeps the beat going. He's a great guy too. Soft spoken and a tremendous musician. Been sitting in the back for too long to go unnoticed, don't you think?

Without a doubt ! I've always admired his drumming style. His sence of timing is tremendous. Sometimes it's not so much when, he hits a drum, but more so when he doesn't !!!

Yes! Excellent point. The hardest thing for a musician to play is nothing. The guy that can hold back when that is what's called for is very good indeed. Didn't mean to overlook Barry - I date back to Gordon's pre-drums days - just an oversight...

Um just a small correction Barry's last name is spelled Keane. Yes Barry is one of the better drummers around, he not only plays for Gord but countless others, Anne Murray, Murray McLaughlin, Roger Whittaker among many others. Gotta be hard to sit on stage every night not doing much cuz 80% of Gord's songs don't involve drums. Having seen the band in concert many times and hearing the old LP's before CD I had no idea Barry was doing something on those recordings even tho you couldn't hear it. The thing that got me was that on the Wreck Barry was hitting the Hi Hat though on the CD it's barely noticeable....
