Mark had played lead solo on a single I co-wrote and later produced with me Doidge. and we released over there. Royalties. It bought the Fisher Price) farm...
He assembled the backup band for Tom soon after and was playing the Hockey Song at the HOF and Maple Leaf Gardens closing ceremonies. Glad he will be there. I doubt he'll recall that stint. Bit of a 'blur'!

Funny to hear that Larry Mercey of the Mercey Brothers was Toms buddy... I used to provide daycare - for his sons daughter back in 2003-2005...
(LaForme, 58, had been a fixture on the Hamilton music scene for some 20 years when Connors asked him to join his tour on the recommendation of Larry Mercey of the Canadian country group, The Mercey Brothers. LaForme put together a band for Connors that included Hamilton musicians Steve Petrie, Larry Murphy and Danny Lockwood.)
