I remember September 1981 when, there was a new dude in the Crescent Heights High School band, playing a wicked bass. This guy was Gordie Johnson, just in from the Golden Horseshoe as I recall, two years older than me and set to graduate and disappear within a year.
Although he only spent a year or so there as I know, it must have had some impact on him. The last time I saw him wasat that school's music instructor's retirement ceremony/concert in 2003.
BTW
1) I've been playing in bands ever since.
2) Terri Clark went through that music program as well. Started when I was in Gr 12. I used to jam with her a lot. Gordie too.
The wikipedia article has it more or less correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine_Hat%2C_Alberta The line, used as BS's title, has been attributed to Rudyard Kipling.
I grew up there.
