The band was called “Crackers.” It’s a very old faded photo but in the front row far right playing the white Bass is a guy named Charley. On the far left playing a Gibson Les Paul that I’m pretty sure he still has to this day is Gord. In the middle with the long hair clapping while singing...that’s me...I was the lead singer and didn’t play an instrument in that band. On rhyme guitar was Ernie Larochelle but he’s not seen in the photo. By Wayne Forseth
