Day 17 Finished the day with John Donnelly of Saskatchewan's Queen City Kids. Still kicking since 1969. From opening for Rush back in the early 80s and touring the Prairies with Ozzy Osborne they had big hits in Canada's Heartland. Still Rocking and Rolling!

Day 17 Next up was Pat Steward. Pat is the drummer for Bryan Adams. Yes, that's him on the giant hits like Run to You and Summer of '69 etc and has been in the Who's Who of Vancouver bands like The Odds and Colin James. It was a great long interview at the Bryan Adams Recording Studio The Warehouse in Gastown, Vancouver. Beautiful studio!
