Gary Lee February 24, 2008


Today's Victoria Rock & Roll Music Hall Of Fame 2008 nominee is Gary Lee (LeMarquand) jumping from the train. Our thanks to Art Demeulles who forwarded some old recordings to us from Gary's wife Lorraine. The latest recording was made at a band rehearsal in the fall of 1967. BTW, have you filled out your Hall Of Fame ballot yet?

Todays audio addition: V.I. Crumpets (Gary Lee's Original)

The clock is ticking so don't forget to order your Bobby Faulds and The Strangers/Canadian Strangers DVD with 2 hours of complete documentary footage, outakes during the shoots, and many many other items never before seen on the website.

And don't miss out on this party. Just because everyone had such a blast at last years Hall Of Fame induction, "Lightning" Len Siemens and Ernie Neiderer have taken it upon themselves to organize a "HOF Night Out" on Saturday April 5. That's right, no pomp and circumstance, just a fun evening with music and old friends. Cruel Shoes Rockin Blues Band will be our host(s) with the "Who's Who" of local music legends making appearances throughout the night. There will be door prizes, a silent auction and more fun than we should be allowed. If you've been inducted into the HOF, you and a guest are absolutely FREE. If not, it's the best $10. a head you'll ever spend this year. In fact, why not call up your old band mates and get a table together. Order your tickets today by e mailing [email protected] with the heading "Tickets" so you won't be left out of the fun. Proceeds from this event benefit "Victoria's Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame".
