THE MUSIC OF RAM.....AND GUESTS...February 20th, 2009
The one and only..
TERRY McCARTHY
One of the most
incredible guitarists
around. Formerly of
"Terry & The Telstars"
fame many years ago.
He's played with numerous great
musicians, and he just so happens
to be Godfather to our
youngest son, Nate.
We love you "Uncle Terry!"
Paul Roy on Bass...one of the BEST!
He's been playing with Terry for many
years & he's a really great guy.
Here's Terry's lovely wife, Denise McCarthy
She's been singing with the band & having fun.
Love you too Denise ~
Dan LaCasse plays the harmonica better than anyone!
He's one heck of a musician!!!
He and his wife Cathy are so
much fun to be around.
Dan has really inspired my love of the blues. Norm & I have caught his radio show at Bates College many Saturday mornings.
Thanks for encouraging me to
belt it out Dan!
Here's a guy that needs no
introduction....
NICK KNOWLTON!!!!!
Vocalist extraordinaire, DJ, MC,
you name it and he's done it all!
Currently working on his second CD, not only is Nick a great musician, but he's also been a great friend for over 30 years. Norm and I are blessed to call him our very dear friend.
So here's "yours truly"
belting it out with
the boys in the band.
This is all Norm's
fault...it really is.
Once he found out I
could sing, he dragged
me out and pushed me
up on the stage (righttttt).
It was a treat to have Dan Caron come from Portland to jam with the band. Known as "DC", Danny played with many well-known bands over the years. He's been one of our closest friends & Norman's "brother" for many years.
Everyone loves you Dan!!
Another long-time friend who came to the jam session Friday night was our friend
Clyde Hodgkin.
Formerly of the group "Sawdust", Clyde spent many years entertaining people in the L-A area.
It's always a special
treat to see Clyde
& his wife Elise.
Don Gauthier, also from the group "Sawdust" is Norm and Butch's camping buddy up at Endless Lake when he's not jamming. Norm says that Don makes him laugh more than anyone else. He has a very creative wife, Mary. We will have to have a "workshop nite" real soon!
OK....
here's another one of Norm's "brothers",
Raymond "Butch" Tardif
He's one funny, crazy
guy, and we wouldn't want him
to change! An accomplished
musician, he plays a variety
of instruments. The drums seem
to be his instrument of choice. He also sings!!
Butch toured the world with the group "BOSTON" some years ago. We love ya Butchie!
The Guys"... Clyde, Nick, Dan, Ron, Norm
Norm and I have been blessed with some of the most wonderful friends through the years.
We never forget how important they are to us and our family. We actually have lots of
"bros". We love these guys!
Norm & Ron Bussiere
Ron was Best Man at our wedding 32 years ago!
May we share many more years of friendship.
