Didn't

he ever? He was having the time of his life.

And so was...

So was Gil.

Everybody was having the time of their life.

They went out really big.

They went out with a very large show.

Yeah, I think, you know, they're going to be surprised because like you said, from the other songs you've been playing this year, they're probably going to recognize a lot of those songs where they maybe didn't think of for years and they're going to bring back great memories.

But, uh, you guys getting together, man, that must be just a blast.

It really is.

We've known each other a long time, so it's nice to be...

And even the guys in the road crews, you know, they know each other, too, so it's like one big family going across the country in buses.

Uh, every day is fun.

It's just say, "Hi, hi, hi." And we get home, you miss it all.

But no, it's, it's, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah

um so uh tell us a little bit about you were the band was a two guitar band before you joined so as you mentioned you brought in a third guitar you sing lead vocals uh what how did that alter the songwriting process bringing in an additional weapon like yourself who's talented on multiple instruments

you know i hadn't really thought about it being a three guitar band uh was different than a lot of other bands back then, or up to that point.

But three guitars gave us a whole host of opportunities on stage, options of really representing the album, like we did in the studio, doubling, tripling, one guitar playing just the verse, two guitars coming in for the chorus, just giving it more weight.

You know how you double something, it fills it up, it sounds chorusing, you triple it, it sounds more smoother.

uh...

in the studio and live uh... i'm not a friend listening to us but uh...

i guess that's how it works you know sound is sound uh... writing wise it was miles that was right in the songs and that he would bring them in the basic format the foundation of the song and we would uh... then put our heart offerings into it with solos.

How do you reconcile moving forward without the voice of April Wine? Yeah, tell us a little bit
