The Perception of Johnny Punter :

Montréal Spectrum 1997.

I saw that show too! The record company executives in the audience were not amused!

Yeah, the big man was really upset that his latest record (sunsets) was nowhere to be found in the shops and, as always, he spoke his mind about it...allright with me. The crowd response was terrific to the new stuff, great, great concert!

Me and my daughter Torry

You know what, I'm going to add a picture of me playing a country gig last year:

I'm the guy in the red shirt and black jacket. While country isn't my favorite type of music, it got me onto the biggest stage of my career. We were just the first opening band at a concert, but still, the stage was huge (this is only half of it). During the sound check the guy kept asking me what I wanted in my monitor. . . I don't think I've ever had a choice before. I tested the boards out and it was so loud that they echoed off of a bridge full of rush hour traffic at least a quarter mile away.

Anyways, posted it in the 'do you play an instrument' thread and wanted to share here as well.

Great picture, and what a great opportunity to play a big stage like that!

Thanks Steve, it was a lot of fun. It was kind of fun to just be a player in a country band. I wasn't passionate about the music, but passionate about playing in front of people, and that made the day.

My old childhood games thread was locked so I'll just post this here. Me and my big brother at Christmas 1972. Rock em Sock em robots were all the rage LOL

I read you had these in Britain too but they were called Raving Bonkers Stern Smile

Nice one Jim.

lol
cool

Honestly, Dave...I don't know what the hell I was thinking lol!

I knew I'd eventually starting losing my hair (mission accmoplished - THAT'S a work in progress lol), so I'm sure I was bloody-mindedly determined to grow it long once....I didn't cut it for many years! I'll have to see if I can come across any of my longer ponytail/tye-dye t-shirt monstrosities lol!

Nice memories, I loved the Rockem Sockem Robots. My red robot had a loose head and kept popping up when he was not hit...

. I see that hockey game box too, another classic.

I remember that one. Didn't you put a little piece of cotton under the running backs arm.

yes, probably lost ours early on
