Man, don't know why I'm so wiped out. I slept well, got up, had a shower, cleaned up, then Pat Pelletier and his partner Marie came to pick me up and we went to Issac's Way for lunch with our close friend Nancy, it was just her birthday and we were joined by Gord and Karla Shefroth.
Gord's a singer in a band from the US called 'Aftershock', but Gord lives in Oromocto, here in New Brunswick. The band doesn't tour or anything, but they release some kick ass Metal. Gord is an amazing singer. I don't couch myself as a good singer, but Gord is amazing. SO, amazing that when Rob Halford of Judas Priest left the band 1991, the remaining members of Priest went on a global search for a new singer and them's some BIG boots to fill. Judas Priest are the 'Metal Gods', when people think of 'Metal' usually Judas Priest is one band people will mention... Well Gord, auditioned for Judas Priest and actually made it into the top tier of singer's that did. He never got the gig, but if it's a testament to his vocal ability, that's one to have in your belt!
It was great to see Pat, Marie, Gord, Karla and Nancy. We always say we need to do these 'get togethers' more often, as we usually only meet up at like Christmas or Birthdays. We're a sentimental lot and love to try and get the 'old gang' back together, but with jobs, lives and wives/husbands/ kids, it's not always easy to do.
Here's a pic from this even, think I'm gonna go lay down for half an hour....
