Playing With Bachman and Turner At the Arcada Theatre In Chicago

The historical Arcada Theatre in Chicago
The Arcada Theatre in Chicago is steeped in history. Many of the top performers in the history of music have played here. Since June 28, 2013 that now includes Bachman and Turner

The Arcada Theatre is such a cool place to play at. A really amazing venue steeped in history.

The First Time that Cease and Desist Played with Randy Bachman

This interesting tidbit of information was recently found. It is a schedule that shows the first time that Cease and Desist played on the same stage with Randy Bachman. This was back on May 6, 1993. Twenty years ago.

This is pretty much the first time Cease and Desist ever played with Randy Bachman 1993

The 2013 Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer

I am finally getting around to posting this.
This is something that I did last year and this year, and plan to keep doing as long as my health permits.

Due to scheduling reasons, I had to do the run on a different weekend than the normal event.
This year though, my Friends Wayne and Lory accompanied me. Having them along was amazing.

We set off on June 09, 2013

Aside from some fatigue and a bit of an aching back there were no issues.
Having Wayne and Lory along was amazing.
And on top of it all, I made my goal, again, thanks to all who contributed. 🙂
