Passed away today. He was 74. There's lots of great Lighthouse music to remember him by.

The Paupers album is great! Forgot all about it. Going to eBay now. Thanks.

A great Drummer. I remember the Paupers very well and Lighthouse was a favourite as well. May he rest in peace.

Never seen them, but enjoyed the music. Rockin' Chair on the Live album kicked ass. My daughter was named Sara, from the song 1849.

One Fine Morning was one of the first songs I remember from the radio. Seven Up had a contest featuring Canadian bands on the bottom of their cans; April Wine, Crowbar, Lighthouse, The Guess Who, among others. You had to collect the band members and if you did I think you won swag, albums or tickets to the concert with a meet and greet which in the early 70s was pretty cool. Anyway, I recall collecting Skip Prokop's image and it made me enjoy Lighthouse and his performing even more. Thanks for the pleasure your gifts provided. RIP.
