Some day I expect this will be an historic picture of a famous band. That's my son Dylan in the middle, he's the lead singer. Cole Godfrey is on drums and Leo Muntank is playing the Fender Precision bass. This was taken in our backyard last year (June 2007)during my annual Angus Guevera Scotch and Cigar Event. These boys are all 20 years old and have been playing together in one form or another since high school. They are great kids and Dylan and Leo are great song writers. Check them out at:http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=352529745Our first clue of Dylan's musical talent came when he was around 6 years old. We were driving down the highway in our old '83 Subaru with some good tunes in the tape deck and Dylan starting singing along - in harmony! Just popped out. Then there were 6 years of piano lessons - he wrote his first song at around age 10. It was pretty good. By fifteen, piano practice was not happening so the lessons stopped but a couple of years later, he asked for a guitar - so I went to NJAMS on Granville St in Vancouver and bought him a Peavy Stratocaster knockoff. A couple of months later he came home to announce that he was now the singer for a band of local boys who included Leo, Cole and Perry Einarson on lead guitar. From their first performance, two things were clear - they were pretty darn good and Dylan was a charismatic performer. Stay tuned to this Blog for more on his musical career.
