Here is: "The Legendary"... Mr. Ray Charles !
This was Feb.'98 at The Q. E. Theater, Vancouver BC, for The Variety Club Telethon on BCTV.
I've had the honor of backing up Ray four times on this show! He will be greatly missed.

 

 

Here again with Ray, at the Variety Club Telethon Feb. '93, a photo from his first appearance!
L-R its: Actor/Musician Jim Byrnes on Guitar, Daryl Bennet Drums...
and... "The Man"...
Mr. Ray Charles... with myself on Fretless Bass.

 

 

This was with David Foster and The Atlanta Symphony, when we performed with... Celine Dion,
Kenny Rogers, and Warren Wiebe! I'm on the far right, with the laser light at my feet.
The show was produced by
Executive Visions Inc. (1) of Atlanta Georgia.

 

 

Here again with David Foster... Richard Marx & The Chicago Symphony, and also performing with...
Jordan Hill and Warren Wiebe! On the far right, I'm just right of the bright blue spotlight.
Executive Visions Inc. (2) produced this show as well.

 

 

This was the Band (at rehearsal) the first year for David's Charity Foundation Celebrity Concert,
Victoria BC. The Musicians L-R are:
Norm MacPherson, David Foster, B. Newc (behind Dave),
Morry Stearns, Rev Dave Boruff, Jerry Adolphe, and Doug Edwards (Music writer of "Wildflower").

 

 

This is the only picture I have of myself (mic stand in front) and...
the Great
Warren Wiebe... on a David Foster Charity Event.
The expression on his face says it all... as to his intense Vocal Passion!

 

 

Another photo from that Great night with David Foster and Warren Wiebe (above),
...this time, with the very cool...
Kenny Loggins!



Here are Hockey Greats: Wayne Gretzsky, Mark Messier, and Glen Anderson (80's Oilers)
