Main claim to fame was opening for No Means No at the Fernwood Community Centre in 1983. (It’s mentioned in the recent book about No Means No). Memorable night dealing with slam dancers crashing into the stage head first, including one guy who slammed his head into my mic stand. It hurt my lip so I instinctively kicked him in the head. The crowd went crazy-they loved it! No Means No came on stage and the bass player turned his amp up full and blew it up on their second song. They asked to borrow our bassist’s amp - he said flatly no. Harris
