That’s my only claim to platinum (I think they’ve gone platinum?) fame by one degree of separation.

Well I can beat that. My wife used to work for Hammond Organ Studios in Toronto. Her boss was manager for a band called Rhinegold. We used to follow them all over southern Ontario. The lead singer, Larry, was under age so they had to sneak him in and out of the licensed clubs. The night he turned 18, (legal age in Ontario back in 1974) he spent the night with us at our table between sets. What's the big deal you ask? Larry is better known by his last name, GOWAN! We knew back then he was going to be a star.
