I met Dan in Kitsilano in 1968 after I broke up with the band I was in called The Family Dogs. I had a gig at a blues club in downtown Vancouver called the Harlem Nocturne and needed a guitar player, so Dan and I got together and called ourselves the Dynatones. We also played at the first Easter be-in at Stanley Park and at the Elegant Parlor night club that was owned by Tommy Chong's parents, The Last Chance Saloon, Rohan's, the Golden Palace and Kits Theatre in Kits.Members
