Bruce Hewes
Bruce Hewes and I were room mates at one time. Pat and I spent many hours together in his studio. My relationship with him started in the seventies when he asked me to manage his band Wagon Wheel Willie with Pat Gosen of the Floating Bridge as the lead singer.The Rangehoods came into being when Pearson joined the group from the Heats. Michael Murphy on steel was also in Wagon Wheel. I can remember one show we did opening for Tom Petty in the U District and after the show Hewes tore up Petty's road manager's card in front of his face and threw it on the ground. It was interesting times.
The Rangehoods were actually the Pins before Peason joined, a threesome. The Hoods broke up after show casing in LA, at least that is where I left. Pat and Steve sold the Caddie convertable to some guy at the Berevely Hilton and we flew back to Seattle.
