Yeah, it’s Walter Gretzky. Wayne’s dad. And as of December 28, 2007, a member of the Order Of Canada. Cool.

It’s funny to see this guy wearing a sweater. It’s usually a jersey.

I photographed Vince Carter at the grand opening of Club 279 above the Hard Rock Cafe here in Toronto back in 2002. I was hoping to grab another shot of him later that night, but when I approached Vince, his personal security guy who was the size of the Air Canada Centre, wouldn’t let me anywhere near him.

A CFL Hall of Famer. I photographed him in Hamilton a few years back.

Name him and score some big league JACK Nation points.

Now, onto today’s blog. Actually, not only has this Johnnie come home but as of June of this year all five original members of this Canadian band are back together again.  Mind you, they’ve never really stopped touring since their inception in 1982. I shot these guys at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington a few summers ago.

Name the band.

Look….another rock star! Actually, a star who shunned the spotlight. Besides recording his own stuff, he’s also produced music for the likes of Meatloaf, Grand Funk Railroad & XTC.

I shot this guy who was performing as part of a tribute on a small North American tour.

I took this shot at an outdoor festival in Hamilton a couple of summers ago. A clear day, you could see for miles. Or should that be Myles?

UPDATE: Thursday @ 5:55 pm

April Wine’s Myles Goodwyn. I’ve met him on a few occasions over the years. Really interesting guy. He likes old analog gear. A few years ago, the radio station I was working at was going digital and replacing all the old school recording equipment. He took particular interest in the 4 & 8 track reel-to-reel decks. Neat.
