“RIP Myles Goodwyn (1948 – 2023)Myles and I went back to the earliest days of the Canadian music industry (when there were only about half a dozen or so acts in Canada actually making records). Myles and I always got along and were pretty good friends even though we didn’t see each other that often. Rest well Myles, you sure worked hard…– B.C.”
