This is the eighth episode of our special series ‘Guest Glimpses’, short bits from longer conversations with previous guests. You’ll hear about 10 minutes of each guest’s 60+ minute chat with show host Dan Hare. Featured guests this week are:

ROBERT LAWSON, author of ‘Wheatfield Empire’ the definitive comprehensive history on The Guess Who discusses what his book is - and isn’t, including the “revolving door” nature of the members, Kurt Winter’s unsung contribution, the misconception about why Burton Cummings joined the band and the relationship between Burton and Randy Bachman.

JIM FOSTER, singer/songwriter and founder of the band Fosterchild talks about his early days in the Edmonton music scene, being on the same bill with iconic bands such as The Byrds, the lesson he learned from Roger McGuinn, the rise and fall of Fosterchild and his solo career.

BRIAN VOLLMER, rock and roll soldier and founder of the band Helix, talks about how he captured the bands career on film, video and mini discs, the rigours of touring, various record deals and his outlook on his career and life.

ANDREW JOHNS, keyboardist, vocalist and member of the band Boulevard talks about how the band formed in Calgary and why they moved to Vancouver and what happened that stopped their progress in the U.S. market, being booed when opening for Boston and the padded expenses of making music videos.
