OLDIES

For all of you in the Toronto area: Do you recognize anyone in these pics?


Ronnie And The Corvairs - 1959 This early picture of the band was taken in 1959, just after a "living room rehearsal".

Pictured here are Ron Russell (right) and (the late) Wayne MacKenzie (left).

This 'promo shot' was taken in 1972 - around the time that they were playing a steady gig at the infamous Rondun Tavern. The song 'Misty' was recorded live there (See the Recordings page).

In addition to Ron Russell (guitar, vocals) and Wayne MacKenzie (on the Hammond A100), Joe Larmond filled out the trio on drums.
