I was soon good friends with Jerry Santbergen who was at least a bit of a media star. He had moved to Toronto with his girlfriend Kaaren Blatchford. Jerry rented the former Bohemian Embassy as his studio. I worked with Jerry a lot of the time and we moved a little dope to pay the bills One of the more fun things was The Electro Magnetic Spectrum Band also known as the silicon control or the Solid State Waste Removal Company orchestra and chorus.the rule was you wern't allowed to have ever played a musical instrument So tom Sinew was kicked out and I took his place. Bart Scoales. Ziggy Blazer, Jerry Santbergen, Moses Smith and me had an avant-garde band in 1967 We played Tape recorders, movie and slide projectors and strobe lights and a wind machine and incense etc. Sam The Record Man let Jerry and I use any of his records we wanted to tape.We had Philips 2 track tape recorders and taped differnt music on each track and blended it. We played one gig at McGill University in Hamilton...
