Happy Birthday to Brian Greenway!

Brian Greenway, best known for being a guitarist and mainstay of April Wine, is 60 years old today!  I've had the pleasure of meeting him once.....he's really quite the gentleman.  I've since exchanged messages with him on the April Wine forum on their official website.  He's well liked and he's got lots of greetings to catch up on when he next logs on.

He's in Kitchener, Ontario tonight, where April Wine is playing.

Here are two YouTube links that feature him.

The first is a live performance of the leadoff track for the solo CD that he released in 1988.  The CD is titled Serious Business and is extremely rare; expect to pay $85 for it if you ever find it.

In the Danger Zone

The second track is from April Wine's 2001 CD Back to the Mansion.  Track #4 is a song that Brian wrote and sang the lead vocals on.

I think it's the best song he's ever written.

Happy Birthday, Brian!  We are lifting a glass of Moosehead in the direction of Kitchener this evening in your honor!
