There's a picture in the living room of the Porters' ranch near Medicine Hat, Alberta of The Great One holding the destined one. It's the winter of 1985, the Porters are waiting for a flight in the Edmonton airport. Wayne Gretzky, newly crowned King of the world (as far as anyone north of the 49th parallel is concerned) comes over and asks to hold their newborn baby. Ask any Canadian - that would be a hard moment to beat for most memorable.
I'd always been around music, either with my family, classical violin lessons or playing around Medicine Hat in a duo, it was always there. It had to be a part of my life.
