The Grand Ole Opry, the Bluebird Cafe, wandering through the Ryman Auditorium… Memories of our trips to Nashville... Performing on stages that have seen some of the greatest musicians of all time... we all felt a little intimidated and extremely humbled... The crowds were wonderful… their acceptance and enthusiasm for this country band from Canada will always be one of my most treasured memories!
McQueen first played in Vancouver we were approached to record a tune by a well known song writer and B.J. Roberts' - Celina became our first single.
We did our first album at Bullfrog Studios. It featured mostly my tunes with my lead vocals and guitars in most songs. I was nominated for BCCMA guitarist of the year after it was done. Here are some of mine..
Old Map of Texas with Ron on lead vocals, Lets Get Lucky the target market was a certain brewery
One Last Try that's me, Overnight Success - me again
You Make Me Crazy – and again
18 Wheels – me on guitar and vocals (this song got me a BCCMA nomination for song of the year)
Lonely Lady – again on guitars and lead vocals
Heroes – this was our first video and got some airtime on The Nashville Network
​
A friend that we had met in his recording studio in Nashville sent us some of his tunes.
I tried my hand at recording a couple of those Tom Paden tunes.
