Davis Manning, Hip Sax Player...
#16

Davis also chatted to me over email and agreed for me to re-tell the story of the Wall, I've toured a few people to it and told his story. Also an amazing fishing story that took place on Princess street one night after a show.
Davis played in the band when I used to see the HIP at the Lakeview Manor, it's gotta be a chore to perform sax at that tempo!
He is in BC. I haven't chatted to him in forever, but this will spur me to send him a note. Beautiful human!
Oh and I don't think there was a girl between him and the band,
But I do know one member married a waitress, and they're still living happily ever after,

The wall is one of the coolest things I've experienced as a fan. Kinda like how a hardcore Beatles fan (or really a genuine fan of music) should feel walking across Abby Road.

It's funny too because I had walked by it dozens of times and had no idea exactly where it was until Tina gave me directions. At least it's by the clean tatoo parlor in Kingston.

I'm still interested in hearing this fishing story

Cheers

I do not believe I have ever seen a poster featuring the original band.

The Tragically Hip Web Ring. Now that brings me back.

For those interested in that sort of thing, the above poster is advertising shows in March 1986.
