      As a cancer survivor I hope he's one of us lucky ones that survived. It's a battle that no one should have to endure & it's not just a battle for that person but for every person that loves them. I've lost to many to cancer. For those still fighting - fight the good battle.

    I never knew Trooper was a Canadian band? Far out, Canadian's gave us a lot of great bands like The Guess Who, Lighthouse, Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, The Cooper Brothers, James Leroy just to name a few, I'd be proud to be Canadian too man, your country isn't as corrupt as America!

      This was great, thanks, I have been researching "best dating apps for relationships" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Senadison Foremost Scheme - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to make any woman melt in your hands and love you without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

    Before Trooper got really popular my dad worked with a dude on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver in 1971 who would play this song a few other songs from Trooper before they ever came onto radio or were released on record. He later found out from a former co-worker that it was in fact Ra McGuire who worked there for a summer before Trooper ever got famous

    This is my Mom's song(Linda)...she's on life support in the hospital right now. I know if your reading these you don't know me or my Mom but if you send a prayer for her...that would be awesome!.She's always been so much fun and also an alcoholic,her addictions are why she is so sick right now.If she pulls threw ,I have her lined up for rehab.Its ironic but if you have a loved one who is in my Mom's boat....just remember 'we're here for a goodtime not a long time,so have a good time...because the sun can't every day.Enjoy your life! and your loved ones.
