Remember when you could swing into A&B Sound on Mackay and Kingsway at Metrotown? After a stop next door to get the Witchazel or Butchershop Quartet promo printed and quick peek in at the love shop to see what’s new & exciting…
A&B was the big stop for a new album/CD or two or three or 4.
Looks like A&B sound changed their name to Sleep Country… wonder why?
Lol
The good old days hanging out in Metrotown.
More adventure pics from our July Fort St. John show at the Energetic County Fair.

Hi friends… It’s with a very sad and heavy heart that I can now confirm the horrible news…
Burke Ehmig passed away yesterday.
We’re all in shock and in tears.
I don’t know what else to say other than he was one of the kindest and most giving people I’ve ever met… He was a brother.
He will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him and received the gift of his kindness, and old soul wisdom.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Val and all the rest of his family, including his best friend Eddie. RIP my friend… you were truly one of a kind.

Yes it’s true…. This guy and Myles Goodwyn were a big influence on my decision to A. Be a singer in grade 5-6 B. Learn to play guitar like Ace Frehley and Ted Nugent in grade 7. At 76 he sounds and looks great!
How long does it take to smoke a 15,000 sq ft soundstage… A lot longer than it took Burke Ehmig, Ray Harvey and John Stoltz to change into their rock suite for the “Tough to Smile” video. Shot at Vancouver Film Studios with videographers Katie Gobert and Alsandair Toms. Head Gaffer Javier Carranza on follow spot in about 1000 other things. What an amazing crew we had at the shoot over the weekend.
Different session in the studio with John Stoltz -here’s a little demo and John going through all the different snare drums he might use” tough to smile” … things you learn in the recording studio from the season drummer, he spent his whole life studying what to hit how hard and when. 😎🙏🤓
In the recording studio with Vancouver Session Drummer/drum geek John Stoltz & “engineer delight” Rob Begg. John is giving us the lowdown on what cymbals he’s brought to the session & plans to use for “tough to smile”… a groove song! #shermanvonmusic #robbegg #vancouverbc #canadianartist #johnstoltz #originalmusic
Hanging in the recording studio with Rob Begg and Shannon Saunders Official -listening to a fresh violin track for” the other side of the fence” Rick Fedyk solid on the drums… notice Rob’s concentration… He was waiting for the Beer & Pizza to show up. 🤓😎😂 #shermanvonmusic #rickfedyk #robbegg #shannonsaundersofficial #canadianartist #vancouverbc #langley
Interesting to see what goes on in each room of the recording studio while Shannon lays down one of her tracks for “Now Look At This” one of the new original songs. -Question for the fun people… Is she playing a violin or viola in this video? SHANNON the Game Changer!  Check the Sherman Von page: https://www.facebook.com/sherman.von.2018 for unbelievable performance vids of Shannon Saunders in the studio along w (drums) Rick Fedyk & John Stolz. We couldn’t stop smiling as we listened in the control room.. track after track until midnight.🌝✨ The big question was: how many parts is enough Shannon? LOL 💥 Ray Harvey and I will be back in Lake Cowichan studios next week making tough decisions as we sort through multiple violin/fiddle & viola parts for “ Other Side of the Fence” & “Now Look At This”… which we thought was complete until Shannon showed up. Oh ya … The new drum tracks by Rick Fedyk and John Stoltz need to be reviewed & mixed in. Love the studio -love writing & making music with all the super talented people Canada has to offer. Very grateful.🙏😎🤓 Other stuff and swag: www.witchazel.ca #shannonsaundersofficial #shermanvonmusic #johnstoltz #robbegg #rickfedyk #shermanvonmusic #canadianartist #rocknroll #johnstoltz #langley #originalmusic #vancouver
The big Rock decision… Does Johnny play his BIG little crash in the second verse of “Now Look At This” or does he just smash a glass against the wall for that special effect? #genegreenwood #nowlookatthis #TuffToSmile #johnstoltz #canadianartist #originalmusic #rocknroll
getting ready to record drums for “Now Look At This” … Sherman Von original tune w John Stoltz. & Ray Harvey out in Langley BC at Rob Begg’s studio. BTW Anybody remember Lenny? Kevin Friesen
Hey, Sammy Hagar, Neal Schon fans… I remember the first time I heard this was 1984 while wood shedding at the Park Hotel in Grand Prairie (playing with Headwind). I only had a couple cuts on Cassette…lol I thought holy sh*t.. so good at the time … and still. Digging through some record store a few years ago, I was so excited to pick it up and in perfect condition Rob Begg Rob Paterson Kevin Friesen Brian Barton Randy Gabel Andy Kendrick Gerry Lutz Rob Morrison Jeff Todd Kobasiuk Randy Black Gene Cam Greenwood Cam MacLeod Guy Anderson David Desjarlais
Langely BC: Hanging in the Control Room with Rob Begg while Rick Fedyk lays down some solid drums parts for “Fall For Anything” this song is coming together real nice. Nothing like a powerful beat. #FallForAnything #rocknroll #originalmusic #ipa #StellaArtois #canadianartist
For all you folks who love watching a master lay it down-Rick Fedyk (Paul Rogers,BTO) on “Fall for Anything” in studio w Rob Begg at mission control.
Ray Harvey and Sherman Von checking out fresh Trax tracks for a new tune”Fall for Anything”in Ray’s recording studio… things that go blink in the dark. #vancouverisland #rocknroll #FallForAnything #originalmusic #ShermanVon #IPA
Have a sneak listen... with a little luck “Say a Little Prayer” will be finished for Christmas Eve & released as a single in Jan2023. #originalmusic #sayalittleprayer #peaceonearth #everychildmatters #UkrainiansWillResist #cancerfighter
