Bill Henderson: Just tryin' to get some free travel points. Air Canada didn't volunteer any though. ;-) Actually I can't remember what it was about. Something about what was going to happen when we got there.
P.S. Breakdown in Paradise was a great piece of work.
Bill Henderson: Thanks

Bill Henderson: 'Fraid not Steve. Glad you like the song. I've just finished the live mix for that one. Maybe I
should do a version without lead guitar so that a person could play their own lead over it.
From:Jim Choma
Bill Henderson: Yeah, he was a brilliant talent. During the recording of the "Lights From the Valley" album the band
was looking for someone to add some more creativity to the project. Our manager had heard Brian in a bar in Toronto and was very impressed. he talked to Brian who became interested in joining the band. Brian sent photos, a bio and tapes of his demos out to me and I checked them out. He came down to L.A. and started rehearsing with us 2 days before an important gig
at the Whiskey. He did a great job. He helped us finish "Lights" and we just went on from there.

Q1. I was wondering if Opus X has ever been released on cd. If it has not,is there plans to release it in the future. My lp has worn out and I am finding it difficult to find a replacement. Thanks.

Q3. Bill,
Do you have any idea when or if fans such as myself will be able to buy any of your CD's? I am especiallly interested in the greatest hits album or communication breakdown. I read somewhere that some of the classic canadian albums were about to be released on CD. I beleive Chilliwack was mentioned. Anyway we'll see you guys in July at the Craven Classic Rock weekend. It
should be an awsome weekend.

Hi Bill!
Q4. What was the inspiration behind "148 Heavy"? The song seems to be based on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, but what is the song all about?
Subject: tab music
Q5. Bill,
I have been a fan of the band since I first heard you back in 1976 when I lived In Illinois. I was wondering if there is guitar tab sheets for your music especially the song "Fly at Night". I would appreciate your help in learning one of the rockinest tunes that I have ever heard.
Thanks--Steve
