Wonderful things can happen ... if you let them

My husband and I have had the pleasure of talking with Ra and Brian and the guys, and I've come to appreciate qualities that most fans never get to see first hand.  In my opinion, the notes and the words are just the framework of a song.  It takes gifted artists to make the sound into a feeling.  If challenged, I couldn't have explained why Trooper's music stood out from other talented artists, but it always did.  Somehow, through their voices and actions, they always gave the impression of having depth and integrity.  Now I know just how true that is.  With their generous and patient support, I offer the following notes and quotes...

Did ya' know? ...

Ra McGuire sang background vocals for Loverboy's "Lovin' Every Minute of It".  I can practically see you all rushing to put it in your stereos to listen to it again..

Both Ra and Brian have been married to their wives for over 25 years.  That'll teach 'ya to judge rock stars by their "cover" cool grin

Ra has a huge personal collection of Christmas albums.  They're listed here on his site, so if any of you are fellow collectors, let him know.
