A little ancient Canadian History



This is the late great Handsome Ned. Watching Ned play and listening to him perform - solo or with one of his various bands - was always a gas. We really lost a shining star when he checked out way back in 87.

Thanks for posting this and reminding me of what young puppies we all were when he was alive.

His death was related to his heroin use, four dinners. I recall very clearly word of his passing spreading across the Queen West neighbourhood. He was a very popular local figure, and also had a radio show on a college radio station - The Honky-Tonk Hardwood Floor Show
