pic of me from The Scotia Sun. Al Hooper had a song called Washington DC so I asked Ben Kerr to write a Cdn version for me. The next day, Ben had finished "Parliament Hill" which kicked off my time as Canada's PM of Country Music
"Runnin'" Ben Kerr and I in the recording studio. Ironically, we were most likely not talking about music but that cigarette in my hand. I do not think there's another person in Canada that worked harder to protect people from smoking in public places
