Music

Ron loved to sing and often did so as one of the trio "Odd Men Out" which he founded in 1993 with Ian Van Wyck (bass) and Mike Simpson (keyboards). 

 

Ron at the Mic

Mike often recorded the gigs and in 1997 some of these recordings made their way onto a CD called "Changes" which was compiled and released in Ron's memory.

The CD is available for $10 plus shipping. Use the contact link in the  top menu.
