Rheostatics play for an old friend

On October 24, Dave Bidini hosted a celebration of the life and times of Canadian author Paul Quarrington, whose novel Whale Music has figured so prominently in the history of the Rheostatics and whose friendship has meant so much to its members. Paul has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.

The occasion included a Rheostatics 'reunion,' some of which was caught on video and in still photos. Dave Clark and Don Kerr were both present, as was Kevin Hearn, a frequent guest collaborator over the years.

Desmond Howl has posted a video of the Rheos performing "Claire" to YouTube.
