The Shape Of Things
Montreal, Canada

1967-1968
 
 

 The band was formed in two weeks in NDG Montreal and we decided to go and work in a tobacco feild in Aylmer, Ontario Canada to make money for music equipement. We brought with us our old gear to pratice at nite during July and August '67. Came back to Montreal, and started playing in different halls. The band ended in late '68.

Later on in '68, I (Max) played with another band with Gary Devost called "The Wanderrers" for a short time and then hung up my drums for 33 years. I have started jamming with new drums two years ago and I just love it.
