Kerry's Story
Hey McPhersoner`s-Sou'ers,& Bby Burnouts...Friends, Assocaites,
From McPherson to South, I was known as a long-hair that had friends across regular divisions of ppl: jocks, Brains, Heads, Rockers, & the Beautiful People(MM).
I was always making fun for my bored classmates as there was nothing I wouldn't do... (This became esay, as I was "strapped" in the 2nd week of 1st grade, for something I never did. So, if I get it anyways, may as well do something for it! Get my $'s worth... (straps were banned)
The greatest single act of fun was playing Zanadu, with Justin I. into the next class, causing the whole school to be late by 15 min`s.
I new all-years re-unions & bbq's...The Aug 9, this year was kik-butt as did Gerry Gionco Nov 8 all-years...
Yep...I'm a pro musician, wound up playing for Andy Kim to Alexsisonfire, Hybrhma, & Monochrome Sun, Full House, Hawk, Justin I. Toured from 18 on & that`s a fast growing up. (sessions, tour, soundtrack for film, Sony Loop Set w/ Jason Donelly). I've played 100's of shows & 1000's of recording hours.
1st thing ppl comment on F-Book, is you're still a serious musician, then drums, now, writing on guitar & synth as well. I played on nearly 60,000 CD/units butm I`m now working on a CD sample set of Sony Acid.
I`ve worked with the best some of the best producers in production teams like Daler Penner, David Peterson long-time friend & mentor Ken Sepnce. (Ken passed away last year & it was a huge loss for Canadian Music.
Ken, is dearly missed & I still am amazed at his "self"...an ability to focus on you not so much him. He support`s one`s abilitions, busniess ventures to all the other areas of life.
My friends & school mates are always in my thoughts, mixed in with every day. The times in the formitive years, are so, incredibly special, that a nostalgia hits me like the 1st trip.
Life to me:
Life`s an Acid Test & like a `Time & Space Ship`` we are this invisble self, that comes alive in total silence. I hope everyone I`ve been some part of someron`s life Journey, that life treats you well, that u follow your dreams all thru-out life & my you find happiness. Why, Or `What`s the purpose of lifeà Happiness. Every we do, satisfy happiness.
Re-Unions:
Bob H. & David L. & I are putting the 2nd annual Bby BO BBQ 8/8/10. This years was a wik'd time & it's been great having so many of these all years gatherings. Check out the awesome pics on Facebook.
In the day, I had the pleasure of hosting many huge parties at my place where "we'd set up & play Rush covers.
I had a killer time helping ppl rock. Back when gangs were par-tiers, armed ...Expand for more

All my classmates, please feel free to add a story otr say how do.
I hope ya'll have your success is great & that life treats you well. Read Dr. Chopra & Dyer...that's the start to improving oneself. All the best! Peace~Cheers...
I had been working in a studio to very late for the last 84th straight eve, until 3:30am I work up to find `fools`working to replace some decking.
I went out on an awseome Aug day, & I went out to take my wfie`s plants out of the way & when I walked off my patio, a 4 x 8`sheet of plywood 3 storìes & luckily just missed my head but put me down. I had tough years & some how m,ade it thru.
So, after 4 years on my back, I worked on & with liners that produce (mass replication) of CD/ DVD (no not burning).
I was so happy to get 4 years of schooling paid for by my manager's company & then to be chosen by the engineer's that trained myself & 2 others, to take over the liners, as Production Services & replication Lab Tech-QC.
I had only been an audio/redording technical background, at this point so to work with technology, other than which produced music, was kind of a surprising thing, as I found CAD Auto-CAD charts like in any other more familiar setting. Thanks to the work & assistance of Engineer`s Harry Gross, Klauss, of Krauss Maffei-Germ) & John Abel (USA) signed off as myself as Production Specialist, Service Engineer & Plastic`s processing Technician... See the vid on FB.
This all started after my accident in `94 was nearly whacked in an accident, outside our condo, as I`d turned 29, & 4 years later, became a Mech & Process Engineer, for Millenium Compact Disc Ind.-Labs `98-04`(I had gone back into music in 2001-baby steps).
I've one thing to say: The Wiz Oz, wierd movie: lol. Turned out the guy, trhis wizard, was hiding behind a curtain, as he was "stranded" due to his own discourse. Where he didn't want to be; & controlled a mini-me world, with his little levers that showed he was no wizard in fact a clown in a stranded balloon. It's his narcissistic importance that we find near the films end as he uses all the ppl he can fool.
I take my friends as great importance. No matter when they were made otr broken...
This guy: calls Vancouver a pit, shizzer ppl, yet I find "him" yet is on these social sites despite he hates our town & lives on the dole in the UK but poses very well, in all the stuff given to him. At 24, he would leave dozens of minutes of horrid messages on a friends (former ) Mom`s phone, not his! I hate to say it, but I don`t like this guy! The Wiz sux...
