Jim's Story
Life
After graduating from high school in 1964, I spent about a year working at odd jobs in PA, and playing in the band.(Starfires) In the summer of 1965, I moved to Prince George BC, and went to work in a lumber mill. In August of 65, my parents relocated to Regina, giving me a chance to attend collage there. I attended the University of Regina for about 3 months, and then dropped out in favor of becoming a full time musician. That lasted for 6 years, during which time we made records, and travelled al l over western Canada to promote ourselves. During the last 2 years of this, I met my wife, and took a correspondance course in electronic repair. From 1972 to 1975, I worked for an automotive stereo shop. In 1975, I opened my own business.
I married in 1975, and together we raised 4 children. We now have 5 grandchildren, and 1 great-granddaughter. We have lived in the same house here in Regina since...Expand for more
1975.
In 1980 I became employed at the University of Regina, and have been here ever since. It's quite amazing to see how this campus has grown. I'm still involved in the music business(I play in a rock and roll band), and I have my own recording studio. If I can ever find the time, I'll be putting out my own cd.
3 of my children live here in Regina, and 1 lives in Vancouver. I've still got a few years left before I have to retire, so we don't do a lot of travelling at the moment. Hopefully that will all change once I retire.
Okay, an update-I am now retired, and have spent a few winters in Arizona. I did manage to produce a few albums (CD's) while in Arizona, And managed to put out a CD on itunes as a download. The album is called "Drunken bull riding." Look up my name and that title in itunes, or CBC music and you can hear what it sounds like. I'm at jim "dot" mclennan "at" uregina "dot" ca
