b. North Bay, ON March 22, 1930 / d. North Bay, June 13, 2020 (90)
Brose started The Chords in 1959 and claimed: "As a new band
nobody would hire us in North Bay. We had to play in places like Trout Creek,
South River, Sturgeon Falls and Lavigne. We used to do square dances." He
smiles as he remembers. "We didn't get to play (the big time) in North Bay
until 1962."
Don Brose is now President of the North Bay Musicians Hall of Fame. This
is the only LP that I know of that Brose appeared on; he also recorded a
45 for Vintage Records in 1973. Don Brose from North Bay was inducted into
the Northern Ontario Country Music Association's Hall of Fame on November

John Mills-Cockell (born 19 May 1943) in Toronto. Was the first Canadian
to purchase a full fledged Moog Synthesizer in 1967, costing about $20,000.
He joined Toronto super group Kensington Market then ran his own band, Syrinx.
He currently lives on Vancouver Island and is still composing.
Says Mills-Cockell about his Moog: “We got wind of this instrument called
a Moog synthesizer, and it seemed like a dream come true, as far as I was
concerned. We had been making our own electronic instruments: playing with
tape recorders, jerry-rigging things together. It turned out [Dr. Moog] was
in upstate New York, which is not that far from Toronto, and we drove there
in our Volkswagen psychedelic van to see him.”

In 1989, Celia was a member of a band called “Tarnished Gallahad”. They
toured Ontario and Manitoba until they disbanded in 1996. That’s when Celia
met guitarist and songwriter Mark Stewartson and formed the band Roundhouse.
Invisible Inc. was then formed soon after and released a CD entitled Poor
Folks Welcome (2000). Invisible Inc. played clubs in southern Ontario for
several years and also embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom. The band
broke up in 2001 and Celia went solo, releasing his first album Organica
in 2002.
