TheGhostRider Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Anybody know what happened to the other members of the band? I know the organist passed away, and we tragically lost Neil last year, but I can't find any info regarding the other guys. Does anybody have any information on these guys or where I can find some? I have their names but that's it. Late organist - Bob Morrison guitarist - Paul Dickinson, bass guitarist - Wally Tomczuk singer, lyrics - Gary Luciani drums, lyrics - Neil Peart Edited March 4, 2021 by TheGhostRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late organist - Bob Morrison guitarist - Paul Dickinson, bass guitarist - Wally Tomczuk singer, lyrics - Gary Luciani drums, lyrics - Neil Peart I can't remember if this movie addresses those people specifically (i think it does) but if you are interested in the history of bands in the area there is a movie on youtube that talks about JR Flood-"The Big Story of Small Potatoes: Niagara’s Rock Music History 1964-1974" I had it on in the background one day and when it was done I remember thinking, "That's a bit more than I wanted to know :lol: " but it has a lot of good info. If you are following JR Flood you might find it of interest. Here is an article about the filmmaker and movie; it lists his website at the very end. Perhaps he might be a contact to find more information. https://www.brockpress.com/niagaras-music-history-focus-of-a-new-documentary/ Edited March 4, 2021 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 guitarist - Paul Dickinson, I believe he dropped "Paul" in favor of his middle name, and gave up guitar to focus on vocals. He went on to have a lucrative career in metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Anybody know what happened to the other members of the band?

I have their names but that's it. Late organist - Bob Morrison guitarist - Paul Dickinson, bass guitarist - Wally Tomczuk singer, lyrics - Gary Luciani drums, lyrics - Neil Peart I don't think Neil wrote lyrics for J R Flood. Geddy and Alex have said that they asked Neil if he'd ever written lyrics and he said No, but that he'd like to try. You can hear that in this interview at about 7 minutes in (if you have Amazon Prime): https://www.amazon.com/Manic-Street-Preachers-Meet-RUSH/dp/B08DKGCCQC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 guitarist - Paul Dickinson, I believe he dropped "Paul" in favor of his middle name, and gave up guitar to focus on vocals. He went on to have a lucrative career in metal. He always seems to strive for more cowbell in his recordings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I have a cd of JR Flood that a Rush fanatic sent me years ago Like that CD-R a lot. It's definitely representative of that time and it's fun to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
