Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I had the privilege of talking with Barry Keane, the renown drummer for the late Gordon Lightfoot. For 48 years, Barry performed along side his friend Gordon Lightfoot. In our conversation, Barry recounted the serendipitous events that led him to connecting with Lightfoot and being part of the North American music scene including unbelievable stories like that of recording the iconic Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He shares the influence of family in his musical career and the unpredictable nature of the music industry including memories of performances, the impact of friendship and loss, and his gratitude for the opportunities he has been given.
