Listen "Ra McGuire interview, 2000"
Episode Synopsis
Twenty-one years ago last week, I retired from day-to-day radio and we celebrated with friends on CISL's Wakeup Club. Ra McGuire was one of those friends and we talked just before Trooper's 25th anniversary show at the Commodore. In this interview, we cover some of Ra's favourite Trooper music and he comes up with a great retirement project for me!
Now it's Ra who's taking life easy. Just got word that he and Trooper guitarist Brian Smith are "officially" retiring. This from Trooper's Facebook page:
"They've already been *unofficially* retired for a year and a half, so they've just decided to continue not working, since they've realized that they're getting pretty good at it."
Trooper keyboard player Paul Gogo, bassist Scott Brown and drummer Clayton Hill will keep rockin' with new singer David Steele and guitarist Steve Crane. Best of luck to Ra and to Brian! And take it from me - this "retirement" thing rocks!
