Q104's 25th Anniversary was on Friday and we celebrated all weekend starting with Q104's Quarter Century Concert & Clambake. Unfortunately, Myles Goodwin had collapsed in Montreal just before he was to come to Halifax. So April Wine pulled out. Joel Plaskett Emergency stepped in and did an awesome job as always. It's too bad Myles wasn't here for the big pissup. A suprise had been planned for Myles. Jim, David and Ritchie Henman were going to be onstage together with Myles and the rest of April Wine for the first time since 1971, how amazing would that have been. It didn't happen. The Henman Brothers accepted their award on behalf of April Wine from The Mighty Q and were inducted into the first ever East Coast Rock Wall Of Fame. A heartfelt moment. The whole weekend was amazing. Seeing lots of friends on and off the air. One of the many special moments for me was having the first ever Q Jocks Brother Jake, Hal Harbour, Billy Bob, Bob Powers, Doug Caldwell, and Jeff Woods see what they had started. For the rest of us keeping that spirit of what they intended going is what keeps us the current Q Alum going....and also having the best loyal listeners ever. Thanks for being a part of the Q Family. Rock!
The first song ever played on The Mighty Q 25 Years ago.
