My first selfie taken on Victoria Glacier, Lake Louise. Exhausted having just arrived at 9000 ft. The silence was deafening. October 1973.

 

Breathtaking beauty on Victoria Glacier. The tent was up. The universe was definitely conspiring to find me the only tree... well above the tree line. October 1973

First entry into the Billboard top 100 European charts, April 1984. We were in the presence of some good company, Rainy Day In London ultimately topped out in the low 40's but we were still very stoaked! This chart entry would go on to change things for Boulevard and open a lot of doors for us back home. The clipping is framed and still hangs on the wall of my office.
