John Taylor: Singer, songwriter:
John and Gord play together as The Pre-Existing Conditions. John is an avid songwriter that is no dead beat. His specialty is having a lot of fun with the tunes he writes. He takes 'a lickin & keeps on tickin' writing at least one or two songs a week lately. He usually digs out about half a dozen new songs for the two to woodshed together each week in addition to writing his own.
One of Gord's favourite things is to back John's strong vocals & playing with a sprinkle of tasteful lead guitar.
Ray Painchaud
aka Monsieur Hot Bread aka Mr. Hot Bread
Ray loves singing harmonies almost as much as he enjoys 'Rockin the Boat' when he lites into his harmonicas.
In addition to allowing Gord to play with him in Hot Bread & Jam, Ray sings in a men's choir and plays solo entertaining at various senior centres and worthy social, cultural, and environmental events.
When things get serious, Ray resorts to yodeling and singing exclusively in French. Comme ca?
