Episode 25 Ronnie King

As an immigrant to Canada from Holland as a young boy, Ronnie King quickly adapted to life as a Canuck. His journey as an iconic rock & roller started early. In this episode, we discuss his learning to play guitar on a used guitar with one string that his Dad brought home to him as a gift, along with the early years with the original six piece version of the Stampeders, driving from Calgary to Toronto in the 1960s in an old broken down limo and more. Ronnie chuckles as he tells me about life in the Stampeders. We also discuss his acting career, appearing on both Don Kirshner's Rock concert & the Dating game. Ronnie King along with Rich Dodson & Kim Berley forged paths for many other great Canadian bands to follow & he tells us all about it in this episode.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tommy-solo-s-famous-friends--4318572/support.
