Many years ago in 1978 the band NIGHTWINDS was hired to play my school, A. Y. Jackson Secondary School in North York, Ontario.<\/p>\n

At the time I was already worshipping RUSH but had not fully delved into Progressive Rock yet.<\/p>\n

I had not heard music like theirs before but I knew that they were fantastic and I liked it a lot.<\/p>\n

They were the nudge I needed to become a Prog Rock fan.<\/p>\n

And then I never saw them again…<\/p>\n

Several years ago I did some searching around the internet and met up and became friends with former NIGHTWINDS keyboardist Gerald O’Brien.<\/p>\n

Gerald had given me a few details here and there of the band’s history but I wanted to hear it all.<\/p>\n

And finally, we have it. Gerald has sat down with me and told the amazing story of NIGHTWINDS. It’s even better than I imagined.<\/p>\n

This is long but well worth the listen.<\/p>\n
