Mashmakan

There's a band name I haven't seen for a while. Out here on the west coast nobody's ever heard of Mashmakan. As I remember they were originally called Trevor Payne and the Triangles, also a band nobody has ever heard of out here. They did lots of dances in Verdun in their days.

Trvor taught at John Abbott CEGEP in the mid '70's and I heard that he later taught at McGill.  And that he is in the West Island now.

  Trevor Payne was leader of a band called "Trevor Payne and the Soul Brothers".  Not sure why, but Trevor Payne left the group and, moved to Ottawa.  Then the 3 guys left behind went as the Soul Brothers for a few gigs that I remember, and then added a keyboard player to form Mashmakan.   Saw these guys as the original group with Trevor Payne and the 3 man group both at VCHS "sock hops"...... and then Mashmakan played our "VCHS Prom".   p.s Jerry Mercer was from Verdun, one of the avenues I think...above Bannantyne.
