Verdun (Connections) has an accomplished Musician too.

Read this excerpt from a site I stumbled upon while looking for Verdun Musicians------------                
                ---see if you recognize this short Bio:.......  
            Ron Manfield. Recording Artist/ Pianist/ Songsmith/ Producer
Ron made his first professional appearance at the age of seven, playing piano on CKVL Radio in Quebec. Born and raised in Verdun, Quebec, he began writing at ten, studied music in Montreal and turned professional in his early teens. It was then that Ron went to New York City to continue to realize his creativity and established a sense of commitment to the music industry. Maintaining a personal approach to his work, both as a writer and a performer, he has played his versatile repertoire on the piano lounge circuit across Canada and the South Western United States. Along the way, he met prominent artists who provide him with his sense of dedication and direction.

       Certainly seems to fall into the Great Musicans from Verdun category.....................Check the members list,
                               Congratulations to you Ron, staying quietly in the background, all while being quite accomplished yourself,
  Here'is a link to read more about Ron...................   http://www.mpcmusic.com/MPC.html
                                          ---Cheers Ron,        -Have Fun & Remember Verdun-
 Now can I ask you if you have any old photos from your CKVL days that you might want to share with us,?
