Hey there, my name is Chris Gaines and my inner child pretty much runs the place. I’m rarely seen in public without my dog, Mike, who tends to get recognized more than I do because he has more followers on his social media pages.

I’m originally from Ottawa’s west end and I’m a Sens fans so please don’t hold either of those things against me. No, I do not know the Marshalls in Kanata, but I hear they are really nice people.

I was born early enough to remember when Classic Rock was just called Rock and have witnessed the birth of many talented artists and bands that have survived over the decades. My very first live concert was Queen in 1977. Yes, I am that old, and yes, I still have the ticket stub.
