If youd like to have a reunion, give me a call. My jouney with Winterhawk was a dream come ture. Tour with the group from 78-84 Drummer. Winterhawk music should be known, there is no music out there like it. I do believe that it has its place in the Native music world. Miss you Nik, am a grandpa too now. Call me bro, Dar has the ph number. It would be great to hear your voice. Love man, your little bro Fonso. RED ROCK FOREVER ! YEAH!

Back in 1981, I was a sophomore at Lynwood High School in Lynnwood, WA. I was the keyboardist/manager of a band called Voyager. We were RUSH, Triumph, Rock and Roll junkies itching to play somewhere - anywhere. but being a group of 16 year old kids prevented us from playing anywhere that we might actually get paid. One day there was an assembly at school at which we were going to be exposed to and hopefuly have our horizons broadened by some band called Winterhawk. We were going to skip out on the asembly because we had never heard of this band and as soon as we saw that they were dressed in full native attire, we just knew it was going to be lame! For whatever reason, we stayed and sat mesmerized for the next half hour by what we were witnessing. Nik's stage presence and lightening fast fingers made his guitar sing. We were in awe of these guys. As soon as the last chord was played and the assembly was over, I was front and center in Nik's face introducing myself and the rest of the band and asked if we could give them a hand loading their gear back into their van to which he and the other 2 guys were all to happy to let us help. I used every second I was in Nik's presence to pitch my band and to tell him the situation we were in being underage to play in bars and what not. Nik told us that he couldn't promise us anything but that he'd come to our next rehearsal and if we were good, he'd book us to open for them for a few gigs they had coming up in Everett. He came, we were and he kept his promise. We opened for them the next 4 times they played at this little place called The Party in Everett. Those 4 gigs were what we needed to get heard and to get our name out there. From then on, we didn't ahve an unbooked weekend night for the rest of our high school days and then some. During the time our bands were associated, I was a volunteer roadie for Winterhawk, which assured me access and attendance to every show they played for the next couple of months. I couldn't get enough of them. Like all young adult men, the members of my band went our separate ways and lost touch as did my relationship with Nik but had it not been for him giving us the break we needed and giving us some sage time, we may have never gotten heard and booked anywhere. Thank you Nik Alexander.
