Owner/Moderator of the AM 740 Yahoo Group begun by my good friend, the late Brian Smith. For many years, I was Gilligan to his Skipper. Now I do my best to keep his creation going.
Abbie Andrews and the Canadian Ranch Boys - a St. Catharines based “Old Tyme” Country and Western Band from the 1940s and 1950s, which included my father on bass, and for a time, Walter Ostanek on accordion.

Music – I grew up in a very musical household. Dad liked country, jazz, big bands; Mom loved the standards, and the crooners. I was a Top 40 person until I heard an all-oldies weekend on 1050 CHUM in the early 1970s and got hooked on that genre. My friends exposed me to everything from classical to bagpipes to techno and even rap (still not my cup of tea). I love the odd, the obscure, the unusual and the outstanding in the world of music!
Some of my other interests, which include Local History, the Welland Canals, Family History and “Other Stuff”, which used to be found on this website, will soon be found at my new site fredwaterer.com
