I didn't think Albertans would consider someone who was born and raised in Vancouver, and who spent considerable time in Toronto, as a 'local boy'. Maybe there's hope for me yet.

I believe he has lived in the Foothills of Alberta since the late 60's or early 70's. I think that qualifies him as a local boy. As a professional musician I am sure his work has taken him to many cities. That said his roots are here in Alberta. This is where he calls home. I was spent my first 30 years in Vancouver. Despite that I am proud to call myself an Albertan. Yup I was born in Vancouver, but today I would not consider myself a Vancouver local.
