aisles while Spencer leads the way; at times he employs acrobatics that would make CCR vocalist/guitarist John Fogerty blush. “If you’re expecting a perfect facsimile of a 1970s CCR concert, prepare to be pleasantly disappointed,” says CCR fan Chris Baikie, who

now counts himself among Completely Creedence’s growing fan base. “These boys have been together too long and are too good of showpeople to just stand at the microphone and play. They pour a ton of energy into their show.” With the exception of Milutinovic, who could be original CCR bassist Stu Cook’s doppelganger, the members of Completely Creedence are not cookiecutter copies of the original band. Robertson and Spencer love to engage an audience, their opposing personalities often leading to

entertaining banter that momentarily breaks the time-warping spell cast during the show. Luckily, Campbell is quick to send the audience back to the ’70s with his impeccable timing and gritty, textured beats. Before long, the spell i s r e c a s t . Rob er t s on’s chilling performance of “Someday Never Comes,” for example, transcends the vocal range of Fogerty. Robertson will summon the living legend to resonate through Evergreen Theatre when Completely Creedence brings its highoctane throwback to town.

A bad moon will be rising over Evergreen Theatre next Saturday, April 16, when Completely Creedence, a Vancouver Island Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) tribute band, returns to rock Powell River with its spirited renditions of the music that has backdropped counterculture revolution since 1969. “T he f a c t t h at C C R achieved worldwide fame in just three short years, w h i le ne v er h av i ng a number-on hit in the US, is testament to the band’s working class populism,” says Completely Creedence singer Jamie Robertson. “The music is raw, high energy and just gets inside of you. I like to think we bring that same energy and emotion to our shows.” Robertson, along with guitarist Richard Spencer, bassist George Milutinovic and drum mer Rod Campbell, have been playing together for more than a decade.

THE LAW CORNER

Q. I was injured in a motor vehicle accident and I missed work. Can I claim for lost income?

A. Yes. If the other driver is the cause of the collision, you are entitled to be restored to your pre-accident position. That means you can claim for income loss in addition to damages for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In fact, if your injuries linger, you can claim for loss of future earning capacity. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle collision, please contact our office to discuss your situation, as the calculation of wage loss claims can be complicated.

Graham will be remembered as an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and boating. Many years of enjoyment were had with family and friends at his float home on Powell Lake. He also cherished his memories of guiding in the Yukon. He moved to Port Alberni midlife, where he built a new home and a hobby farm. He was very active in the rodeos and agricultural life on Vancouver Island. In later years, he converted the farm into a parkland where he enjoyed the wildlife and peace of country living.
