>Hi, All!

>Recently, I have gone back to review the nearly thirty years that Bernie &
>Phil have been members of The Heep.  Whilst doing so, I was reminded of the
>short tenure of Steff Fontaine in the band, which was nothing more than a
>couple of months from July to September, 1985 touring the U.S. & Canada.
>
>In fact, I had seen The Heep twice in 1985: April 11th in Munich and the
>12th in Biberach, where I was able to speak shortly with Pete Goalby, Lee
>Kerslake & Mick Box.  These being the second and third times that I had
>seen the band after seeing them the first time in December, 1983 in the old
>Ulmer Donauhalle.
>
>So, I was rather surprised when I had heard that Pete would be leaving the
>band, and that the relative unknown Mr. Fontaine would be replacing him.
> There were actually tour posters hung for potential gigs with him that did
>not happen in November of 1985.
>
>Suffice it to say that by early 1986, Bernie had joined the band, and the
>rest, as they say, is history.  I did, however, stumble across Steff's
>MyPage, and was able to get a listen of four cuts from his band, "Heartache
>City".
>
>Stephen Fontaine, as he goes by these days, sounds to me like a Mark
>Slaughter/Robert Fleischmann-type singer on these songs.  Not exactly my
>cup of tea, but the three songs that I could hear do sound pretty decent.
> One could go here:  https://myspace.com/stefffontaine to check them out for
>yourself.  "Some Gotta Win" being the best, and "Thunder & Lightning"
>showing some of the "Journey" style vocals that he is known for.
>
>Keeping it real,
