"Dad taught me everything I know," the Wonder Kid said modestly. "I just gave him the recipe," declared the elder Wilson. "He‘s the one whose got to do all the cookin‘ ." Just so. Wilson began his drumming career back in the 1950s when his father signed him up for the local drum corps sponsored by the Police Service. For four years, he learned the essential "rudiments" of precision drumming. Gradually, he developed an interest in jazz and began to study the work of drumming greats like Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, and Max Roach. As a young teen, his mother would take him to the old Brant Inn on the Lakeshore Road in Burlington, where bands led by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Woody Herman would play. Louis Armstrong, too. Wilson would sneak back stage and watch the drummers with hungry eyes. During the breaks, he‘d ask them questions about technique and style. According to the drumâ€"master, "The guys were really helpful. It was a way of getting private lessons for free. They were some of the finest jazz musicians in the world, but they couldn‘t do enough for this pushy litâ€" tle kid." At Blakelock, Wilson met up with a "very, very cool" music teacher, John Hood, still a dear friend. He loved the music program, though he had less success in other subjects. Of course, he started a little rock band of his own (that‘s a given). When he was in Grade 12, Steve‘s family moved back into Toronto and the new school environment was too much for the rebellious young musiâ€" cian. He joined a fiveâ€"man rock group called "Passing Fancy" and hit the road. The group made some records, according to the drummer, had a couâ€" ple of hits, and played some big places like Expo ‘67. These were exciting times. The boys lived "a hippy life in Yorkville." (Details withheld.) After Passing Fancy had run its course, Wilson signed on with yet another rock group called the "Paupers". Things evolved, the drummer evolved, too; whatever, his next move as to exit mainâ€"stream rock entirely and try his hand at jazz. Music is one of those lifeâ€"time activities, he mused. "You never outâ€" grow it, and you‘re never too old." Fon Steve, it is a passion; it shapes his perâ€" sonal reality, infuses his ego, and paints his life. Why he left it for six years in the ‘80s to become an execuâ€" tive "headâ€"hunter" is not clear. money? More sensible hours? A;~ healthier lifestyle? He does not say. :; Asked how a musician‘s lifestyle impacts on family; however, he, answers, "The Ward and June Cleavers of the world died a long time ago. Women work. Men work. The demands on people have changed radâ€" ically just in the last five years. There is no job security â€" anywhere. You do what you have to do to make a living. Since returning to his musical roots, Steve has turned his talents to truly important things; particularly, he is finding teaching a rewarding and[ challenging pursuit. "I know I‘ m not one of the world‘ great drummers," he said, "but I‘ good â€" and I enjoy the teaching. Every kid is special in some way, and it‘s fun to see them grow â€" and gro up » In addition to his private students, he works with some groups within the school system. Currently, he is comâ€" posing an ensemble piece for a quarâ€" tet of drummers, "four very keen and talented guys." The ensemble will be choreâ€" ographed and incorporate both Indian and African rhythmic patterns, as well as, let the guys show off in some rockâ€"style solos. "I feel like I do make a difference with some kids," Wilson said. Imagine Life Without Glasses Or Contacts! Thousands of once nearâ€"sighted people now enjoy this freedom.
