Bill Priddle left Treble Charger three years ago.
And Greig Nori wound the rock band down in February of this year.
But the two former Treble Charger members were singing in the rain together for a photo shoot today, as they posed with their maple leaf marker on Sault Ste. Marie's new Walk of Fame.
SooToday.com caught up with them warm and dry inside the Steelback Centre as they made their way over to the alternate location for Walk of Fame ceremonies.
"It feels really good," said Nori. "But I'm still trying to figure out who nominated us."
Nori said he's doing his research to try to find the band's mystery nominator and thank the person or persons.
"This is awesome," said Priddle. "It's nice to be recognized."
Nori and Priddle left the Sault with Treble Charger in the early 80s but now say they might not have to leave so early in their musical careers if they were starting out today.
"If you want to be a musician in Canada you go to Toronto," said Priddle. "Now, with the Internet, it's easier to start up anywhere you want."
Priddle and Nori were recognized along with fellow former Saultite and Treble Charger member Rob "Rosie" Martin.
Priddle's now pursuing a solo career, while Nori manages Sum 41, fronted by Deryck Whibley, who together with his recently wedded bride Avril Lavigne is in the headlines today for horking loogies at the Hollywood paparazzi.

Also on hand at today's ceremony fellow inductees Joanie and Gary McGuffin, well-known adventurers.
