[@dylan-reece]

Rest in Peace Miles. Thank you for the great Memories. you were a true inspiration .

[@GearJamminSalmon]

I smiled big for Myles. What a story! He deserved that so much...and I'm thrilled he got to enjoy his final years with it. That is a Rock story for the ages.

[@lucienrobidoux3692]

Great stuff, Myles....we all have that one guitar that will never be replaced.

[@mode1charlie170]

Great to see them reunited again!

[@brucecampbell9852]

[@rickflippin1]

[@janetgowdy5822]

Played at the Commodore Hotel in Kingston in my teens and will be the big 60 soon. Great memories Great Group . Will listen to them for many years to come . Thanks

[@ericmartinez6692]

This is an amazing story!🙏

[@OkieMikester]

Wow. Saw them open for Rush in the early 80's. Great show!

[@robbierussell9536]

Always loved April WINE 🍷..the baddest band in Canada. I'm very happy MILES got her back. I lost my melody maker and my S 1 in a crash also. Never recovered 😪

[@Billykid514]

Left us hanging on the full story

[@kissed61]

I would love to hear the full story.

[@bradkoski]

Such a great story……….April Wine was and always will be epic!!!

[@thereforeayam]

"say hello"....😢...goodbye, Myles

[@GearJamminSalmon]

You just made me weep again sayin' that...I don't mind that I was 14 when I first heard April Wine...or that I'm 57 now...but to know someone so talented and good is gone hurts. I felt the same way when Neil Peart passed...and Dwight Twilley died of either a massive stroke or the resultant car crash two months back. Memories, all...good ones. In time, the pain will wear down but the good never will. Thank God for that much.

[@stevem9766]

The Great Myles Goodwyn . A gift to music . In April Wine .

[@briankoski2532]

That's way-cool. After all those years he finally got his guitar back.

[@jonbarr9195]

That is a cool lookin guitar and can definitely relate to it being a sentimental thing. Glad you got your baby back. Thanks for all the albums and wonderful music!!

[@toddmiller6710]

My favorite band seen them 7 different concerts

[@definitiveenergy1878]

RIP Miles. Saw you at Busch stadium, just a punk kid in 1980 (by myself) and not familiar with this area, great concert! My 1936 Epiphone arch top in Santo Tomas, BC, MX-mint condition-she was stolen after I crashed my car.

[@dappawap]

I would love to hear the whole story how it got fixed how he got it back...

[@jamescooke725]

Fantastic story! Great band and front man :)

[@mikemccag]

such a cool guy

[@Criminal.Lawyer]

Count on the CBC not to tell us or ask him to tell us any of the interesting details of how it went missing and what happened once he got the Facebook message.

[@monsterzero1965]

Awesome band I was there in 80s with Nature of the Beast

[@rev.farmer7649]

Great story ✌🏼&♥️

[@bakstabbath]

Awesome news!

[@stefanheintzelmann5744]

Pretty Cool! That's life, always crazy..! ☝🏻🎸🎸🎸

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

You & Pete Frampton got the ax back . At least it is back where it belongs.

[@paulkelloway8641]

And another Canadian Randy Bachman had his guitar stolen and it ended up in Japan. It was gone for a long time He got it back not too long ago.😊

[@fredwalt2282]

Better late than never !!

[@christinepeniaranda8484]

Nice!

[@season63]

he called it best a mans guitar is his baby like the cowboy and his horse glad he found it back...

[@wabankik]

Lol, throughout this seg I thought nevermind his melody maker, what exactly happened the the Goya "sparkle" and towards the end he actually has it displayed, also historic merit, but it is a happy conclusion his Gibson did make it back!

[@deliman7203]

Same thing happened to Peter Frampton's guitar. is there a guitar kidnapping ring out there...lol

[@samslick9000]

Randy Bachman, too

[@johnminx2133]

Back to it's rightful owner! I'm glad!!! ;)

[@dianethibeault208]

HOW WHY WHO

[@muddshshshark]

so wtf happened to it?? why how etc???

[@bboooobbyy]

Mud Sh-sh-shark somebody at the scene of the accident stole it and it probably passed through various unscrupulous hands over the years.

[@Craig-dq5cu]

Yeah what happened????

[@dianethibeault208]

ARE U KIDDING

[@Craig-dq5cu]

"You walked rigjt outta my hrart"

[@GearJamminSalmon]

-"I don't care...", "HE DON'T CARE!"..."I don't care."- He cared.

[@fuzzybutkus3951]

Billie Gibbons another Melody Maker player.

[@dannyespinosa3978]

That story is just like Peter Frampton Phantom lost his guitar on a plane crash and found the years later on eBay

[@ryandeanlindgren9054]

😮

[@boydmking1]

April Wine sounds delicious. Literally . . .

[@wilburwokeii8298]

Dead?

[@jaytodd5809]

Ah..he should have been plugged in for that..!

[@dianethibeault208]

ID SAY EVERY OTHER LANGUSAGE BUT I DONT KNOW IT LOL TRAGIC THHAT REMINDS ME OF A SONG

[@colinstuckless9209]

Great story. Reminds me of Billy Corgan's Gish guitar coming back to him after 27 years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/earNc3ejesh-d6c

[@hartleyroadmusic]

Myles is holding the guitar in 1979 at the 00:33 mark. Notice the same shirt, wardrobe, hair, and age as the photos on the back cover of Harder... Faster. He probably lost the guitar at the earliest, in 1980. At 2:04 when he's talking about all the great hits that the guitar missed... he's either lying or completely forgot that the guitar was still very much in his possession.

[@samslick9000]

You must be mistaken

[@hartleyroadmusic]

@@samslick9000 Nope. There are dozens of examples proving my point.

[@docsava]

You're right and wrong. It does appear to be the same shirt in the photo of him holding the guitar but, it was either a favorite shirt and he may have had many or he's drinking a really old 7up because that 7up can is from 1972 and was no longer around in 79 and up. So there's absolutely no reason to doubt the photo is from that time. I had a few favorite shirts that performed in and wore them on and off for over ten years.

[@hartleyroadmusic]

@@docsava you’re confused. There are lots of photos that have been revealed of Myles with this guitar in the very late 70’s. Do a little more research before you accuse someone of being wrong.

[@GearJamminSalmon]

@@hartleyroadmusic -- You have no proof. Go write a 9-11 thriller and try to pass it off as fact.

[@freddycookjr.2164]

joe perry lost a paul slash returned it lol

[@dianethibeault208]

THIS IS INSULTING

[@dianethibeault208]

DING DING DING DINNER DONE OH GOD

[@GearJamminSalmon]

So, your dinner comes in a $10, 5-litre box. Stellar. You know where to shove it on yourself.
