Walked by the big red corner house on Vancouver’s Semlin Drive recently and I told my daughter about the Bennett family who used to live there, as well as filmmaker Teresa Alfeld next door. We then decided to watch the film again. It’s a 10-star rock documentary. What a life, what an amazing piece of Vancouver history. And the music still holds up strongly. 👏🏻
