Didn't he also used to work at The Palace in Guelph (while he was going on school)?
The Lyric was definitely the place to be back in the day. I was 15 the first time I saw Chris Sheppard there, I still remember the intro and the first track he played.. Tree Frog by Hope!:)

It's okay, you guys need to know my connections here, that's important. Yes he did work at The Palace in Guelph. The Palace was owned by the same owner as the Lyric. DJ KC (Walter) was Tony Monaco's main DJ for a long time as well. He was also Canada's first live to air DJ, at the clubs. Him and Monaco essentially paved the path for Shep with the live to air stuff.
He was also part of the Pirate Radio crew in Kitchener. The first few hours of Saturday nights were live from Metro, and Walter was spinning for about a half an hour to an hour while the crew got set up at the Lyric. I was often bouncing back and forth between the two clubs on Saturday nights. Whenever you heard "Nightcrawlers - Push the Feeling on" was usually when Walter started. That was and still is his favorite track.
Walter also owned his own label. He helped pushed a lot of the freestyle stuff out for Monaco and friends.
