Rick Haynes actually played little on that album. Upright/acoustic bassist Junior Husky played along with electric bassist Henry Strezelecki. I am struggling with the spelling of Henry's last name, but I believe he is the one who played on "Summer Side Of Life" as well as "10 Degrees and Getting Colder" and "Cabaret".

Gord's bass player has long been a pet peeve of mine. Rick Haynes is a competent bass player, but I believe he pales in comparison to other bassists that have been employed. John Stockfish absolutely caught my attention with his lines. Tom Szcesniak (sp) on "Endless Wire" is another.
