Lots of good stuff from North of the border!!!!

Here's a sleeper band: Lighthouse

I like their One Fine Morning and Pretty Lady  :D  Did they also do a song called Sunny Days?  ???

I also think the Guess Who is underrated.  Other 70's Guess Who gems: No Time, Hand Me Down World, Star Baby, Albert Flasher, Clap For The Wolfman.  I know I forgot some.  ::)

And major Kudos to Gordon Lightfoot, too!

What? No Neil Young?


I do like both Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot and it doesn't matter what song it is, I like it all.

It was the first song I ever leared to play on the guitar - depressing as it is, we would sit at the cottage, drink beers and play the song all night! Fond memories of forgotten days    :)

-Carefree Highway
