    Trippy opening to the video. Who was their vocalist? And how the hell are you?

    They had 2 in later days. The fat guy with the smooth voice was Sir Harry Bowens and the skinny guy with the raspy voice was Sweet Pea Atkinson. I've always loved those studio groups put together to not officially exist unless there was a demand to tour. I'm still alive and cruising online, swooping down to post occasionally. :thumbsup:

  2. I like their music, but then again I have no taste. :wacko:
    Walk The Dinosaur is their best known song, but I like Anything Can Happen and Knocked Down Made Small as well.

  3. One thing it does is get alot of blank pages that need refreshing.

    And error reporting and auto-updates can be construed as good, or you can decide they're dangerous like when Earthstation had an autoupdate feature. Depends on your politics. :)

  4. A guy from the US south found his way to Toronto and stayed. The rest is history.

    Several of Hawkins' Canadian bands and band members have had successful careers on their own, including And Many Others (as Crowbar), The Band, Robbie Lane and the Disciples, and (Jim) Atkinson, (Terry) Danko, and (Duane) Ford; the guitarists Terry Bush, Jack DeKeyzer, Mike 'Pepe' Francis, John Till, Pat Travers, and Dom Troiano; the pianists Richard Bell, Scott Cushnie, David Foster, Larry Gowan, and Stan Szelest; and the singers King Biscuit Boy, Beverly D'Angelo, David Clayton-Thomas, B.J. Cook, Jackie Gabriel, Tobi Lark, Bob McBride, and Jay Smith. Hawkins' son Robin (b Toronto 24 Dec 1964) was frequently his guitarist beginning in the 1980s, and his daughter Leah (b 30 July 1969) was his singer. Hawkins had a reputation for requiring his backup musicians to practise frequently and strenuously; this work ethic is thought to have been the catalyst behind the accomplished playing of many of his protégés.
