Hi there! Hope everyone out there is eh-ok. I would LIKE to finish off this, and some of my other music-related series in the next week or so.. But let's see what happens (staying optimistic here!) The band is BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive). They formed in Winnipeg, in the early 1970's, and had many different stints as a band, are no longer active, as of 2/3 years ago. One of the key members of the band, Randy Bachman, can be noted to have been in the band The Guess Who, and left that band at its peak in success, many believe. Some noted facts about BTO, are: they have sold 30 million albums worldwide, they have sold 7 million albums in the '70's alone, and their fans are usually known as "gearheads" .. Below, I am linking one of the bands' songs for you. Enjoy!

Yes, love that song. Why do Americans talk so much smack about Canadians. Have so much in common. lol Maybe that is why.

Much agreed! :) Yeah, nothing like blasting some nice loud tunes in the car, classic rock is good for that kind of thing, especially!
