    My band opened up for The Guess Who in 1992, when I was 20 years old. Not really knowing their music and only having heard clips of their songs on the “Freedom Rock” commercials on MTV, I asked their guitar player at sound check, (singing) “These Eyes, these eyes have seen a lot of…”, “seen a lot of what?” And he stopped, looked me dead in the eyes, and said “Smoke.” And kept on walkin’. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The likes of 'Wolman Jack" are the Kings of mixing heart and soul with the music. Plus,,, Inventing these Tremendous Characters so many of us grew up adoring, and aspiring to be! 😊 RIP WOLFMAN.,, and all those who came before, These Colorful DJ's opened the floodgates for Entertainment, and Worldwide connections. Some of us still remember,,,,and will always love you Big Brother. Great song Burton!!

    Canadian musical perfection live, on the massively popular USA music show Midnight Special. Just like in America, Canadians would stay up late to see one of the only music TV shows available at that time. Canada's Guess Who appeared many times on the show, including this date March 29, 1974 as hosts. Hope to see more Guess Who appearances including this full show where they played: "American Woman," "Star Baby," "These Eyes," "Clap for the Wolfman"" & "Hand Me Down World".
