The Guess Who are a Canadian rock band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1965.
The band originated in 1962 and achieved an international hit single with a cover of "Shakin' All Over" in 1965 under the name Chad Allan and the Expressions. After changing their name to the Guess Who, they found their greatest success in the late 60s and early 70s, under the leadership of singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, with hit songs including "American Woman", "These Eyes", "No Time" and many others.
During their most successful period, the Guess Who released eleven studio albums, all of which reached the charts in Canada and the United States. They may be best known for their 1970 album American Woman, which reached no. 1 in Canada and no. 9 in the United States, while five other albums reached the top ten in Canada. The Guess Who charted fourteen Top 40 singles in the United States and more than thirty in Canada.
The Guess Who was disbanded by Cummings in 1975, though bassist Jim Kale and/or drummer Garry Peterson have toured and recorded under the Guess Who name since 1977, frequently with no other original band members involved.

This brings back many memories with this music such as,"These eyes", only my self did not know of the band's name. The drive from Regina, Saskatchewan was very boring whilst through those miles and miles of flat lands to Vancouver. It would have been much less time and money to take a flight, but then, no adventure..
With the man finding his guitar after such a long number of years of 40, what a story..

Karl,
Sounds like driving through parts of the Netherlands. I always try to drive through forest area's or area's with some diversity, but you can't alwaus chose your way.
Cheers,
Pieer
