Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, the guitarists, get all the accolades for this one, but a Canadian fellow from Bombay named Prakash John is the bass player. Listen to the bass player.
Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Theme by Anders Noren — Up ↑
I’m lucky enough to have met Prakash on a few occasions, classiest man in Rock&Roll. He played with Lou reed, Alice Cooper (in his prime), Parliament…..Gretzky’s wedding, and he is a teetotaler so his stories aren’t so foggy. Cool looking mofo also… https://youtu.be/p2l-jCADEgY

Wow. This is the prototype for Punk Rock. Also I don’t think heterosexuals were legally allowed to have that hair and mustache combination after 1976.
toronto soul connection, played with George Olliver

there is a gold 45 of this on the wall in my Mom’s simulated woodgrain paneled basement.
Nice,didn’t Bush(not the 90s alt rock one for the younger enthusiasts) for out of the ashes of Mandala? he plays around Toronto with The Lincolns, they are a great funk/soul band.
Apparently auto correct doesn’t recognize the word form.
yes & I think it really comes back to Etobicoke where I believe most of them were from. Mimico for the Older Enthusiasts.
we can’t forgot the Hamilton connection. Jackie Washington, Harrison Kennedy

Mimico next stop, Mimico…. 19 and older for the younger enthusiasts.
stand clear of the folding doors please.
i have friends in Bronte, when i’m in town to visit, i always go past this joint on the train. wonder what the stories there are? anyone live above it? if i lived nearby, i’d probably be a regular.
Bronte nice! My cousins live in Oakville and when we were young we used to score hash in Bronte and paddle up and down the crik and down by the pier.
I’ve never been in the Blue Goose but it’s been there for 100 years.
there’s Steelhead in the crik. near impossible to catch here on the west coast, but thicker than flies in Lake Ontario. maybe it’s the Hash that ended up in the crik.
The steelie run is great in the Bronte and 16 mile crik, there’s brown trout too (although not as plentiful).

If you were writing a book about a rock band and you gave them all these names . . .
Lou Reed – vocals
Pentti “Whitey” Glan – drums
Steve Hunter – guitar
Prakash John – bass
Dick Wagner – guitar
Ray Colcord – keyboards
. . . then your editor would say “That’s ridiculous, no one’s gonna buy that . . . . Go try again, with a believable combination of real world names . . . “
I am still a 12 year old at heart…..Dick Wagner hee hee hee
I saw Prakash a few years back at the blues fest on our little isle, and I even drove by gretzkys wedding by accident when he was coming down the steps. Fella from me hometown Regina by the name of jack Semple was the fantastic guitar player in the band (whatever they were called, the Lincolns?) back then for the weddin but sadly not when I saw them recently.
The whole shows from rock and roll animal have recently come out in the right order if you know where to look.
I think his son is playing guitar for them now. Lincolns are a great band.
Wrong, his kid plays drums I guess.
