Not an effort to thread-hijack (so, by default it IS a thread hijack), story tim with Uncle Fish...when we were living in Seattle, we would go to matinee movies at the theater in the basement of El Gaucho (usually to escape not having air conditioning when hot) and go upstairs for happy hour afterwards. One day, the bar was dead, with an older, rather large man and his partner at the bar, listening to a pretty good piano player.
The man noticed a rather large piece of jewelry on my hand (Mama used to make me wear it to fancy places, for better service). We talk about baseball for a while, and he asks how I like the piano player, because he was his manager (He was good). We started in on music. The guy at the bar looked familiar, but I didn't know why.
We got to the introduction stage, and were shaking hands as the guy said his name, I pretty much dropped his hand...Garry Peterson, the original and current drummer of the Guess Who. I stemmed my fan-boi, but asked him some questions..."Any chance of getting back together? Final tour?"...He said there was no chance, and also said that while the remaining living members were all on good terms, it had been hashed and re-hashed, and none of them wanted to be side-men, pay-wise, for the "Burton and Randy Show"...

These eyes, think you're full of shit.
No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature rocks about hard as anything ever recorded.
I can picture a young tween Race lighting a fresh joint in the basement to this track.
