Living as close to Canada as I do (Michigan)  I’ve done a great deal of camping in Ontario.  Generally when we have gone we wait until we get to Canada to pick up the beer.  They offered certain selections that, shall we say packed a little more “punch” than what we could get in the [...]Related posts:The John Henrys- Sweet as the Grain

How does one define southern rock? Obviously, you must dig deeply into the early 1970’s where perhaps it was at its best, to obtain a true answer.
