So Long, Bannatyne (1971) What Were Those Guys Smoking?By request. The first in a series of stoner strange Guess Who albums, light on hits (none, in this case) but filled with WTF? fun. Fair-weather fans seeking radio friendly material like "Share The Land" and "American Woman" just didn't know what to make of curious, semi-comic diversions like "Fiddlin'" and "Rain Dance," but 70s types who sa...

Thanks for your help. Thus far I have rebooted, Deleted the internet files cache,reported problem to MOG,refreshed page, opened into differant tabs at same time, selected text while publish button says please wait. I did all this before I made my post so I wouldn't make erronous comments. Thought I'd leave a picture of one of my paintings this time
