Re: The Rock & Roll Musical Obscurity Thread

Does anyone remember this band? They were around in the late 60's-early 70's and only made 4-5 albums. I think they were from Louisiana.

Re: 5.5 earthquake in Ottawa Canada

I live in north-central Ohio and felt it here. I was in my computer chair and felt it moving. Looked up and saw the recliner rocking and the floor lamp was moving. The shake lasted about 20 seconds.
