Upper top left ( lead guitar ) Bill Hardie...( drums ) Roland Hardie...its a blast playing with the Hardie brothers every Sunday morning.
Formed in Edmonton in 1963, Willie And The Walkers were known for their visual stage presence which focused on their two identical guitars. As their popularity grew in the Prairies they were able to do opening slots for the likes of Paul Revere & The Raiders, Cream, and The Guess Who.
In 1967 they were signed to Capitol Records and released several singles recorded by Buddy Holly producer Norm Petty. The most successful of these was "(Alone) In My Room" which reached number one nationally across Canada in January 1968.
Ooooops....of course, this was all before my time!
