Wood 'n Hannah Band: David Wood, John Hannah (of Harlequin fame!), Harvey Kostenchuk, and Bob Wallace.  I can see many of these fashion choices making a comeback but let's all agree that the shirt Mr. Wallace is rocking should remain in the past.

Jazz-rock band Zdenka: Steve Hegyi, Kerry Ladyshewsky, Danny Pelfrey, Greg Black, Glen Hall, and Bob Fuhr.  Apparently history has decided that the most awesome location to photograph rock bands (and jazz-rock bands) is the stairwell.

Winnipeg's Illustrated Rock History - Part 4

Continuing with our ever-popular Winnipeg rock history theme, I present one of the many incarnations of the popular Ukrainian cover band, the D-Drifters.  L-R: Tony Roman, Mike Klym, Dave Roman.  I need help identifying the guys on the far right.  Fun fact: Fred Turner of BTO was once a member.

And Crow Cuss! L-R: Hermann Fruhm, Greg Leskiew, Larry Pink, Marc LaFrance, and Bill Wallace.  Here is a recipe for awesomeness: Add equal parts coats with shorts, colourful knee-high socks, and tubas.  Mix well with 3 mustaches, 2 exaggerated hand movements, and 1 bad pun.  Voila!

Hat's off to Mayor Sharpe

Sure, as mayor of Winnipeg you're forced to wear many hats.  But George Sharpe took that notion to a very weird extreme.
