You guys probably heard of Mahogany Rush... Directly from back home Montreal, here's Frank Marino.

Vocals suck, but man, the guitar part. That comes close at times...

Been a long, long time since I heard that band..probably mid-'70's radio on Alan Freeman's Saturday Rock Show. Sounding good though.

Yeah, Frank's awesome. Haven't heard him play in a long time.

I used to listen to Robin Trower a lot too. He came close at times too.

Wow! Been a very long time since I heard him play. Monster! I thought he was in his 70's by now. Thanks for posting this Rain!

Kind of funny.  I've been gathering all the genres that apply along with countries for all of the artists I need to import into Media Monkey (over 1,500 new ones) and I was just on Frank's when I saw this link.  Then, in another forum, someone posted THIS LINK.
 
I guess the Universe is telling me that I should be listening to some Mahogany Rush!

He certainly did..

Twofer..

I saw Mahogany Rush play at the jacksonville civic auditorium, in 1978.
 
an excellent concert.
 
 

Ok, that was really bad James!
