• The band Sound Spectrum featuring Bill Caldwell, Sandy MacKay, Dave Borland, Rob Oliver and Bruce Fleming was formed in 1966 in the tiny Ontario community of Ingersoll. By 1969 they had changed their name and moved to a city with a larger music scene - London, Ontario.
• With a slow and steady stream of performances in southern Ontario, the band began to gain notoriety for its "Keep On Truckin'" posters and bumper stickers. Soon, they began to push their boundaries into Quebec. Their biggest gig was the Rockwood Music Festival in Orangeville, Ontario before a crowd of 20,000 people. Other notable gigs included opening slots for ELP, Deep Purple and Fleetwood Mac. They released one album which spawned several singles and even managed to land a track on the ARC Records compilation disc promoting CanCon called 'Concept'. The group split up after a myriad of line-up changes.
