Attention "Born to be Wild" Motorcyclers

While looking to find out where hawa was (it's in Canada), I came across a list of notables from that town.  And among them were the Edmonton brothers who were born there: Dennis and Jerry.

These boys became rock and rollers, joining a band called the Sparrows there which later had one John Kay join them and they went on to become Steppenwolf.  Dennis Edmonton wrote the rock and roll classic "Born to Be Wild."  But had left the group by the time this song hit it big.  But brother Jerry stayed with the group.
