In early 1970, Hannah left Pig Iron to play bass in Chopping Block. We recruited Peter Valentine on piano and vocalist Fred Dugdale and continued gigging every weekend. On the May long weekend in 1970, we were booked to play the Niverville Pop Festival, but torrential rain shut down the outdoor event just before we were set to go on. Our last gig together was at the Love-In festival at Assiniboine Park in June.
