Randy Bachman is appearing Wednesday Jan. 16th at the Fabulous Fargo Theatre.
Randy, one of the founding members of "The Guess Who" from Winnipeg, gives us some wonderful rock and roll stories from the past. He was on his way to Moorhead to see Buddy Holly when he while listening to then KXGO, got word of the plane crash that killed Buddy, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens.
We talked about his song "Prairie Town" that warms the hearts of many who live in the Midwest.
Elvis and Randy's song "Takin' Care of Business"
and his latest project "By George, By Bachman". Some of the greatest songs written by the "quiet" Beatle George Harrison. Songs during his Beatles era, solo career and even one from the Traveling Wilburys.
During our chat we got a few, for lack of a better term "Easter Eggs" that every Beatles and Harrison should try to catch; (One hint: listen for the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night"
"By George, by Bachman" is available pretty much anywhere for download, BUT at the show copies on CD and Vinyl!!!
BTW Randy's radio show "Vinyl Tap" is heard by millions on the CBC and Sirius Radio.
