I'm from the city of Leeds in England. BTO are one of my favourite all time bands I have all six of their first studio albums also a box set with two additional albums. For some reason over here they never had any real success. Ain't seen nothing yet reached the top 20 here and not fragile also entered the album charts. I have Bachmann and turner's 2010 relise, Randy's Heavy blues album and a 40th anniversary album. Why they never hit the spot here is a mystery to me because rock music in the 70s was very popular here. I still play em regularly and love em. God bless Canada!!

milt You are correct. When Bachman was in the Silvertones, which later became the Guess Who, Young was in the Squires. This was around 1963 or 1964. Neil said the Silvertones were the biggest band in Winnipeg and that he would go to see them play because of Randy. Young didn't meet up with Ricky James Matthews until a year or two later and that is when Neil, at the urging of his friend, Joni Mitchell, and Mynah Birds Bassplayer, Bruce Palmer, joined the band in Toronto. But Randy was a huge influence on Neil, largely because of the way Bachman did his Solos.

What happened to Randy Bachman? He goes on oldies tours. And he hosted his own radio show on our Canadian public broadcaster, the CBC. It was great to listen to him tell stories about knowing the greats like Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin etc., and meeting other greats still alive on his tours. Burton Cummings was a successful solo artist. Both made up at some point. Because that's what good ole boys from Winnipeg do after so many years together. And, as a Canadian, I do pronounce RB's last name as Backman.
