Forty years and counting

It's been forty-three years already since they first started performing in public and still Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings are filling stadia with music and entertaining thousands of fans.

The two musicians who were best known as parts of the Guess Who and BTO, where they began their musical careers were here last night to sing for local fans. The concert lasted almost two hours and was filled with music old and new, some of which are best known as the pieces that won fame and fortune for the Canadian musicians, and others which are hot off the press.

A nostalgic trip for some, and perhaps an eye opener for others, this was a wonderful opportunity to see that even despite the ravages of time, these guys and the members of their support band continue to attract crowds, and have the energy to continue sharing their gift of music with strangers and friends.

The music had barely died away before the equipment was packed up and the tour moved on ... next stop ... Kitchener, ON ... and on from there.
