Randy Bachman Jazzthing 2 - Toronto April 2007

[Robb9096]

Whenever I hear Jazz I think of CBC radio and my time in the north, pre Serius Radio (satelite), and at the same time I think of Randy Carney (Bachman). CBC Jazz is sewn/sown into Randy's heart, no doubt. What a great Canadian musician he is!

Johnny "Guitar" Watson recorded this song back in the '50's I think. Good tune.

Cool vid Mick. Let me know when ur out in Stratford.

Randy Bachman was always one of my favorite guitarist, he's tasty as hell, and always melodic.

No wonder he was so successfull.

Well that and determination.

thanks....

[DonsonDK]

Yeah, r.i.p. Jeff Healey, also a great musician

Isn't that the blind guy from the movie roadhouse?

[mickdallavee]

Yes and he just passed away earlier this year from cancer. It was cancer that blinded him when he was a young boy. Great talent, wonderful human and an all round huge loss for the world...

[pbrmotorsports]

My prayers go out to him his family and friends.

[JerseyBach]

Wow, I am convinced that Denise and Calianne are twins. Thanks for the post Mick. Looks like it was a fun time.

[mickdallavee]

It was amigo - a great time. Nice hooking up with you however brief in Alexandria Virginia. I understand you were at the New Jersey July 4th show too - but of course I couldn't see you...where were you positioned from my side of the stage?

[JerseyBach]

Yes Mick, we made it to the Cooper River show, I even scored some tee shirts that I couldn't find on Randy's site. We were sitting on Colin's side of the stage, near the dude that looked like Tommy Chong. HE was hard to miss. It was a sea of "humanity" I wonder if the video feed from the show will be available, I guess I have some checking to do. Also realized I spelled Callianne wrong, sorry Calli.

Why do I love Randy Bachman?

Thanks for the video....

Randy Bachman is such a delight. My absolute favorite thing he has ever done is the volume swells on his Gretsch electric in the BTO song "Lookin' Out For #1. That was it, man. But he's always played well...it all fits like a glove.

[JamesEdwinJones]

I loved BTO when I was a teen growing up listening to Randy's stuff. GREAT STUFF! The only regret I have about what they did is that Randy was far greater a guitar player than he actually was with BTO. HE'S A GREAT PLAYER! This 'jazzthing' proves it even more. Man this guy's versatile. THIS IS A WONDERFUL RECORDING. Randy - you are incredible.

Randy Bachman is a great guitar player!! The 70's would not the same without BTO and Bachman's performances!! About the jazzthing, listen Blue Collar and Look for #1!!!
