Burton Cummings and the Guess Who were/are great.

They have so many great hit songs that it is hard to believe. I saw them in Barrie Ontario on a reunion tour way back when ever one time and we had great seats up front and they played awesome song after awesome song. I remember Burton's voice being very strong and Randy Bachman (Big ole Randy) doing a great job on guitar.

A few weeks back a friend of mine in Edmonton called me and told me a good story about how they had just seen Burton play a show at some local casino and he said it was a great show... and then after the show my friend spotted Burton sitting in the casino by a slot machine signing some stuff for fans, answering various questions and said Burton was a nice normal guy hanging out and chatting.

I think my favorite Guess Who song right now is Rain Dance

...although they have so many songs my favorites rotate.


Yes, he is very normal.

No, sweetie. Citizens of the United States of America are Americans. Many Europeans call the United States "America" which is a different thing than "North America" or "South America." Canada is decidedly not in America! Please don't give me an aneurism before I get out of bed! winking smiley

Thanks Roller, the interview was excellent. I have seen Burton a couple times
in the last three or four years and he really delivers a fine show. He obviously
still enjoys performing and appreciates his fans.

I hope not, but you never know. I'm sure a lot of performers or their people do regular web searches for mentions. How many mentions does someone like that possibly get?

His Facebook page is better than most, and he's something of an insomniac, so if you're up late, he'll probably be grateful to have someone to talk to.

[www.facebook.com]

I was about to say, he's quite active and very nice and cordial on Facebook. Sad to read he wasn't always like that.

He says he has 110k followers on FB. It doesn't matter to him, the numbers, and he's very nice to his fans. And, The Stones connection.....Ernie Cefalu.

One of my earliest, fondest memories of childhood was the complimentary 8-track that came with my parents' 1970/71 Oldsmobile 88 .. With the song, These Eyes.
I must have heard that song dozens of times on our first family road trip to California that year..
And of course, later I loved all those great hits.. She's Cone Undone, Laughing..
Anyone remember BC's solo single, Stand Tall.. My older cousin had that album

OH, you're confusing America the country, with North and South America the continents...that explains it!

PS, you're located in Europe, or more properly Eurasia as technically the whole thing is one distinct land mass.

Anyway, glad to have cleared that up for you! smileys with beer

I know! We have a song and a flag and everything. A guy who sits in a little hut at the border and checks you out before he lifts the gate and let's you in... It's called a "country" and we're usually real nice. Usually... (We're still a little embarrassed about burning down the White House while whupping the US during the War of 1812. That was a bit out of character.)
