Randy Bachman

A couple of weeks ago, our #FridayFeeling was Chet Atkins playing The Entertainer. It got such a great response that this week, we're playing Classical Gas. The tune was envisioned to be "fuel" for the classical guitar repertoire and originally performed by American guitarist Mason Williams in 1968. Here, Chet plays for the show Nashville Now in the late 80's. Have a great weekend, everyone! #guitar #chetatkins #classical #NewMusic #fyp

#AskRandy Mike Jackson asks: How did you come up with the name The Guess Who? Did someone call you one day on the phone and say guess who? Hi Mike, Nope. It was a trial and error process of naming our first band. Here’s the full story. Cheers! #GuessWho #Rocknroll #storytime

"No Time" was another landmark song for The Guess Who, our third million seller in North American which also charted abroad. Burton Cummings and I were looking for a rock song to follow "These Eyes". Impressed by the country-rock style of bands like Buffalo Springfield, I created a riff inspired by their song "Hung Upside Down" and took it to him. We wrote the song together during one of our regular Saturday morning songwriting sessions at his mother's house. The distortion sound from my '59 Gibson Les Paul, a Herzog amp and a whammy bar, combined with Burton's incredible voice took it to #1. I have often said that when we wrote music together, we created something much bigger than the sum of our parts, and that was the case again with this song. #rocknroll #Canada #TheGuessWho #NoTime #Throwback #ClassicRock @Burton Cummings

#AskRandy: Kelly Deveau asks: Do you get goosebumps hearing a particular song you’ve written on the radio? Hi Kelly, A few days ago I was clicking around while driving and TCB was on the Classic Rock station and yes, I still feel the thrill that people are rocking out in their cars all these years later. The glow really never wears off that my dream of being a musician came true. It's really incredible. Video: 1975 #fyp #music #radio #tcb #bto
