SUNDAY EVENING MUSIC

By Debbie Bulloch




For some odd reason, I am in a Canadian kinda’ mood. So I logged on to iTunes and downloaded music from two of my favorite Canadian rock bands, THE GUESS WHO and BACHMAN-TURNER-OVERDRIVE.

So here is some good old rock music to help you wind down Sunday and welcome the new work week (Yikes!!!).

THE GUESS WHO

One of my favorite all-time rock band is actually an Canadian export. “The Guess Who” were a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Produced by Jack Richardson, C.M., they were the first Canadian rock group to have a No.1 hit in the United States. The Guess Who started out as a local Winnipeg band formed by singer/guitarist Chad Allan in 1960. The band was initially called Al and the Silvertones. This was later changed to Chad Allan & the Reflections in 1962, by which point the band consisted of Chad Allan (vocals/guitar), Bob Ashley (keyboards), Randy Bachman (guitars), Jim Kale (bass), and Garry Peterson (drums). All the band members were born in Winnipeg. Randy Bachman would later start another famous rock band: Bachman-Turner-Overdrive (BT0).

Here are some of The Guess Who greatest hits (yes, I know that “American Woman” is not flattering to my fellow Americans, but it is still a catchy tune…so I will let it slide this time).

No Sugar Tonight



American Woman



No Time



These Eyes



BACHMAN-TURNER-OVERDRIVE (BTO)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive (frequently known as BTO) is another of my favorite rock bands. BTO was a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that enjoyed a string of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums just in that decade. The band has sold an estimated 20 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads." Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", and "Takin' Care of Business," receive frequent play on many FM classic rock stations.

Taking Care of Business



You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet



Let It Ride



At BH we aim to please. You ask for it, we play it for you. At Eli's request here is The Guess Who's UNDUN (with lyrics). This line from the song: "Too many lives to lead and not enough time," sounds like they are singing about an SL avatar with too many "alts."

Incidentally, Burt Cummings' voice is just amazing in this song.



UNDUN

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undun

Too many mountains, and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
Doe-doe-doe-doe-doe doe un doe-doe-doe un doe-doe-doe
Doe doe-doe-doe-doe un doe-doe-doe doe-doe-doe
Doe doe-doe-doe doe doe-doe-doe doe doe

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
No no-no-no-no-no no
Doe doe doe-doe
