ROCKOLLECTIONS: BTO A-OK PT.2 END

To bring us back from the break, I couldn’t resist saying what I did.
Seems I never resist saying things, lol!
I had a song I wanted to play by BTO because I liked the band’s playing on it- once again, the band’s jazzy overtones or undertones or some kind of tones.
Not so much the lyrics though, they seemed rather…well I’ll let you hear me have some fun getting on myself for putting on an air.
It is my considered opinion, I do not look good in airs- immediately took the damn thing off, lol!
Anyway, the song may be like nothing you have ever heard from Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Then a huge hit written by Randy Bachman 8 years before, when he was a member of the Guess Who.
Although with different lyrics based on a DJ’s expression.
Then of course, there was the usual matter of band decomposition- as the 2 other brothers asked the third, Robbie, to leave.
That’s gotta hurt!
BTO always liked the old Rock & Roll- Elvis and the Stones, and came along at just the right time.
They brought guitar-rock back, and called it Workingman’s Rock & Roll!
