This morning there was a press release that personally, I found rather important. It was announced that Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman were coming to headline a show at Kemptville Live Music Festival in July. This pair is responsible for writing some of the most memorable songs in my life. Bachman and Cummings were a writing machine, producing hit after hit but it didn’t last long. For various reasons, Randy left The Guess Who to pursue other things. Both continued with their successes but I always wonder what would have become of The Guess Who if Bachman and Cumming could have held it together. I get that they can’t legally use the name “The Guess Who”, but in my mind, they were the nucleus of that band and principle songwriters as well. They are, to me, The Guess Who.
