Tim Bachman of BTO passed at 71

Guitarist from Bachman Turner Overdrive was added to the growing list of lost musicians last Friday. He had been fighting cancer and succumbed just a few days ago April 28th. BTO was a big influence on my rock tastes in music and it saddens me to see so many of my generation passing. Not that they were still making music, but that an era that contributed to my love for music is closing each year.

@audioman58   "Randy Bachman was he main talent"

True, but the one immortal cut is "Blue Collar," written and performed by Charles Turner, with an extraordinary jazz guitar break from Bachman.

Otherwise, calling the President a "senile pervert" is completely out of order. Biden's performance at the WH Correspondent Dinner dispelled any charges of senility, and the "pervert" bit is outright slanderous. BASED ON WHAT? No reputable forum can allow defamation of this kind go unchallenged.

Once you post any political realms, you just lost all credibility with any and all who disagree with you. Why would you bring that to an audio forum?

Good question.

I also belong to the Acoustic Guitar Forum. Either it's rigorously moderated or folks over there are actually more interested in talking about guitars than trading insults. (What a concept!)  I've perused it pretty much every day over the course of a year and have yet to encounter a single political reference.
