You know, from time to time, you'll hear me say, "The best songs of today are the memories of yesterday".
And you know exactly what I mean if you're a regular listener to this radio station.
You have the opportunity to hear some of those songs live tomorrow night at Regina's Brandt Centre as BTO brings their "Back in Overdrive" tour to Saskatchewan.
The Headpins and April Wine are on the tour. You'll know every song they play.
I've seen both of those bands before and they're awesome.
The first time I ever went to a rock concert was with my big brother. I think it was 1974 when BTO, one of the hottest rock acts in the world at the time, played at the old Regina Exhibition grandstand. As I recall, there were about 4000 seats and estimated attendance was 11,000.
It was a little overwhelming for a 9 year old kid but it's a night I'll never forget.
Randy Bachman was 30 years old that summer. He's 81 years old now and still rockin'!
How cool it that?
