Randy Bachman, Canada's Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame!

Back in high school in the 60's, Randy Bachman used to skip high school classes to play guitar with the yet unknown Lenny Breau. Many years later, Lenny's son Chet had his first exposure to guitar (believe it or not) through my brother Tim, who is clearly the most talented guitar player in our family.

Since I can't do it through music, I chose to pay homage to Randy Bachman through pop art - after all, he is a Canadian superhero and deserves his own splash page.

First with the Guess Who, who became one of the biggest selling groups in the world and then BTO, Randy penned dozens of classic rock songs and memorable lead riffs, including Taking Care of Business to American Woman.

This painting on a 24" x 36" gallery wrapped canvas was commissioned for the Sapphire Technologies Charity Auction in November of 2009. The painting is signed by the artist as well as Randy himself.
