Hey all,

I just read that Robbie Bachman has passed away at 69...He was Randy Bachman`s brother and was drummer for the Canadian band BTO...

This last week has not been kind to the music industry...First, Jeff Beck passed, then Lisa Marie Presley and now Robbie!!

My condolences to Robbie`s family and friends...

RIP

Cheers

First time I realized he was drumming in BTO. Should have been paying more attention. Very interesting that he appears to have only been involved where his brother was also in the band. Good drummer with a life too short by most current measures.

I saw BTO as second on the bill to Mott the Hoople/Ariel Bender on strings but still good,and a band called Aerosmith opened to show.This was at winterland..BTO rocked so hard and the songs got faster and louder by the time the last song was over and rob jumped over his bass drum the 6,000 or so hippies were left in stun mode.BTO walked off stage and for about 30 seconds you could hear a pin drop,then people started clapping ,,then everybody was hootin and hollerin' there was to be no encore this night.
