Friday Music

Composed by guitarist Randy Bachman and lead singer Burton Cummings this song was released in November of 1969 by Canadian group The Guess Who. 

One of my all-time teenage dating favorites - this is basically a Dear John or Get Lost song.  I've long associated it with summer art camp at UW Wausau - and a garage band dance that included a friendly German girl.  But I digress.  The song peaked at No. 5 in the U.S. and was the third in a string of million-selling singles that all hit No. 1 in Canada for this rock band. 

This cover includes a slew of artists who convened at the Jazz Festival in Switzerland.  Including Ringo Starr, Burton Cummings, Joe Walsh and Todd Rundgren.  Also with Nils Lofgren, Dave Edmunds and Timmy B. Schmit.  Great stuff - with Walsh and Lofgren doing an impersonation of Randy Bachman. 

Crank the volume on your office workstation for No Time…..
