Any other Canadians (or others, on Sirius) listen to this on CBC Radio on Saturday nights? Randy Bachman, oF Bachman Turner Overdrive and the Guess Who, sits around playing records and telling stories about the songs and the artists, many of whom he's known personally. It's always entertaining, but tonight's show, (Nov 27) was especially good - he talks about how they came to write "American Woman" while playing a show onstage, where the bassline on "Day Tripper" came from, etc.

It's fairly common for me to be doing a long lonely drive on Saturday nights, so I end up listening to this show a lot - anybody else out there who is a fan?

It doesn't look like there is a podcast, but you can listen to the most recent broadcast through your computer. He's always got a guitar in the studio with him, and will demonstrate the riffs he's talking about.
