SURREY (CP) — When Robbie Bachman recounts his
part in the rise and-fall of the rock band Bachman-Turner
Overdrive, his story isn’t unlike a television mini-series with
all the trimmi:

and even an action-packed accident

Bachman, now,80, was in his late teens when he was the
drummer of the fledging Winnipeg band. He first tapped
stick to skin on drums belonging to Gary Petersen of The
Guess Who. Canada’s first band to score big south of the
border also included Bachman's older brother, Randy.

“I remember Gary saying, ‘Hey, this kid can play
drums,’ ” recalls the younger Bachman, interviewed in his
large tudor-style mansion here. Rr ar

After Guess Who disbanded in 1970, Randy recruited
then pimply-faced 18-year-old Robbie Bachman, an undis-
tinguished guitarist named Fred Turner, and -formed ‘a;
straight-ahead rock and roll band called Brave Belt. After a
slow start the group moved to Vancouver, changed its name |

to Bachman-Turner Overdrive and scored its first big hit, “|
Let it Ride in 1973. “yr

BAND PEAKED
In its three peak years (1974-76) BTO recorded a string -
of hits, won a jumble of Junos and established itself as a
first-class concert act. 1 i

BTO's Graeme Wayniark, who
the band on several tours, says Robbie Bachman was treated |

badly by other members of the group. He was always being |

put down and always referred to as “the kid.” -

Waymark says Bachman might have been the most
creative of all the members, but he was constantly frus-
trated.

But that’s not exactly how Bachman sees it.

“T'll go and watch a film we made of one of our tours,”
Bachman says, “and it seems to me it was nothing but fun:”

Fun in a lot of ways, because according to Waymark,
Bachman was like a kid in a candy store.

‘Waymark says Bachman once ordered a Sherman tank
from a war surplus distributor, but Waymark nixed the deal.
Fellow BTO member Blair ‘Thornton remembers how

stage mock raids on his six-hectare property. ~

“But he soon found out there were by-laws about
shooting guns other than shotguns,” Thornton says. “And
that put an end to that. Later he built a barn and had a
shooting gallery in there.”

In 1976 Bachman flipped a go-kart on his property,

hing his knee-cap'and separating his shoulder. But the

CTV president Murray

shows represented only one
station selection, not the net-

some of the shows listed
were not distributed by the
CTV network.

‘The channel ‘mouitored,
CFTO in Toronto, was rank-

networks because “they are
pulling in the worst of the
violence of different network
offerings,” said Toronto psy-

All but one of the shows in

The evaluation of Canadian

“Only six per cent of CTV's
prime time was documentary

an Academy Award nomination. ‘

They agree Randy is more serious, though each is ready

easier; smarter people usually take things easier,” Dennis
says.

“I think you're alike. “Yes, I got all the looks,” says
Randy. Later, when the Barrymore family is mentioned, he

moved to New York six months ago and looked for a stage
role.

He made his New York acting debut in off-Broadway’'s

Randy, his wife, Ella, and six-month-old, Amanda,

February or longer if no compelling projects surface.

Both are reading scripts. Dennis's are potential
follow-up films to The Right Stuff. Randy says. “All of mine

the world and hating themselves. I don't know what people
