Two of my favorite story tellers together in a big ol' super golden goodie of an episode!
In advance of his stop at Bo's on May 8, Randy Bachman called to chat about the vehicles that moved him, like a Rolls Royce Silver Dawn that came from Saskatoon, and a Thunderbird he bought from Burton Cummings, in the trunk of which they stored some newly recorded music which was almost lost to time. Find out what happened to the tapes, what keeps Randy running circles around most other people, and some memories about what touring as a musician was like way back in the day. I appreciated his openness, and this ended up being a chat unlike I've had before on Auto-Biography.

We also head back to Reynolds Alberta Museum to talk with Darren Wiberg about the most expensive and extensive restoration ever, the 1918 Winton Six. After travelling from Cleveland, to Hodgeville Saskatchewan, back to Cleveland, then back to Sask, then unto Calgary, the King of Cars, as it was marketed, was the subject of years of painstaking work, to get it to the state of breathtaking originality. Historian and technician Darren Wiberg takes us through the car's past, and why it's important to the history of Western Canada.
