Napster is around, but definitely not in its original form. The Burton CD is called Up Close and Alone. Around the time it came out, I had the pleasure of interviewing Gary Peterson, drummer and founding member of the Guess Who, for the radio station I worked for. The group had not reunited with Burton at the time and Gary commented that he felt it was a shame that Burton chose to record an album of Guess Who songs solo. The next year, of course, was the Running Back Through Canada tour, with Burton, Bachman, Peterson, Bill Wallace and Donnie McDougall. Since then, Cummings and Bachman have been touring together as Bachman/Cummings, choosing not to use the Guess Who moniker because original bassist Jim Kale owns the name and collects royalties for nothing (since he does not do large scale road work). Therefore, any band calling themselves the Guess Who nowadays, is a band that does not feature Burton.
