“Undun” #22 11/29/1969

Here’s yet another case of a B-side getting substantial airplay and turning into a hit months after the A-side, “Laughing.” Randy Bachman of the Guess Who learned some jazzy guitar chords from one of his neighbors, Lenny Breau. Meanwhile, Burton Cummings (who played sax in an earlier band) learned to play the flute, which has similar finger techniques. The end result became a fixture on FM radio.
