TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS
Minnesota Premiere
From a young age, Canadian Randy Bachman dreamed of becoming a famous rock star. His aspirations took off when he invested in a 1957 Gretsch 6120 guitar, which seemed to have a magical quality that inspired him to write hit songs effortlessly. His bands, The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, became famous with chart-toppers like "American Woman" and "Takin' Care of Business," all written on that Gretsch guitar. Despite his success, his world came crashing down when the guitar was stolen in 1977, triggering a series of personal and professional setbacks.
The documentary film “Takin' Care of Business” explores the ups and downs of Randy's life, his relentless 45-year search for the stolen guitar, and his journey of hope, determination, and resilience. It ultimately leads to the guitar’s rediscovery by an internet sleuth, now owned by a Tokyo-based musician. Randy's story highlights themes of obsession, artistic inspiration, the enduring power of music, and overcoming adversity, all culminating in a reunion with his cherished instrument.
