One of the reasons we wanted to live in the Iowa Great Lakes region full time was for the access to a wide variety of live music.
Last year we went to the Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) concert in Okoboji. It was a blast and provides what I think is a good thought for us all to remember.
Randy Bachman’s unwavering passion for music is an inspiring testament to the enduring power of doing what you love.
At 79 years old, he continues to rock the stage, proving that age is no barrier when your heart is invested in your craft.
His dedication serves as a reminder that pursuing your passions can bring joy not only to yourself, but also to those who are fortunate enough to experience your artistry.
Bachman’s commitment to his music speaks volumes about the resilience and fulfillment that come from staying true to one’s creative calling.
By refusing to give up on his musical journey, he not only reaps personal rewards, but also spreads happiness and inspiration to generations of fans.
His story encourages us all to keep pushing forward in the pursuit of our dreams, regardless of obstacles or time.
Don’t give up on pursuing your dreams and living your destiny. Live your purpose on purpose.
I’m cheering for you.
