Sometimes Lady Luck intervenes

Serendipity

Some projects succeed after meticulous planning, others succeed with just improvisation and blind luck as happened with the Canadian Rock Band, The Guess Who, about 1969. Just before the show, Guitarist Randy Bachman broke a string and was tuning it, in the process inventing a new riff and played it again. The band came to the stage and joined in, creating a jam session around the new riff. Lead singer Burton Cummings rushed onto the stage and improvised lyrics. Afterwards they realized they had a great song and found a boy on the front row who’d recorded it. American Woman was released in 1970, number 1 in USA and Canada. Great song, blues-rock.
