Randy Murray is the latest member of Bachman-Turner Overdrive [1]. From 1989 to 1992 he taught music, did custom recordings and held a radio talk show in Prince George, British Columbia. From the late 1970s to 1989, Randy was a fixture on the B.C./Alberta music scene. He was a member of the BTO line-up (along with Blair Thornton, Robbie Bachman, and Fred Turner) from 1991 until 2005, making this line-up the longest enduring of all the various BTO incarnations. He currently works as a marketing director for Christ Church Cathedral[2] in Vancouver, and still plays an occasional gig here or there. He is tremendously gifted musically, and played a major role in keeping the BTO legacy alive and vibrant.
