Fine State Of Affairs
Burton Cummings, former lead vocalist for the Guess Who. While in radio, I can remember a 45 coming into the station with Guess Who? on the label. The rest is musical history. Fine State Of Affairs is from 1980 with Burton going solo.

One of the best voices in music, a great entertainer, and an absolutely incredibly one man show .
Worth many times the cost of admission .
