元ゲス・フー（Guess Who）のランディ・バックマン（Randy Bachman）は、愛用していたエレキギターを1976年に紛失。カナダで盗難にあったギターが45年後の2021年に東京で見つかっています。バックマンはこのギターとの再会を果たすために7月に来日し、パフォーマンスも行います。

このエレキギターが見つかった件については、2021年にこちらで報じています。

以下インフォメーションより

伝説のロッカー、ランディ・バックマン氏が、東京アメリカンクラブで7月2日に開催される独立記念日式典のステージに立つことが決定しました。バックマン氏は46年前に盗難にあった愛用ギターとの再会を果たすために来日し、当クラブのボールルームで行われるイベントで、クラシックのセットを演奏する予定です。

バックマン氏は、1970年代にゲス・フーやバックマン・ターナー・オーバードライブなどのバンドで”American Woman”,You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet”,”Takin' Care of Business”などをヒットさせたことで知られるカナダのギタリスト、ソングライターです。

現在78歳のバックマン氏は、1976年にカナダ・トロントのホテル滞在中に、愛用していた1957年製のギター「グレッチ6120チェット・アトキンス」の盗難に遭い「自分の一部が失われた」と悲嘆に暮れていました。警察に通報した以降も手がかりはなく、ラジオ番組やユーチューブなどを通して長年に渡ってこの失われたギターについて語り続けてきました。

そして、新型コロナウィルスの影響で世界的に外出規制がなされた2021年、ファンの協力によって、バックマン氏のギターを日本人ミュージシャンが保有していることが発覚したのです。

バックマン氏は新型コロナウィルスによる日本への渡航制限が緩和されたこの７月に来日し、４６年ぶりに失われたギターとの念願の再会を果たします。7月1日に東京のカナダ大使館で行われるセレモニーで、長らくこのギターを保有していた日本人ミュージシャン、TAKESHI氏から「グレッチ6120チェット・アトキンス」を受け取る予定です。

東京アメリカンクラブ代表ガバナーであるジェシー・グリーンは“ランディ・バックマンのようなロック・アイコンを東京アメリカンクラブにお迎えできることを大変光栄に思います。当クラブの独立記念日祝賀会は、クラブカレンダーの中でも最も重要なイベントの一つであり、ランディが会員とそのゲストのために演奏することで、今年の祝賀会は特別なものになるでしょう" と述べています。

この公演は、バックマン氏の日本旅行に関するドキュメンタリーの一部として撮影される予定です。

東京アメリカンクラブで7月2日に行われる独立記念日式典では、アメリカの伝統的なホリデーフードが振る舞われる他、カーニバルやプールゲーム、ボーリング大会や音楽イベントなどが開催されます。

The Guess Who are a Canadian rock band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1965.

The band originated in 1962 and achieved an international hit single with a cover of "Shakin' All Over" in 1965 under the name Chad Allan and the Expressions. After changing their name to the Guess Who, they found their greatest success in the late 60s and early 70s, under the leadership of singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, with hit songs including "American Woman", "These Eyes", "No Time" and many others.

During their most successful period, the Guess Who released eleven studio albums, all of which reached the charts in Canada and the United States. They may be best known for their 1970 album American Woman, which reached no. 1 in Canada and no. 9 in the United States, while five other albums reached the top ten in Canada. The Guess Who charted fourteen Top 40 singles in the United States and more than thirty in Canada.^[1]

The Guess Who was disbanded by Cummings in 1975, though bassist Jim Kale and/or drummer Garry Peterson have toured and recorded under the Guess Who name since 1977, frequently with no other original band members involved.^[2]

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a 1967 American romantic comedy-drama film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, and written by William Rose. It stars Spencer Tracy (in his final role), Sidney Poitier, and Katharine Hepburn, and features Hepburn's niece Katharine Houghton.

The film was one of the few films of the time to depict an interracial marriage in a positive light, as interracial marriage historically had been illegal in many states of the United States. It was still illegal in 17 states, until June 12, 1967, six months before the film was released, and scenes were filmed just before anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia.

The film was the ninth and final on-screen pairing of Tracy and Hepburn. Tracy was very ill during filming but insisted on continuing. Filming of his role was completed just 17 days before Tracy's death in June 1967.^[3] Hepburn never saw the completed film,^[4] saying that the memories it would evoke for her of Tracy were too emotional. The film was released in December 1967, six months after his death.

In 2017 (on its 50th anniversary), the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".^[5][6] The film's Oscar-nominated score was composed by Frank De Vol.^[7]

Plot

In 1967, Joanna Drayton, a 23-year-old white woman, returns from her Hawaiian vacation to her parents' home in San Francisco with Dr. John Prentice, a 37-year-old black widower. The couple became engaged after a 10-day whirlwind romance. Joanna's parents are Matt Drayton, a successful newspaper editor, and his wife, Christina, who owns an art gallery. Though both of the Draytons are liberal-minded, they are initially shocked their daughter is engaged to a man of a different race. Christina gradually accepts the situation, but Matt objects because of the likely unhappiness and seemingly insurmountable problems the couple will face in American culture.

Without telling Joanna, John tells the Draytons he will withdraw from the relationship unless both Draytons give the couple their blessing. To complicate matters, John is scheduled to fly to New York later that night, and then to Geneva, Switzerland for three months in his work with the World Health Organization. His answer from the Draytons, therefore, will determine whether Joanna will follow him. Tillie, the Draytons' black housekeeper, suspicious of John's motives and protective of Joanna, privately corners John and speaks her mind. To John's surprise, Joanna invites John's parents to fly up from Los Angeles to join them for dinner that evening. John has not told them his fiancée is white. Monsignor Ryan, Matt's golf buddy, arrives after Matt cancelled their game. He tells both Matt and the couple he is supportive of the engagement. But Matt will not yield. Christina tells Matt she, too, is supportive of Joanna, even if it means fighting Matt. On the way to the airport to meet John's parents, the couple stops for a drink with an old friend of Joanna's and her husband; they are also completely supportive. While at the club, they hear a singer (Jacqueline Fontaine, uncredited) perform "The Glory of Love", a 1936 hit for Benny Goodman.

John's parents, the Prentices, arrive. They, too, are shocked when discovering Joanna is white. At the Drayton home, various private conversations occur among the two families. All agree more time is needed to absorb the situation. The two mothers meet and agree this was an unexpected event, but support their children. The two fathers meet, both expressing disapproval at this unhappy occasion. The Monsignor advises John not to withdraw, despite Matt's objections. John's mother tells him she and Christina both approve. John and his father discuss their generational differences. John's mother tells Matt that he and her husband have forgotten what it was like to fall in love, and their failure to remember true romance has clouded their thinking. John chides Matt for not having the "guts" to tell him face to face he disapproved of the marriage. Finally, Matt reveals his decision about the engagement to the entire group. In his speech, Joanna learns for the first time that John made their marriage conditional on the Draytons' approval. Matt ultimately concludes, after having listened to John's mother, that he does remember what true romance is. He says although the pair face enormous problems ahead due to their racial differences, they must find a way to overcome them, and he will approve the marriage, knowing all along he had no right to stop it. The families and the Monsignor then adjourn to the dining room for dinner.
