Amen to that Bobby. Just go down to lower Broadway in Nashville. They need a fire hose
after some of the players play down there. No ones making any kind of money.

The time - 1965. The place - Wembley Arena and the New Musical Express' Pollwinners Concert, and I was playing with the now almost-forgotten Eden Kane (he DID have a big string of UK hits back then, though).
Late on Sunday afternoon, the running order was:- The Rolling Stones, then us, then The Beatles. It was a bit daunting, I suppose, as the crowd were going nuts, particularly for the Beatles, but I didn't think much about it at the time. I'd have to say that, on that show anyway, The Hollies sounded like the best band there, but 'history' seems to see it differently.
I enjoy The Beatles' music much more now than I did then - I'm even thinking of buying some of their CDs!
I DO remember George trying to buy my Gibson Super 400 from me that day!

A PS: That 'CD bit' sounds a bit dismissive - I didn't mean it to come across that way. I intend to buy 'Revolver', 'Sgt Pepper', the 'White Album' and 'Abbey Road' - the earlier stuff sounds a bit 'thrown together' to me, but those four albums are so musical!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Roger Rettig on 11 April 2003 at 06:20 AM.]</p></FONT>
