    I remember when I was a lil kid I used to think that up till the early 60s everyone in the world could only see in black and white, then at some point in time, some miracle happened and everyone could see in color.

    Dumb kid.

    Now if a 6... turned out to be a 9... I don't mind.... I don't mind........

    If all the hippies... cut off all their hair... I don't care... I don't care.... dig...


    200 bonus points to the person who can tell me without googling or any other way of finding out other than just KNOWING... who said the above.

    It's kinda tied in... it's the 60s. In a world of black N white, he taught us how to see pretty colors.

    ...dude Very Happy

    I'd read as far as "Now if a 6... turned out to be a 9.." and I not only knew the who and what, I even knew the question you were going to ask... Shocked spooky -- or, GENIUS more likely Whistle
    Razz

    You and I obviously weren't there in the sixties... seeing that we both remember.

    "In a world of black N white, he taught us how to see pretty colors."
    You've hit the nail on the head Bel. Many have tried to emulate him but NOBODY has even come close. The Paganini of recent times. A true innovator and individual.

    Thanks for the points and the YouTube link in particular. The next biiiiig fish I catch will be my gift for you Very Happy

    Bel....you might be waiting awhile Laughing
    You know...I've always wondered what would have happened if you mixed Jimi with Bob Marley, what would it have been like?....
