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. _________________

OMGs... don't tell me I've got my 6es and 9s mixed up now
I know that the one coming in for landing is a Swiss-Air though... or is it a red-cross with black and white colors  _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."

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
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... spooky -- or, GENIUS more likely
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  _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."

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