Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Peter....sorry....My wife forgot the camera.

I saw Roger at an outdoor venue in suburban Philadelphia on July 29th and he was incredible. A chilly mist kept the crowd on the smaller side but Roger, a true professional and bonafide legend, was undaunted. He performed the sacred Byrds canon using his Rickenbacker and a Martin 12 string. A ...

In the fall of 1964 I attended my first high school dance, a real rite of passage for an eigth grader in suburban Philadelphia. The host of the weekly dance was(and still is) a local TV/radio personality named Wee Willie Webber and at one point he played the new Searchers single, What Have They Done ...

Timeless Flight, one of the great Rock biographies, goes into heartbreaking (if you're a Byrds fanatic such as I ) detail of the events leading up to the breakup of The Byrds. I recommend it to all Byrds of a ...

Liverpool, over the years, was a destination for many Irish immigrants and became well known as an Irish Catholic enclave. I believe Manchester to a degree also. Besides Gerry, Peter Noone, and John and Mike from the Searchers, at least half the Beatles, Paul and George, were baptized as Catholics ...

I did see the PBS special and I agree wholeheartedly...Wayne Fontana WAS a great surprise. Eric Burdon apparently no longer sings.
