You're missing "Ringo" Strzepanek, maintenance engineer.

Unfortunately for Pete "Sayonara" Fujimoto, the three principles formed a power block and eased him out before the corporation was formed.

You forgot to mention the power struggle with the klingon, Yorki Bono after the partnership became hugely successful.

I am sure there was a Brian involved into the supplies....

Brian, is that pronounced "BAH-no" or "BONE-oh"?

>>Pete "Sayonara" Fujimoto<<

This must be the Rick parallel to Pete Best, but there must have been a previous Pete involved in Rick's early years, just like Pete Shotton was fired from the Quarrymen. Hopefully the Rick-related subject didn't have a washboard cracked over his head by John Dopyera.

Ringo Strzepanek's stage name was "Richard."

That would be BONE-Oh! Paul.

RIGHT, this thread has become silly and is hereby closed.

I would say "Let It Be".

I thought the original post was very cool and something I hadn't noticed(in a million years!)
