Count the Rics...


I got seven...
My dad told me this song was written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees.

Two things why I cannot view it...

1. I have dial-up
2. My computer's being stupid and won't let me view YouTube vids

What KIND of Rics did you see in the vid, Matt?

[ozover50]

I can only see two, possibly three:

Her black 350SH and her white 350SH - the latter with both black and white guards, etc.

In some of the pics she appears to be playing a 350 Liverpool - no binding - so that's the possible third.

[beatlefreak]

There were Ricks in there?

[ozover50]

Took me about 30 plays to find them, Kris, but yes!!

Yeah, after the 29th time you finally decided to count the guitars!

[ozover50]

True, Jeff........... got sick of counting the same legs over and over!

[winston]

I must be going blind..............I did not notice any guitars.

Btw, "Different Drum" was a 1967 hit song performed by The Stone Poneys which featured a young and upcoming singer named: Linda Ronstadt.

I remember that version but didn't know that was Linda, but now that you say it, I can hear it is her. Amazing how the memory recording after all these 40 years holds up..... scary really.....

Oh, and not knowing my guitar models, I think I counted 4 or 5. What was it with the 80s and hair styles - both the men and women!?!?

I think it was something in the (H)air at the time.

Maybe they thought the style made their Hair Cuticle erm maybe not

[johnallg]

Didn't it all start with (H)Air Supply??

So, any definitive count on different Ricks in that vid? ANYONE here looking at the instruments?????

[rickosound]

I didn't know the 350SH came in white, too, and you can't see the signature in the pictures of her with it. That incorrectly counted as one or two more. I just watched the video again, and this is what I saw:

350SH JG
350SH White
Standard 350 JG
Standard 350 White with Black Trim
Possibly a different Ric at about 0:45?

Matthew: The white 350SH was a special build by RIC for Susanna herself.... to the best of my knowledge it was never released to the public.

As I have read it, the white one was the first prototype; when she saw it, she changed her mind and said to make it JG.
