Thanks Mitch.

The Strangers were arguably the premier live band in Melbourne during the mid to late sixties. Very accomplished musicians and quality vocals and harmonies.

Thats John Farrar out front: we all know where he finished up !!!!

Ah, excuse me, I'm just going out for a while to hunt down those RM's.........

Thanks for the video, Mitch and for the background info, Shane!

2 minutes of Rick heaven. Back then it seemed every band had 2 or 3 Ricks. I wonder where they all went.

A year later The Strangers had abandoned the Rick-Beatles look.... but were playing a Beatle song

Thanks again Mitch, you have rekindled some old memories here.

Those Danelectro's are more likely Maton El Toro's.

Right you are!
(IMHO, those are some ugly-*** guitars)
