Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

They all used Rickenbackers? took part in the same show? played in the same style? there's one person who had something to do with all of them?

Sheen: I admire your determinism and the narrowing-down strategy. But none of these would be in the right direction. You would have been great on "What's My Line."

This is, shall we say, a numbers game in the primary sense. Partial points go to a time-frame analysis.

Primary as in prime (1,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29, etc..)?

No, but you are on the right track Howard.

Something to do with chart positions?

You are getting closer and this line of thinking will get you part marks.

The Byrds lost a guitar while playing in Springfield, Illinois, during a dust storm. Thus, the Byrds were Searchers for a lost guitar in Dusty Springfield ...

I'm almost inclined to give you top marks for this clever reponse. But no..

Possibl they each recorded a Jackie De Shannon song (The Searchers and The Byrds definitely did). I'll have to look up a Dusty Springfield Discography.

They had the 1,2 and 3 positions in the charts at the same time.

No but your intuition is close to 50% percent of the answer.

1, 2, 1, 1? (the first four singles)

No Sheena, but thanks for your response.

All the acts only appeared on Ed Sullivan Show once

Thanks Roy. This was not the numerical association that I had in mind. Part one is a numbers game but not the one that you have identified. Part two speaks to a particular time.
