HOW DO YOU SPELL "Rickenbacker"?

Let me see...

R-I-C-K-E-N-B-A-C-K-E-R

...without the quote marks.

Who can tell me the Rick connection?

Hmmm, does Celine Dion play a Ric(k)?..

Who can tell me the Lucy connection?

Not sure, Lars, but maybe it could have something to do with "I love Lucy" series?..

Exactly

Ok, missed that series. Thanks Sheena and Ken.

Well, in fact missed them as well, Lars (never seen any episode). I've learned about them from the movie called "Rat race" or something like that. "You should buy a squirrel", heh.

"E-I-E-I-O(wen)"? Why it's the "Dukes of Stratosphere"'s drummer of course! With Lord Cornelius Plum on Rickenbacker (a 325 I believe).

Congratulation, Steve! To all who don't know EIEI Owen is Owen Gregory, brother of XTC guitarist and Rick maestro Dave Gregory. I don't know if he used a 325 in those sessions. Most of the interviews I've seen have him crediting his 360/12 on most Dukes recordings.

I just checked out Dave's web site ( www.guitargonauts.com ) and you'll see his Rickenbackers under "Pick of the Month". It looks like he used a 1993 12-string and a 1996 for the Dukes recordings.

In my part of the country, it's easier to call it a Ricken ! I guess it's fitting more the french way of speaking. And if I'm writing here, well I use Ric or Rick... But then the latter reminds me too much of my brother in law!!!

In New Zealand it would be 'Ruckenbecker'!
