Count the Rics...


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

Matthew

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?

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.

There were Ricks in there?

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

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

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

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

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?????

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.
