It's cold up here and it's amazing how much difference it makes, that and turtle neck sweaters. Hard to find a good one of those these days.

I miss Elvis. In my dysfunctional upbringing, he was my big brother and Johnny Carson was my dad. Trini Lopez was like my hispanic cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, the Byrds were mostly clean-shaven for a large part of their careers, except for Crosby's eternal moustache. That was sort of the LA folk/rock scene look: shaggy hair, clean-shaven. There was a period in about '68-'69 when they (like a lot of us at that time) went long hair/long beard. Somewhere I have a picture of me in 1969 in full-on hippie appearance. I'll try to find it eventually, just for laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ironically, the Byrds were mostly clean-shaven for a large part of their careers, except for Crosby's eternal moustache. I'm sure we were up in Byrds vol.2 when he (Presley) slipped the remark (it couldn't have been his dialect or joking with dialect, could it). That means the Clarence White, Gene Parsons, Skip Battin phase - which some of course can wipe away as not being the real thing, - but as I got it, resulted in very good records too. Though, as said - part 2 it was. The Ballad of Easy Rider is still very enjoyable to these ears - so is this one : http://upload.wikime...maniaxCover.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ballad of Easy Rider is still very enjoyable to these ears - so is this one : http://upload.wikime...maniaxCover.jpg The Byrds went through an awful lot of personnel and stylistic changes over the years, with McGuinn as the only constant. The high point for me was still the Crosby years, but it's just because of that angelic voice, which is actually more in the forefront in CS&N. They really were an influential group. McGuinn's 12-string style--fingerpicked with metal picks, a hangover from his folkie days as a banjo player--really set the bar for electric 12-string playing in the late 1960's. It's the main reason I bought my ES 335-12, even though it's strung differently than McGuinn's Ric 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
