MissouriPicker Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 RIP, and thanks for being one of the brave scouts of R&R. You were a proud member of that ilk that was not afraid to test-the-waters by being different. God Bless and thanks for the great music.

One July 6, 1957, the Quarymen are playing a little dance behind a church, one of the members introduced his classmate Paul to the band, he chats with John, and shows him how to tune his guitar (John had it tuned to open G) Paul plays a few songs including a medley of Little Richard songs, and blown John away with his singing and knowledge of music. Anyways, Little Richard was a early pioneer, from washing dishes to support his mother and siblings after his father died, to getting one chance to Play for a record producer, As I understand it, he also gave James Brown, a high school janitor and chance singing with his band, hired Jimi until he was started upstaging the star. A few days later the other members suggest inviting Paul to join, John agrees, so, maybe without Little Richard inspiring Paul, who then impressed John with his performance of Richards songs, there wouldn't have been The Beatles. Six separations and all that. In October 1947, Sister Rosetta Tharpe overheard 14-year-old Penniman singing her songs before a performance at the Macon City Auditorium. She invited him to open her show.[19] After the show, Tharpe paid him, inspiring him to become a professional performer.[18][20] Penniman stated that he was inspired to play the piano after he heard Ike Turner's piano intro on "Rocket 88."[21The Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to is how if they need a backup, someone can step up and just play with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
