Awesome screen grab PennyLane, that's one of my favorite George songs/vids.  I made a clip of George addressing that in an interview, he's vague about it of course, just as they always were when this subject came up. www.jojoplace.org/MovedPages/georgeinterview/georgeinterview.mp3Interesting that he chose BB King as an example.. (Dig It!)  Of course the song is reminiscing about the old days, and having someone walk by with a picture of John was the only way for a reunion. (if that was indeed Sir Paul) |

Help me out here gang. Am I majoring on minors but my eyes were drawn to an immediate flaw about the Walrus. He's playing a RIGHT handed blue Rickenbacker 4001 (or possibly the newer 4003) that is merely turned up-side-down (like Jimi did with the Fender Strats he played. With the possible exception of the very early days P/F always played a left-handed guitar/bass, never a right handed restrung-for-a lefty instrument. I very well may be picking some very small nits...or maybe George is trying to tell us something...

But maybe he really wanted that image in the vid, but couldn't locate a bass in time, so they just flipped a R-handed bass. Just a thought. |

don't forget the "casualties at dawn" and
"The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on"
