    The Shadows - "Wonderful Land" - What a load of shite.

    Can't be having that CE It was a great year: lovely summer, first decent motorbike, holiday romance, first pay packet, and the Shads remind me of it all every time I hear them. Could still do 'the Shadows Walk' if it wasn't for me trouble!

    That strat........ red I understand, these guys were great, and are great.
    Regarded as Cliff's backing band, they were a lot more than that, and Hank, the only guy except Buddy Holly who was an early icon.
    Along with Lonnie Donegan, who almost invented the british rock/skiffel sound.
    Hank must have inspired thousands of young teenager's to take up the guitar.
    Of course I was more into Page and Clapton/Beck, re: Yardbirds/Bluesbreakers, before Hendrix and Gallagher.
    For some one who was into progressive blues I have not progressed one step forward in 40 years, but then I do not think the guitar has either.

    Along with Bert Weedon's, Play In A Day. I remember learning the chord of C that day, if I'd learned two more, who knows, I might have been a member of Status Quo.
