In my heaven, god plays a twelve string Rickenbacker

[DreamGypsy]

I took flight from the nest with the Byrds. Obviously a group that created a unique sound in a unique time, with great individual musicians - Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Micheal Clarke and Jim (Roger) McGuinn.

McGuinn's fantastic guitar work epitomizes the American sound of that era.

Enjoy this flight of the a Byrd:

1. I knew it was Roger McGuinn from the thread title!

My focus on the 60s psychedelic era is paying dividends.

I'll bookmark your thread so I can listen tomorrow. I own a compilation CD of the Byrds so this should be fun.

I didn't post a Friday Night Catnip thread this weekend, but since you so graciously filled the void I will leave you with this:

2. Roger in 1962.

Backing up the original Chad Mitchell Trio. Before John Denver replaced Mitchell.

Don't forget, John Lennon played a 12-string Rick too!!



George too:

3. "Live from Mars" is a great CD.

By Roger. He explains how he got into the electric 12 string sound, plays all his hits including "You Showed Me".

4. Roger Mcguinn and late Gene Clark rule.
