Fascinating... never knew he used one...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I'd love to find footage of Jim Reeves and his Blue Boys with their Ricks but the only film footage I've seen has the lead guitarist and bassist playing Fenders.

Almost. Jim with his acoustic Ric.

Good find! That was from the movie Kimberly Jim. IIRC it hadn't been released yet when he died.

Early Yes, with Chris's RM1999 when it still had the wallpaper on it:

Much clearer video, but some manky stereo reprocessing on the audio. Looks like Chris has a small G-clamp keeping the headstock together:

And another brief black and white clip. Steve Howe on guitar by this stage. You can see Chris is using a Y-splitter curly lead, but both cables are running to one Fender head.

If you lived in Minnesota in the 80's you couldn't get away from these guys (and girl).  It even appears to be a 4002.

Maybe you couldn't, but I sure could!  :)

The guitarist now runs a coffee shop and wine bar in south Minneapolis. Times change.

Achtung, jetzt wird gejazzrockt!!! Hellmut Hattler, Germany's most famous Ric'ist:


What does Kraan translate as?...  because in Polish that would be tap/faucet.

I found a few clips from that movie and felt SURE I would find a clip of the rest of his band with the matching instruments, including the Ric, but nothing turned up. I bet I looked at 25 clips too!

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Say what you will about the Hollies, but they could do their stuff really well. Kick-ass version.

"What does Kraan translate as?...  because in Polish that would be tap/faucet."

It's a spoof spelling, just like Def Leppard or Led Zeppelin, the double A makes it look a little Dutch and Kraan weren't too far away from the Dutch border, but in German there is only "Kran" and that can mean either

- faucet or tap, just like you said (though it's an old-fashioned and more regional term for it),

or (more commonly)

- a construction crane.



Kraan have also used the term Kraaniche, which is a spoof on Kranich, the crane bird:

Yeah, there's only 1 A in Polish as well.  Thanks.  Etimology is interesting.

The Hollies, 1975.

Geez, what a voice! And what is that bass player, like 15 years old???

I absolutely LOVED this song when I was in like 5th grade. The guitar intro gave me goosebumps. I would wait for this or Smoke on the Water to come on the radio (which is funny because both songs were about 3 years old by then).  ;D
