And I must correct myself and say, Roger Mcguinn saw "A Hard Day's night" in 1964 and dashed out and bought himself a 12 string Rickenbaker. Though I've also just read that Harrison was majorly inspired by Mcguinn's 12 string playing, and wrote "If I needed someone" as a result of hearing "Bells of Rhymney". So Roger did get much praise indeed from George! Apparently, Georges Ricky was the second one made by the company, whoa! And ofcourse, Magic Christian played Hyde Park in June, and are still very much active, without Alec Paulao I might add. Check their myspace page for more details......
