i remember the day well...

i was 10 years old, had been playing for a few years, playing ventures and other surf type stuff, and the beatles came on tv. changed me forever

I watched that show, live, on black n' white TV, in my feetie pahjammahs.

I watched it and the next day at school it was the hot topic....I was 11 years old.

Well, unlike you old codgers, I am proud to say I was far too young to have ever watched that episode of the Sullivan show. (but only because I was about 4 and it was past my bed time.)

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I was a few months old so I can't remember that show.

However, in my baby book for my first song, mum has written "She loves you Yeah Yeah Yeah by the Beetles (sic).

I was a 20 year old and watched it with My girlfriend. I remember getting mad at her for liking them so much.
Danny,

Dang, you guys are old. I was twelve.

I think I read some where,when the Beatles were on the Sullivan show. There was the least amont of crimes commited. Or some thing to that effect?

I was negative six years old...

I remember that night well,it was the day that my fate was sealed and I decided that nothing else would do and I had to become a musician. The next month was my 10th birthday and I begged and pleaded for a guitar and was given a hand me down that belonged to my uncle,it had strings like a ship's mooring cables and 3/4 inch action. I got so used to playing that brute that when I finally got a good guitar,playing it was a cinch.I owe these guys a huge debt of gratitude.

What time is it? It's Fender Time.

I was 21 and watched it by myself. I taperecorded the set for my friend. I remember getting mad at myself for liking them so much. In August of that year we booked into The Cafe WHA?? in Greenwich Village for an 18 month weekends gig. In that short period of time, the face of rock music changed forever. Awesome.

I was 8 and a half. I watched it on a Magnavox console TV set (black and white, of course). All those screaming girls were really annoying but I did enjoy the show. My father taped it on a reel to reel Bell and Howell tape recorder. Unfortunately, the tape it was on crumbled into oblivion over the years. As a matter of fact, that Bell and Howell tape recorder had a PA system built into it and believe it or not, I used it as my very first amp for many months.

So many of us did something like that. Wonder what gave Fender the idea of doing that little retro amp. It sure hit a lost chord.

I was 8 1/2, too. We had a Philco with rabbit ears. I remember that night like it was yesterday . . . or the day before.

My mother kept shaking her head and saying, "Just look at their hair!"
