                His father bought him his first guitar.That second part is not true. The guitars he owned he restrung. It was common for him to play a right handed guitar "upside down".In fact he played the bass guitar that way on All along the Watchtower. Noel Redding the Bass player had walked out. My source is better than your source. I have also been a fan since 1970!

                      i saw him play at the Shoreham ballroom on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC at age 16. Approx 1968! Ending up seeing him later that night at a 'Little Tavern' hamburger stand in Georgetown. One of the best shows of my life!

                        That's so cool. I tried to get my dad to let me see him at the LA Forum on 25 April 1970. My only chance at 11 years old! :B

                            Cool. A nine year old thread. I have one. What was the name of the original drummer for the Beatles before Ringo Starr took the sticks? And as a bonus question, what was their original band name?

                              So, do you watch em? You know, those things they call movie extras in DVD packages like Director's Cuts?

                              I'd be the first to admit, that often times, I'm just not that interested.

                              But I thought it might be interesting to post sort of a add on list of interesting trivia...

                              We've had some fun in our music subforum with music trivia. I really enjoy movie trivia, so let's try it out here. Ask or answer, let's talk about movie trivia.

                              I'll start with a new question I developed today:

                              Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, two great actors, have appeared...

Bruce's character travels to the past to obtain information about a virus and the Army of the 12 Monkeys to help the future survive the catastrophy that occurs in 1997. In what I would call a great pefromance by both Bruce and Brad,...
