100-1 When I first saw The Fab 4 on Ed Sullivan, I knew right then & there I wanted to play guitar. I had a dream at 8 years old of having a turquoise electric guitar. Another dream I had was The Beatles & I were real good friends (my friends didn't know this)and they were going to come over to my house and have lunch. They asked if they could sleep over and I asked my mom. She said, "Well, I guess it's o.k.!" Trip man. They covered a lot of american black blues @ the start and kept reinventing, borrowing a little here & there and everywhere.
