A couple days ago, Pat Hitchcock, Alfred Hitchcock's only child, who was so memorable in Strangers on a Train and in a smaller role in Psycho.

RIP Shiva, the well armed. Attained Nirvana the same day as Sonny Chiba. The coincidence is significant.

Lennon & McCartney have said that the Everly’s were what they aspired to in regards to harmonies. During the Hamburg years they would tell German girls they were known as the ‘British Everly Brothers’.

“Quite aside from the Beatles, the Everly Brothers were feted by everyone from the Rolling Stones – Keith Richards hailed Don as “one of the best rhythm guitar players I’ve ever heard” and called their voices “almost mystical” – to the Beach Boys. Paul Simon called them “the most beautiful-sounding duo I ever heard”, Bob Dylan claimed “we owe these guys everything – they started it all”, while Neil Young suggested his entire career was based on trying and failing to sound like them.”

Their harmonies still shine among history’s greatest.

Old and memories continued….

I was only six but my friend’s sister and her friends went to this show in 1964.

As much as I love the Beggars/Bleed/Stocky/Exile period, this is how I remember them best:

Also this one from The Ed Sullivan Show with Charlie in a unique up-front stage position:

Absolute legend.

Great bit about Charlie knocking Mick's block off, as told by Keith in his memoir:

Nice appreciation of Charlie Watts and his drumming style from a couple of fellow drummers.

Thanks for that. The Copeland article is excellent.

The Stones have been my number one band since I was a child. I have seen them a few times. I fell in love with them at an early age and have most of their albums. Yes vinyl.

Charlies Watts was incredible and the thread deserves a title change. A legend of drumming!
