Love the Beatles
They are the reason why I became a musician ...
Eric

Me too, Eric!

God Bless,
Don

You'll REALLY feel old if, like me, you became a musician because you liked Bill Haley and the comets, who preceded the "Fab Four" by 8-10 years.

Wow! I must really be old, then. Hank Williams was my inspiration to pick up a guitar.

Gary

I still have Rock Around The Clock, the first album I ever bought. "13 Women and Me The Only Man Around".

Bill Haley, Elvis, and all the great Doo-Wop artists were my early inspiration ...

Bill, Carl, Chuck, Jerry Lee, Elvis, Gene, Fats, Little R, Hank, Lefty, Johnny, Floyd, Boots, Ricky, Marty, Roy, Ray, Wilson, ..you don't even have to list their last names, but everybody knows 'em. And I'm leaving out lots more. They were and still are inspirations to me.
And then came the next wave...Eric, John-Paul-Ringo-George, Merle, Roger, Kris, Willie, Waylon, George, another George, Randy, Garth, Alan, JB, Janis!, BB, ...too many greats, too many gone now.
