Fact #4142
When:
Short story:
When Al Caldwell's Texans (later to become Rory Storm And The Hurricanes) play at The Mardi Gras Club, Liverpool, England, UK, Europe, they are joined by a new drummer, Richard Starkey. He will later, of course, change his name to Ringo Starr and, still later, move on to The Beatles. This is the first night on which Ringo played with The Hurricanes' guitarist, Johnny Guitar, and he will be inspired in 2017 to write the song Electricity, as his homage to the guitarist.Full article:
Ringo Starr : This is another one of my personal history lessons that talks about my old band Rory And The Hurricanes, and Johnny “Guitar” Byrne, who was an amazing player we had in the group. There’s also a reference to “Gangster of Love,” which is a classic by another great player, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, from America. Glen had the bit about “electricity going through his fingers,” so I put that crazy vocal effect on so this track would feel very electric. This was the first track we put guitar on for the album and I got Joe Walsh to come down, because he’s a relative and a very electric guy, too, a beautiful human who plays great. What else do you need?
