Key boards?
Drummer?
You mean apart from my looking after the Yardbirds when they played at Leeds Uni. in '65 and getting them all to autograph "Five Live Yardbirds" and Beck trying to chat up my girlfriend at a party we went to with "Sonny Boy" Williamson (we gave him a bottle of whisky and he was happy) and my also meeting Clapton watching Bergman's The Seventh Seal in London..?

Well Graham Im surprised that you have not mentioned a previous Guitar maestro.
Duane Eddy owes a heck of a lot to the Singing Cowboy. There is a statue at the museum in Los Angeles.
Gene Autry.
My cousin is a huge fan
Im guessing most Rock bands can trace influences back to the country music.
Absolutely fabulous

Drummer? Hal Blaine is the most important drummer of all time. Played with Sam Cooke and onwards. His drumming for Phil Spector is definitive and he is on over 350 tracks that reached the US Top 10 singles charts. I will not list them but you can look at his website.

Well I always think of Gene A and his ownership of Challenge Records which was the US label that recorded the Champs. Most famous for Tequila (US #1, UK #5) although the "B" side Train to Nowhere is a far superior track. Allegedly they spent 2hrs 55 minutes cutting Train and threw Tequila together at the end of the session in one take. But what has quality got to do with hit records?
Yes I do have the first 15 Champs singles as released in America.

I will throw three stickmen in the pot
Stewart Copeland
Rick Allen
and Keith Moon
In a sense they must because before rock... there was no rock. Certainly Duane Eddy was influenced by country music. He came from Arizona which is hardly the home of the blues.

Mmmh. I've watched Keith Moon play from about 10 feet away. Good but he could really only play like Keith Moon.
