WHO'S WHO IN CLASSIC ROCK

Well, yardbirds, somebody's wanting a challenge! Y'see, awhile back, I listed the real names of some Sixties superstars, and asked you to match 'em up against their stage names.
Apparently, a couple of our readers wanted to take a look at them again, so, since we have some new folks gazin' at this very same page right now, I figured "why not just repeat the post for 'em?" Soooo, here we go:

I JUST FED MY BLOG THIS MORNIN', A-AN' ... IT ... (geewhiz!)... SEEMED HEALTHY .... Actually, I couldn't get my blog up and runnin' for awhile, but I took it to the vet (veteran blog-fixer) who told me it had too much exposure to the secret ingredient in Mozilla®, which caused its internal organ(ization) to shut down temporarily. Finally, after a shot of IE8, it's back to normal!
Since I'd just finished a decent fish dinner at the local Captain D's, I can truthfully say, COD BLESS THAT VET! Now ... where were we (or were we goin' anywhere with this?)? OH, yeah ... Gettin' the gears greased to shift this whole thing into overdrive within the next couple/three clicks. That's right ... we're gonna rollback Prices (as well as the rest of the Animals), turn back the Clarks (Dave's group), and wish upon a Starr (on fresh Lennon, no less ... not to mention those other two guys) when we thunder through the creatively fab years from mid-'50's to mid-70's.
Now ...let's see how ya do on this, rockaholics: Think ya know your rock stars? Oooookay ... try this real names quiz: All are singers, and many are from the 60s (a few are from another space and time). What are/were their stage names?

FENDER BENDER

No, I'm not talking about cars here ... but the sleekest guitar that the Fender® company has put out in a lonnnnng time!
Now, I've picked and grinned (well, sorta) for over forty years and can tell you, personally, that the b bender is one of the sleekest, play-friendly electrics on the market!
It's modelled after the customized guitars of some of Nashville's greatest pickers,has a special Texas Strat pickup and a Strat-to-Tele switch (and what musician hasn't drooled over one of those?
With a price that's definitely cool and a playability and sound that'll make you want more, why not click the link you just passed and learn more about this musical wonder!
