Ha, thanks! My German is not that bad tho, but it's quite a complex grammar if you're not German. Dirk is probably better in German than I am.

Whew!!  I almost missed this thread, Kev.

Of course I remember The Searchers!  Ah yes, don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot...

Kevin, I'm curious as to why Mike Pender left The Searchers and why we have two bands called The Searchers today.

He spells his name Barrie. 

When I took French, our teacher told us what the French equivalents of our names were.  That's how she had me spell it.

Maybe it's a dream come true,
Standing right alongside of you.
Wish I could tell you how much I care,
But I only have the nerve to stare.

I can feel a something pounding in my brain,
Just anytime that someone speaks your name.
Trumpets sound, I hear thunder boom.
Every time that you walk in the room.




Coming of age, discovering girls, and hearing lyrics like those.   What a time that was!

OK Baz, Mike left The Searchers as he was sick of them, they were playing in sh*tty places and doing all kinds of cover songs, he decided to team up with Chris and form another Searchers and play all over the world, they formed the new band and toured USA, Oz & places like Greece and had a ball...

Sound reasoning, Kev.  I hope they're all still friends, though.  It would be nice to see them play together again.

I was just wondering. Did the Searchers influence the Byrds or was it the other way round?

The Searchers formed in 1959.  George Harrison and Mike Pender were among the first to perform with the Rickenbacker 360-12 in 1964.  They no doubt influenced Roger McGuinn.
