I remember when I was a lil kid I used to think that up till the early 60s everyone in the world could only see in black and white, then at some point in time, some miracle happened and everyone could see in color.

I know that the one coming in for landing is a Swiss-Air though... or is it a red-cross with black and white colors

...dude
I'd read as far as "Now if a 6... turned out to be a 9.." and I not only knew the who and what, I even knew the question you were going to ask... spooky -- or, GENIUS more likely 
You and I obviously weren't there in the sixties... seeing that we both remember.
"In a world of black N white, he taught us how to see pretty colors."
You've hit the nail on the head Bel. Many have tried to emulate him but NOBODY has even come close. The Paganini of recent times. A true innovator and individual.
Thanks for the points and the YouTube link in particular. The next biiiiig fish I catch will be my gift for you |

Now that's blasphemy guys and you know it
My lips are sealed... unless you want me to give a detailed discourse on how Jimi would have had to show Bob how to tune a guitar for starters... I don't think you want me to continue
