Great song!! I think Tony may have been trying to throw off his adorable baby face image with that stache! 😂He is eternally young! It’s a gift! Even at 78 he doesn’t look his age!

si, yo también creo que se parecía a Terry Kath jjsdsdjjdsddj y sentían la música igual por cierto... no me extrañaría que Kath fuera en sus inicios un admirador de los Hollies
As a bassist, the tail (or the “money notes”) are easiest to use for me. Up the neck the frets get smaller which might be easier to play maybe. But the money notes are easiest to remember and you won’t have to move to reach the lowest notes.
After years blasting off them, John Lennon listened to this song and finally told them that he totally dig this sound - I bet he was always a fan of The Hollies (in the same way he was of The Stones) - like we say in Spanish language: tan solo se odia lo querido. He was never able to like/praise a Manc band bc he was from Liverpool :D
The next year, The Sweet did Little Willy. Same chap? Back in the late 80s, in my favourite children's comic, there was an incredibly wimpish character called Weedy Willy.
