Beatle George Harrison cited Whitman as an early influence: "The first person I ever saw playing a guitar was Slim Whitman, either a photo of him in a magazine or live on television. Guitars were definitely coming in."[15] Paul McCartney credited a poster of Whitman with giving him the idea of playing his guitar left-handed with his guitar strung the opposite way to a right-handed player's.

Agreed, Jim.
"His 1955 hit single "Rose Marie" held the Guinness World Record for the longest time at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart until Bryan Adams broke the record in 1991 after 36 years" That's pretty damn impressive. I think he knocked The Beatles off the charts at some point, too.

How much of that skit is true I wonder? He knew how to maintain tension. If they'd just started screaming at each other you'd know it was all staged for sure. Elayne Boosler, there was a name I had forgotten.
