  4. 10. That would be Ziggy who played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars. He played it left hand.

    14. But we don't know for sure if Ziggy played either of these guitars made by Gibson.

    17. I know this one but will not say it because I'm very curious to see if anyone else gets it!
