My ValveKing is 50 watts with a single speaker. Yeah, the 212 is 100 watts with 2 speakers. I have a feeling the 50 watts should be more than enough. I'll find out soon enough.

The Beatles were introduced to me by a family friend when I was young. My friends in my early teen years all like Beatles also. Beatles songs were the first songs I learned to play. Could be worse things :-).

Yeah, for a guy that doesn't like to play covers, you sure have a long list!! :-). It's good for you though...it will help you form and discover your style.

I'm coming around your way a little. Even though our cover band hasn't really gotten off the ground yet, I can easily see a day where I grow tired of playing the same songs again and again. At some point the thrill of learning songs in a given genre will get old.
