    Interesting article. Here berliner-zeitung.de/archiv/jacky-spelter–deutschlands-aeltester-rock-n-roller–feiert-seinen-75–geburtstag-auf-der-buehne-der-king-von-neukoelln,10810590,10016300.html it says that Jacky met The Beatles at the Kaiserkeller, so that would have been 1960. Ofcourse by then they were already Beatles, without 'Silver'.

    Foxx: Yes, well the same article says that his Fender Jazzmaster was a 1948 model, so it's not easy.

    I wonder if that Jackie is the same one that Paul refers to in the take of Get Back where he sings in mock German (Geht Raus)

    Fender Jazzmaster wasn't introduced until 1959 and even then probably didn't hit the stores in the USA until 1960. Does anyone know when Jackie Spelter was in Texas…?

    What prisoner of war would be held in Texas?

    Some German POWs were held at the US military base (Fort D.A. Russell) in Marfa, Texas in some of 1944 and 1945.
