Six Degrees of Separation was originally proposed by Frigyes
Karinthy. The theory says that everyone in the world can be
connected through a maximum of six steps. Applying that theory to
The Beatles, this book shows how 1,550 bands/artists connect back
to The Beatles.
This is Volume One of a planned series and examines the Paul
McCartney "Rock Tree." The other Beatles will get their own books
in the future.
The book contains fifty "rock trees" each with thirty one
bands/artists per tree and each with a companion chart showing how
the bands are connected.
In terms of six degrees of separation, the Beatles are the base
and Paul McCartney is the first degree. The band/artist on the top
of each of the fifty "rock trees" therefore is the second degree.
The trees then expand two by two down to the sixth degree
(resulting in sixteen sixth degree bands/artists per tree).
The goal was not to repeat any band/artist, although musicians can
be solo artists and parts of different bands. I accomplished that
goal.
Only band members or guest or studio musicians or singers were
used to connect the bands/artists. Song writing, production,
engineering, etc. credits did not count.
For those of you into lists and/or finding new or unfamiliar
music; there are charts listing twelve songs of note from each of
the fifty "rock trees." In a few cases I couldn't help myself and
threw in an additional song or two.
Also, there is an index in the back of the book listing all 1,550
bands/artists with the page number for the "rock tree" that
contains that band/artist.
