Close, but no sitar!  The Davies brothers are from the Muswell Hill 
area, which is way on the other side of London.  According to Ray, 
when he and Dave were young they referred to the good folk of south 
London as "the potato people".  Not very nice, but that sort of 
geographical snobbery takes place even in much smaller towns, like 
the one I live in.

You may not have noticed, but this is the WHO mailing list.  While 
topics relating to rock music in general do often come up here, I 
would not expect a precise or even coherent answer to any question 
not involving the Who.  Any library should have one or more rock 
music reference books that could provide you with a brief biography 
of most (if not all) the bands you listed.
