Do big numbers impress you? Sometimes smaller number mean more.

We’re fascinated by TV shows that reach 100 episodes or 10 years on the air; bands creating a record with multiple producers and dozens of musicians; or movies with a cast of hundreds. But does that make them good?

These small numbers impress me more:

12 = number of Fawlty Towers episodes (6 in 1975, 6 in 1979). 

10 = number of years The Beatles were together.

9 = number of Led Zeppelin original studio albums.

3 = number of guys in Johnny Cash’s band…including Johnny Cash.

                                                          .
1 = number of musicians playing all of the instruments on John Fogerty’s Centerfield album (and that was John Fogerty!)
