Just to clarify this a bit. Kitty and I spoke and agreed that it would be nice to do something for Gary at one of our Beatlemaniacs meetings. Gary's son is a drummer and Gary had always talked about him coming down and playing with our group. Gary had even invited several people to come and hear Sam play. Even though Gary is gone we have the opportunity to make that happen.
As it happens, this week's meeting is within a few days of Ringo's birthday and the plan was to feature Ringo and his drumming. So, we will have drums there for Sam to play.
Gary loved the Beatles and the Beatlemanics club. We are sure that he would have wanted us to continue on with our meetings and that is what we will do. We will honor him by doing the things that brought Gary to our club and into our lives. Have a discussion about the Beatles and play music. Those are the reasons that Gary came to our club. We will also allow time at this special meeting for anyone that would like to speak about Gary to come forth and do so.
So please come and be aware that this will not only be a memorial for Gary, but a weekly meeting of the Beatlemaniacs. Be prepared to hear some Beatles music and tell some Gary stories.
