Two Musical Birthdays
Yesterday, July 6, is considered by many, to be the birthday of The Beatles. On July 6, 1957 Paul McCartney was introduced to John Lennon by their mutual friend, Ivan Vaughn. Paul had just seen John play with his group, The Quarrymen and was impressed. Paul played a couple of song for John after which John, who was also impressed, asked him to be in his group. That started the whole ball rolling as a few weeks later Paul mentioned that he had a friend named George that he thought might be a good addition to the group.
Also, today, July 7, is the 74th birthday of Ringo Starr. Ringo is the oldest of the four Beatles being three months and two days older than John Lennon.
