You answered all my questions. I was wondering if you could hear them singing. I just imagined complete chaos with screaming girls crying and going crazy just like you see in the old newsreels.

I enjoy hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing.

A few months ago I golfed with a guy from Liverpool who was best friends with Paul Mccartney’s younger brother, Mike. Mike was 2 years younger and they all went to the same upper school. He said he did all the same things that the beatles, and all the other teenagers did in liverpool at that time. It was the same gang. I didn’t press but I wish I offered him lunch and drinks just to recount those days.
You need to come to some meetings of my Beatles Club. We had a big celebration on Feb 9 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. We had my friend Chris Huston as a guest speaker. Chris was in a Liverpool band called the Undertakers. He was a classmate of John Lennon at Liverpool Art College and he was very good friends with all the Beatles. He played on the same bill with them several times. He was also in playing The Star Club in Hamburg at the same time as The Beatles.

Chris went on to become a world class engineer and producer having produced bands such as the Rascals, Eric Burdon and War, Led Zepplin, The Who and James Brown.

We meet every Friday morning at 10:00 at the O'Dell Rec Center.

This Friday marks our second anniversary as a club.
