Sounds like lot of fun to me.......trivia do you know Paul McCartney's new step son attends Rollins College in Winter Park.

I did not know that. Thank you.

The notice of the interest survey appeared in the rec newspaper yesterday. So far we have 34 people who are interested in the club.

Great! I believe you already have my husband's info.

What page was it on? I couldn't find it, but am interested!

We will be there next week. I'll send a PM with my cell number

B.

So I am sitting here this morning drinking my coffee and reading a book titled, "100 Best Beatles Songs", and I wonder if 40 years from now there will be a book called, "100 Best Justin Bieber Songs"? Makes you think, no?

This month in Beatle history .............. June 1961

Stuart Sutcliffe leaves The Beatles.

At the invitation of Bert Kaempfert, The Beatles (without Stuart) record eight songs with Tony Sheridan at Hamburg's Friedrich-Ebert-Halle.

And last week we saw The Beach Boys on Good Morning America, and today we are watching Crosby Still and Nash on CBS This Morning. Just nobody around today that will have that staying power, we don't think.

and don't forget June 18 was Paul McCartney's 70th birthday.

Have you responded to the interest survey for the club? Sounds like you'd be a great addition.

Why yes I have.

EVERY month should be the Beach Boys month!

I love the Beach Boys. You should start a Beach Boys club.

Saw the Beatles and Beach Boys on PBS last night.

Brought back great memories of song.

Here's a little something to whet everyone's appetite.

So far we have 44 people in the club. And I was told that I might have difficulty finding enough people in the off season.

I'll be turning in the paperwork tomorrow after which we'll be assigned a day, time and place to meet. If you're interested please e-mail me by tomorrow at winstonoboogiejr@yahoo.com

Huge day in Beatles History!

1957
The Quarrymen perform at the Woolton Parish Church Fete. Ivan Vaughan introduces Paul to John.

Our first meeting is tomorrow, 10:00am Friday August 3 at the Odell Center. Hope to see everyone there.

The first meeting went very well. Twenty eight people showed up. Only about eight brought guitars but many said they would bring them to future meetings.
We watched video of the first two Ed Sullivan performances. Discussed a bit of trivia and played a bunch of Beatles song.
A splendid time was had by all.

Boogie if you go out today be sure to wear your Mac

The only Mac that I have these days has a keyboard and a mouse. But maybe someday I'll visit Penny Lane and buy a Mac.
