The Beatles

My Favorite Band:  THE BEATLES
Read "My Thoughts About The Beatles" (below)

     I really hope to have a special page devoted just to this great band.  Some of you like the Beatles.  Others of you can do without them.  I grew up "in love" with them
 

My Thoughts About The Beatles

   I remember my first memories of The Beatles.. my dad buying me their first albums at Woolworth's for $2.49.. banging sticks on the bedposts while listening to their songs..  watching them on The Ed Sullivan Show while my dad filmed it with an 8mm movie camera {no SmartPhone or digital cameras in that day}.. my mom helped me make Beatles puppets for my third grade class project, complete with outfitted suits and drum kit with the Beatles logo.. if I had been a teenager when the Beatles hit America, I would have probably been one of the fans at Shea Stadium.. I was that big of a Beatles fan.. but at my age, I settled for my own bedroom.

  Most fans loved songs like "She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", and while I did like those songs, the Beatles songs that I really loved ended up being their single "B" sides, or even throwaway album songs.  Some of my favorites were "Devil in Her Heart";  "You Can't Do That" ; "And I Love Her";  and "Here, There and Everywhere."

   
More later on The Beatles.. !
