It was 61 years ago today...


You are part of a select group of music fans to perhaps see on television, read the newspaper or maybe even be there to experience arguably a HUGE moment in music history.

I was only 2, so all I cared about was eating and sleeping. Maybe I was in the room while my family watched the Ed Sullivan show, later that week?

On this day in history, Feb. 7, 1964, Beatles arrive in US for first time, inspire nationwide mania (yahoo.com)

I was a kid & remember watching w/ my parents who I recall not being too impressed so therefore I wasn’t . When Rubber Soul & Revolver came out, it all changed!! Ground breaking stuff from supremely talented artists & the world never looked back. They could & did it all in their own style: harder rock, folksy love songs, spiritual / deeper meaning songs & just fun stuff. 
 

I told my Dad about 30 years ago that the Beatles would one day be considered to have as much worldly influence & be more famous than Beethoven or Mozart & he said no way. Not long before he passed away a couple years ago, he agreed. Truly great artists & art endures. People will know & listen to the Beatles for a long time.
