I certainly remember when the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. I was probably six. The neighbors' young teenage daughter came over (they didn’t have a TV) and Mom made TV dinners. Mom liked them, Dad was indifferent, and I was dumbfounded. At the time I didn’t care about music, but I liked listening to it when Mom played her stereo. That night, that performance – something was in the air, and even at that young age I knew it.
Thus for me (and millions of others) it began.
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?
