I was only 7 at the time but was aware of the buzz from my sister who was three years older. I don’t recall what I did that day but was banished to my bedroom for unacceptable behavior and missed the program. But for Christmas that year I asked for and received my very first album Introducing The Beatles. Sorry it was my second. My first was Bye Bye Birdie. Because I was of course in love with Ann Margaret. But I still have that original Beatles album.
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?
