We didn't have a TV until i was 16--1967, which i think made me appreciate and listen to music--my Dad only played classical which i still love today but in the wilds of Wyoming there were no pop music stations on the radio--only country--we had to wait until nighttime to listen to KOMA Oklahoma City. However, my best friend's family had a TV and told me about the Beatles arrival--he was a music nut and spent every dime of his bag boy earnings on LPs so i heard Meet the Beatles and Zeppelin and Hendrix and everything through him...i was really lucky to have a friend like that RIP...
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?
