My mom had of few of their albums on vinyl, but she would always listen to this 45 of I Want to Hold Your Hand and I Saw Her Standing There. Of those two songs, I've always been more partial to I Saw Her Standing There. :)Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-30012790073437614352017-10-06T19:19:02.885-07:002017-10-06T19:19:02.885-07:00I was born in 1965 but the Beatles played a huge r...I was born in 1965 but the Beatles played a huge role in my childhood. My best friend and I pretended we were dating Beatles (I chose Ringo) and were part of their singing group. Yep, we were the Lady Birds with hairbrushes for microphones. When I lived in London it was just off Abbey Road, near "the" crosswalk.

I've learned in all my reading that originally Hey Jude was Hey Jules. Paul wrote it for Julian Lennon after his parent's divorce. Then he changed Jules to Jude, perhaps because it was easier to sing.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-7299194781161597192017-10-04T23:09:01.793-07:002017-10-04T23:09:01.793-07:00My friend Teresa said:

When I was in high school in the early 80s, there was a Sgt. Pepper movie starring Peter Frampton and the BeeGees. I loved it, and it got me hooked on the original album, which got me interested in the rest of their music."Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-65648004482839532632017-10-04T22:44:38.408-07:002017-10-04T22:44:38.408-07:00Kathy!

Either time/place, I was jealous of you getting to see them in person. Could you hear them at all, or did everyone just spend the whole concert screaming?Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-64364244849335153322017-10-04T22:36:14.975-07:002017-10-04T22:36:14.975-07:00<3 Love this trip down memory lane Anne.

And we took turns buying the latest albums, which we'd then share. My favorite Beatle was John and has really stayed so - though I struggled with his relationship with Yoko... my best friend, also a Kathy, chose Paul. Margaret's fav was George... her best friend was a year younger & was left with Ringo... Though truthfully, over the years I grew to love each of the Beatles for their distinct personalities & musical styles. I remember watching The Ed Sullivan show & trying to take a photo of the TV images with my Brownie Starmite. I was told the film wouldn't register the images, but I had faith! :-) <br /><br />This was fun! ~Kathy <br /><br />P.S. a small correction to your memory of my trip to see The Beatles. The concert was in 1965, in Portland. Randy B's mother drove up there in her station wagon & when we got home that evening we all went to see the movie Help! A very fun, very full day - just heavenly for Beatles-crazed friends!K.Lundquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634643584976427600noreply@blogger.com
