<\/a><\/p>\n| Happy New Year, Fellow Beatles Fans,<\/p>\n I know I have told this story in the past, but it’s been 5 years, so I thought I should dust it off and add a little more to it.<\/p>\n It was 55 years ago today, January 6, 1964 that I first heard\u00a0I Want To Hold Your Hand<\/strong><\/em>. It was a moment that forever changed my life and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the first day back from the two week Christmas\/New Year\u2019s vacation where I had no access to radio. I was listening to WABC on the Scott Muni Show (shown above with John). I was doing my homework and the song came on the radio. I got so excited. I never heard ANYTHING that sounded like that before. I wanted to know who it was. I was hooked before the song was over. Scottso came on and said that it was by a group from England called The Beatles. My first thought was \u2018What a strange name!\u2019 The very next day, Tuesday, was new survey day and I came home from school and it was #1. It was still #1 when they appeared on the\u00a0Ed Sullivan Show<\/em>\u00a0almost five weeks later.<\/p>\n Just this past week, a friend showed me a signed copy of Introducing The Beatles<\/em><\/strong>, after cleaning out a family member’s storage unit. Not being a hard core Beatles fan, he had no idea if the signatures were real or not. Of course, they weren’t. The strange thing is, I too, signed the cover of that album that my brother bought for my birthday two week later. I do not know why I signed it (BTW, I had the names wrong originally – it was difficult to tell them apart in those VERY early days!). I never signed another album by anybody, ever again – it was a one time thing which I cannot explain! Did any of you reading this have a similar experience?<\/p>\n Peace and Love, Happy New Year, Fellow Beatles Fans, I know I have told this story in the past, but it’s been 5 years, so I thought I should dust it off and add a little more to it. It was 55 years […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7629"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7629\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7633,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7629\/revisions\/7633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.thefest.com\/?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
