Hey Jude

We didn't catch him. He was on a coach and we were running behind it.

When I'm 64.

Glammanana, I used to go to the lunch sessions at the cavern - the bands were practicing - we paid 1/- and never wanted to go back to work- used to hang on as long as possible, then run back to the office in the Cunard building on the Pier Head.

They landed at Speke airport after the first trip to America, and the streets were lined with fans. They were in a black cab and passed very close to me, smiling and waving, all four of them. Didn't even take a photo, but the image is engraved on my brain. Oh the excitement of those heady days. They took America by storm - nobody had the impact they had. Beatlemania!!

Strawberry Fields.
Let it be.

Strawberry Fields plus too many more favorites. The Beatles were absolutely the best and even more popular than Elvis in the US. They did take America by storm. I remember watching them on "The Ed Sullivan Show" - the very first time they came to the US.

Norwegian Wood.

"She's leaving home."
" Eleanor Rigby"---always feel so sorry for Father McKenzie, sitting writing that sermon that nobody would hear, and for Eleanor, that nobody went to her funeral.

So many.. Such insight into life for such young men.

When I see teenagers who don't want to get out of bed, I think of..

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Lay in bed float upstrteam.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me
Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping
