    In 1964, I was seven years old, having been raised almost exclusively on my mother's opera music (she was a professional singer) and my father's love for American folk music. Dad was just back from a tour as a military advisor in Vietnam, and we watched Ed Sullivan on an old Zenith black and white television. All three of just just sat there with our mouths open unable to understand this amazing sound. I kind of liked it, but I dared not say a word... I waited until 1990 to tell my father that I liked hearing the Beatles that night.

    Excellent ! I have questioned certain aspects of Paul. but He came across very witty and charming. ( If he reads this it should certainly help his confidence.) Wow, hes a musician/songwriter for all time. So glad he's still around. It still hurts to think of George & John. thank you for postin g this.
