Sixties music - can you remember the early
sixties songs about a caveman,a bikini, or a lion?
Or later sixties about a train ride, plane ride,or a PTA
meeting? Just wait, it will come back as you go back in
time with Baby Boom Memories.
On seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show - "I think
what got to me more than anything else was the audience.
The girls were screaming at the top of their lungs, and By James Murphy
some appeared to be ready to faint from the hysteria.
Meanwhile, the four Beatles seemed to be enjoying all the commotion,
just smiling and belting out their songs. I became an instant fan. I
studied each of their movements carefully, like Paul playing with his
feet together and moving his head from side to side. He seemed to
get the loudest screams when the camera was on him and smiled the
most. Ringo also appeared to be very happy with the frenzy,...".
"Needless to say, I was finished with Rick Nelson. I paid seventy
nine cents and got my first Beatles 45 record, I Want To Hold
Your Hand on one side and I Saw Her Standing There on the
other. I listened to those two songs for hours and stared at
the little jacket the record came in, the one with the
picture of them posed around a chair, Paul McCartney
holding a cigarette."
