Song of the moment

48 years ago today, the "British Invasion" began when The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show Sunday night,

February 9, 1964, launching their first American tour and changing the music scene forever.

The Beatles performed 5 songs that night: "All My Loving," "Till There Was You," "She Loves You," "I Wanna Hold Your Hand,"

And "I Saw Her Standing There."

I remember watching this with my parents on that Sunday night, I was in third grade and

instantly fell in love with them and their music. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

I remember watching them too! Such excitement was in the air. That summer my friends and I got Beatle wigs and wore them while riding our bikes, screaming and singing and laughing the whole time.

A Beatle wig - authentic no less. :biglaugh:

Your memory of that summer brought back one of mine.

A bunch of us kids would drag the mono record player (remember those?) out to the garage and

put on a Beatles concert, playing the air guitar, the air drums, and lip syncing of course.

Such Fun!

In memory, with great sadness...
