I couldn't have said it better, Russ! People say to me that the fact that I am a Beatle fanatic is somewhat of an obvious choice or a safe choice! I tell them I have been listening to all kinds of music for 45 yearsd and no one band or artist equals The Beatles. I still remember February 9th,1964, their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show! I've been hooked ever since ! Then came Yesterday, Ticket to Ride, Girl ....when 8 days a week came out I called my best friend and said ....he interrupted me ..I know another new Beatles song...lol..While driving or cruising around in the summer of 68 I heard that unforgettable opening Paul McCartney vocal...Hey Jude...We stopped the car and I was mesmermised ...I said "God, they did it again! "....fond memories indeed.

I feel that they are part of me as im sure a lot of other people do too.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
