It was 61 years ago today...


You are part of a select group of music fans to perhaps see on television, read the newspaper or maybe even be there to experience arguably a HUGE moment in music history.

I was only 2, so all I cared about was eating and sleeping. Maybe I was in the room while my family watched the Ed Sullivan show, later that week?

On this day in history, Feb. 7, 1964, Beatles arrive in US for first time, inspire nationwide mania (yahoo.com)

Haha!

Yes, my actions often are often out of synch with my  brain!

59 doesn't have a better flow either...

 

 

Older brothers and many I've spoken to over the years mention 3 events-

Elvis, the Fab Four and Stones.

I can only imagine listening/seeing any of them like the rest of the world for the 1st time. 

I'm not aware of any new music events that happened in the last 4-5 decades that can compare?

Oh well, the world has Beyonce, Hip Hop and the rest. Carry on.

It's a treat to reading everyone's experiences.

Great story Deadhead1000!
