| It's time to travel back in time to the early 1960's. I was nine years old when The Beatles came to America and changed American music forever, not to mention American hair cuts. I remember seeing them of The Ed Sullivan Show that night and being amazed by their music and by the way they looked. I couldn't imagine why anyone would wear their hair so long. LOL. Looking back, it's hilarious that their haircuts seemed to be so long. It was also the first time I had heard anyone sing with a British accent. I was mesmerized. They remain my favorite band to this day. They had that special magic that happens when the right people find each other and create a unique style of music that takes the world by storm. I watched on TV the other night as many singers honored their fiftieth anniversary of coming to America by singing their own renditions of Beatles songs. Then, my heart beat fast as Paul McCartney (my favorite) stood on stage and performed several of my favorites. Ringo sang some also, and then they sang together. I loved all the old songs, but I have to admit I was longing to hear one of my favorites, "Hey, Jude," which Paul finally sang while playing the piano. It was a perfect performance. I missed John Lennon, though, and George Harrison. What an awesome performance that would have been to have all four of the Fab Four back together again! It was a wonderful trip down memory lane, though, and I'm glad I got to experience it. Do you have a favorite band or singer who changed your view of music forever? |
