Actually, I can time my conversion to a fan of the Beatles to a single event -- senior prom in Manila, Philippines (all 12 of us in the graduating class!) in May of 1965. We had hired a local band and Beatlemania was rampant in the Philippines. When they did their excellent cover of "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" I was hooked!

My favorites Beatle song, though, is a cover by the Beatles of a Buddy Holly tune from the same album (kind of ironic given the brilliance of the Beatles orginial songs) and, since I am an official Komputer Klutz, I can't seem to get the song up. It's "Words of Love" with that divine Beatles harmony.

Your link doesn't work for me.

I was a fan of The Beatles when I heard/saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. Their first live performance in the U.S. I was 9yo.

Here's a favorite cover of mine. A Chuck Berry tune.

I believe that's George Martin, their producer, playing piano here.

I haven't forgotten that you would like a pic or two of Abbey Road in St Johns Wood, Esteban where the Four made their famous walk on that zebra crossing. It's just that I haven't been to that neck of the woods and as you probably know we have a car hating mayor that imposes road restrictions with cameras nearly everywhere so it's not easy just stopping there if I would be up that way.

You must have a listen to Abbey Road, Rick. It's my favorite Beatles album. Love the medley on the back side. Love the whole record.

Here's my favorite song on the album. It's also the first song on the album.

Haha...I graduated in 1986 from high school. Between cutting school to go skating, surfing, bodyboarding, etc. it's amazing that I graduated.

Same here. I was a major goof off. Failed several classes and barely passed by the skin of teeth. 22 years later, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Geology. Just had to grow up enough to take education seriously.
