I just found out, amongst many others, watching CBS Sunday Morning, that there was another important concert, besides Woodstock, held in 1969. It is a film about a concert series, the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, (aka, “Black Woodstock”). I also found articles in People Magazine, dated 7/12/21, and USA Today Newspaper, dated 7/2/21. We are […]
Today during my MRI they played YouTube radio, classic rock. The first song was Rod Stewart, “Maggie May,” (I did not name my dog after this song, her name was Maggie Mae, (from what else, a Beatles song). Anyway I love this song, it brings me back to middle school, no specific memory. I am […]
I couldn’t wait to see the lady that lent me the scrapbook, to discuss the contents and find out exactly whose scrapbook it belonged to. I worked with her last week and the first question I asked was who’s scrapbook was it? Well I was quite surprised when she said it was hers! So much […]
A lady I volunteer with in the gift shop was telling me of having to go through a relatives estate and having found a scrapbook on The Beatles. She then said that I was probably too young. Well you know that ain’t right. I proceeded to tell her about my love, (obsession) with The Beatles […]

I was listening to the Beatles channel on Sirius XM and they were doing a segment called Dark Horse, which showcases George. The above song came on and I remembered how much I loved this album. Probably the most played album I had, (besides Sgt. Pepper) during my high school years. We all know that […]
It was 40 years ago today that John Lennon was murdered. I can clearly remember the events of that day. I was 22 years old, married, with a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son, living in a one bedroom apartment in New York, (Westchester County) I woke up to the phone […]
“The sound you make is muzak to my ears,” a lyric from John Lennon’s “How Do You Sleep.” This was an attempt by John to put down Paul’s music as silly and not important, no depth. This was after they broke up and there was a back and forth between them. Of course John’s retaliations […]
