After that, it was about 50 years of trying to unscrew myself.

Ain't that the truth.

Don't forget about the skeet shooting/surfing craze that swept the nation.

Then you remember those days too. There was an amazing number of British Bands which came from Liverpool and just about all of them were good.

I may have liked the Searchers even better than the Beatles.

I was a big Animals fan.

All of them were influenced by Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly....but I think the biggest influence on the Beatles was the Everly Brothers. You can hear their harmonies in every Beatles song.

I had every album of the Beatles back in the days. Wish I still had them.

Amazing how great their music is. Was a really good “shew” tonight. Paul and Ringo outshined everyone.

I was about to post that Herman’s Hermits didn’t get the cudos they deserved but I didn’t want to get flamed.

The DC5 had a very unique sound. I loved their music. Mike Smith spent the last 5 years of his life paralyzed from the waist down. Very sad.
