When I saw the photo in the February 9, 2009 issue of The Record, it was
total recall. It was 1964, supper was on the table
and the Ed Sullivan show was about to appear on the tube.
Lynn,
then 14 and in high school, was all exited about a new very popular musical
group that was appearing on the show – I think it was an 8 o’clock program. When Ed announced their appearance, barely
heard over the screams of the audience, we all left the table to view what
ultimately became an historical television event.
And there they were! Ed, known for his total control of his programs, could do little more than introduce the Beatles and get out of the way while they played to their very appreciative screaming studio audience.

I’ll never forget it, though my interest in their performance was nil. It took many years, but I finally came around to acknowledging their many contributions to music and the entertainment world.
