It was 44 years ago today…!

Published February 7, 2008

Yes, on Friday 7 Feb 1964, the Beatles touched down at JF Kennedy airport, New York! This was the beginning of their first USA tour, a tour which took the USA by storm. After this tour, the Beatles had firmly broken into the USA market.

Can you believe it, 44 years ago! In fact, it was over 40 years ago when Sgt Pepper taught the band to play. I wonder how many of our current bands will still be remembered in 40 or 50 years time – not many I suspect. I can just see Britney Spears “Oops I did it again” being remembered in 40 years – naa, I think not.

Or how abour "ohh ohh ohh, I want your ahh ahh ahh"? Ok, so I made that one up, but you get the picture.

I am pretty sure that in 40 years time, people will still be singing "there’s a lady who’s sure/all that glitters is gold…"

I think that I will hang onto my CD’s for a while!
