john, paul, george, and ringo began their first u.s. tour on august 19, 1964. they had been here before, for a quick visit (a couple concerts and television appearances). this time it was a month long tour. 30 concerts in 23 cities. it was the beginning of the british invasion.
i love the beatles. i mean...i LOVE the beatles. i must have worn out the grooves on my parents' white album. their music takes me back to many different places in my life. even music they put out individually has a special place in my memory.
my uncle plays the white album every time i visit. he tells me when he heard it for the first time: just before he left the states on a plane for vietnam. we all have that album. that album that takes you back to a life changing moment in time. what's yours?
