I am still holding out to meet Paul or Ringo someday. I don't know how it will happen, but I still have hope. In the meantime, I enjoy meeting various other "Beatle people." I get teased a lot for it, but it is alright because it makes me happy. This past October I met someone who was a Beatle once in his life....Pete Best! And while he is not Ringo, I was still pretty excited to met him because he is an important chapter in the Beatles story. He was playing a concert during the George Harrison Beatles Festival in Benton, IL (which is about 2 hours south of where I live). I attended the festival and then I seriously snuck into the sound check that Pete was doing. It is amazing when you look confident and act like you belong how people doing question you. After the sound check, I got Pete to autograph one of his books for me as well as pose for a photo. The concert was really good. I was happy that the Pete Best Band played a LOT of songs from Beatles Anthology 1 disc. Pete did not sing at all. One of my biggest surprises was that Roag Best (Neil Aspinall's son) was also playing drums with the band. Too cool!
