So long Pete Bennett

I just read on one of the Beatles news sights that Pete Bennett passed away.  That made me want to share these photos that Lizzie sent a while back.  They were taken by Vinnie Zuffante.

    Whoever is the particular Anonymous who left the first comment, next time you leave a comment, why don't you do it without the attitude and snark. Sara puts alot of love into this blog, shares all this stuff with us for FREE.....a simple correction would have sufficed....and it turns out you were wrong all along. -mg

    1. Ah, of course, Sara. People should be lining up to give you hand massages, for all the typing you're doing on these amazing stories!!! Not scolding you!

      Hey, by the way, (and not to be maudlin), don't know if you remember or not, but there's no need to scan that Stu Sutcliffe death article that's in one of those fanzines I sent you....just found it by chance here.

      Poor Stu. Two things I wish we knew about Stu: what his voice sounded like, and what his humor was like! Was he "Beatley"? (he must have been!). I keep a list of questions for Macca if I ever get a chance to interview him (fat chance!)...and that's one of them!

      Good ole Pete Bennett. Look at him up there, hanging with John, looks like they're having a great night....life is so fleeting :(
