  1. Way cool! Can you imagine? I live in NYC, I can't even imagine bumping into John Lennon (or any of the Beatles!).

    Been away for a week, wow, great pics i've been missing!!!

    Hey, Sara, I have a....request! A rare request!! When I was a young lad of about 9, I remember seeing a news article about Ringo's house burning down. I think it was 1978 or 79. There was a picture of a forlorn Ringo, in sunglasses, watching his house burn down, while a fan rushed up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and looked to be sobbing, in gratitude that he was safe.

    I've never seen it since I was about 9! So...if it's something you might have in your collection....since it's definitely a person meeting a Beatle for real.....I'd love to see it again! Even though it's a sad picture.

    So there 'tis! Just a little request, I did a search around the net, I couldn't find it. There is a short news clip of it on You Tube I just found.

    Anyway, glad to be back!

    1. Believe it or not, I have the Ringo photo you are thinking of! My electronic Beatles photo collection is pretty amazing. I wish I could show off all of the photos. I can't locate your email, so if you could drop me a line, I will email you that Ringo photo from the fire. There is a story about the fire somewhere around here....

  3. This photo was taken outside the INS office downtown NYC, the fan standing next to John is Robin Titone, who also co-authored a book about the Beatles ...just thought you'd like to know that! :)
