I am not sure if I could post the url together. Once at my sites index, click [my record] to hear it. One side is already on You Tube as well, but the article on me also has a photo of me at 22 when I looked a lot like Paul. Especially like he did on the cover of the VJ record album released in 1963. with Please Please me and From Me to You.John W.

I could be wrong. At the moment I am trying to find the newspaper article about me at that concert. However I cannot remember as it was so long ago.<br />John W.

I was interviewed by the Chicago Suntimes under my stage name of Johnny York as I resembeld Paul McCartney at 22 years of age. A group of girls saw me and started screaming Paul. Two Chicago policemen escorted me to a safe area at the time. I am trying to get a copy of the news Item. at the time I later recorded a record with the Beatles on it. A novelty record called Mighty the Squirrel Meets the Beatles. That can be seen on You Tube under my name of John W. Allen. I made the record for my sister and a magazine article about how I made that record is on my website at mushroomjohn dot com under My Record. With a free download of the record I recorded, engineered and edited and distributed. Enjoy for those who love the Beatles. <br /><br />At the time, like the Elvis phenomena, All of my school mates made fun of me for liking the Beatles. Most were jealous that their many girl friends paid more attention to the Beatles than they did their boyfriends. But 'what the hay!' When I went to see the Beatles in Person at the Chicago International Amphitheatre was a blast. It was an indoor arena located in Chicago, Illinois, between 1934 and 1999. It was located on the west side of Halsted Street, Next tot he Chicago Stockyards it usually carried a smell of dead beef and stunk. But at the Beatles show, there were approximately 13,000 screaming wet their pants girls and about 100 guys. I was one of those and I met some cool girls I dated for a while. So, being one of a few in a multitude of many beautiful chicky-poohs, well that was okay by me no matter how much I was teased for being a Beatles fan by my friends. And my sister, whom I loved very much got one of Paul McCartney's hotel bed sheets and later sold one inch cuttings for a $1.00 each per square inch piece of that sheet on one of the many teen fab magazines of the time. I made that Mighty the Squirrel record for her.John W.
