Shea warm up


 

This photo is Paul and John backstage in 1965 at Shea Stadium.  Looks like they are tuning their guitars.  They are talking to Murray the K.  The girls in the photo are Patty Michaels and most likely her sister, Dale.  

If you want to read Patty's story -- I posted it back in 2012.  Click the link below.

Murray the K and friends

Really???  The Beatles were in New York in April of 1964?  I don't think so.   Most likely taken at one of the clubs like the Peppermint Twist in Feb 1964.

Relaxing Ringo

photo taken by Nat Weiss


I am having a hard time determining if this is Ringo in Miami in Feb. 1964 or Ringo in Key West Florida in September 1964.    I am pretty sure it is Miami.      This photo was taken in Miami in February 1964 with Murray the K. sitting next to Ringo.   Thanks to everyone for the help!

Vending

I love this photo!  The girl sitting in the train seats just looked shocked.   She thought she was simply going to buy some swiss cheese on rye bread---not see John Lennon walking by.

So easy even a Beatle can do it!

Here are our favorite four guys with Bernadette Castro, who was known for being in a popular commercial as a child for her family owned company, Castro Convertibles.   These weren't cars, but sofas with bed in them and the commercials showed Bernadette as a young girl pulling out the sofa with the statement that it was so easy, that even a child could do it.    She became the head of the company and owns it to this very day. 

The only article I could find about Ms. Castro meeting the Beatles just said that due to the popularity of her ads, she was able to meet many famous people including the Beatles.   But by the time she met the Beatles, her ads would have been off the air since she no longer was a child.   It appears that Murray the K. was somehow behind this.   I am sure that the Beatles had no idea who she was and it was just another meet and greet for them.
