Fan Recalls 1964 Lennon Meeting in NY

I found this lovely story of a woman who met the Beatles in NYC when they first arrived in the States for the Sullivan Show. It is a really sweet story. Enjoy!

John and the hippie fan from Imagine

Snowed/iced in today and the movie Imagine was on Vh1 Classics. Now I have this wonderful movie on DVD (and VHS) but for some reason I got sucked into watching it on TV with commericals. One of my favorite fan meeting moments has to be this lovely hippie guy that is shown in the film. He somehow thinks that some of the Beatles songs are deeply written for him, and John sets him straight. And then invited him in for food! Everytime I watch this it just amazes me.

Now there are people online that believe this hippie guy is the exact same one that is in another video (David Frost maybe) where questions are being asked from the audience. I do not think they are the same guy.

Lizze and Gayleen on the One Show

Way before I actually had the chance to "talk" to Lizzie Bravo here online, I was fascinated by the story of how she and Gayleen were chosen to sing the background one "Across the Universe." I remember thinking after I first heard their story, "Oh my goodness...that could have been me!" I am a singer and I am sure that if I had been outside that day and was asked who can hold a high note, I would have jumped up and said, "me sir! me sir!" And then move over Lizzie and hello Sara! hahahaha! But really it is so neat because it is something Beatle fans DREAM about and it really happened to two of our very own. Lizzie and Gayleen weren't musicians. They were fans who were fortunately enough to be there and get the amazing once in a lifetime opportunity to sing with the Beatles on a really awesome song!

Lizzie emailed me this link to of her and Gayleen's recent interview with the One show in England. I really love it! Check out the awesome fan photos that are shown! And see the love and excitement these two ladies still share when talking about The Beatles.

Thanks Lizzie and Gayleen for allowing us to live through your experience once again. Wishing you both all the best. From Sara....the 2nd gen fan in Illinois.

Some more Paul photos from ebay

For the video of the song "Take it away" Paul invited members of his fan club to be the audience in the concert scene. This photo is a picture one of those invited fan club members took during the taping.

I always liked Paul and Linda's look here. They seem to be at Cavendish Avenue...
