George and the luggage

 June 1969 

One of the biggest pain points for me when traveling is luggage.  I feel for George -  in 1969 there wasn't the handy bads on wheels that we have today.  That luggage and guitar had to get heavy fast.  Thank goodness Terry is there to help! 

Remebering Terry Doran

Sadly another person in the Beatles' inner circle has passed away.   Today we lost Terry Doran after he had been ill for a long time.

Many think of Terry as the "man from the motor trade,"  but I think of him as the guy that was always having to talk to George's fans outside of Kinfauns and Friar Park.   They got to know Terry pretty well.

He will be missed by Beatle fans everywhere.  RIP Terry.

They put a man on the Moon

Did you ever wonder what the Beatles were doing the day man first stepped on the moon?   Well, friends, on July 20, 1969, it was one small step for man and one first viewing of the rough cut of "Let it Be" for Beatles.   This version was an hour longer and included more of John and Yoko.   George's parents were in town and so they came to watch the film as well. 

After the showing, a party was held at The Revolution thrown by David Frost to celebrate the moon landing.   George has said that he remembers staying up with his Dad watching man walk on the moon.   

Yoko took photos that day.  It is on that mystery stolen film that appeared a few years back.

Ain't She Sweet

Terry Doran for Real

There is a post from a long time ago that I mistakenly identified someone else as Terry Doran.   Even though I changed the information, that post still gets  a lot of activity with questions and comments about Terry.   So I thought it was about time to post a REAL photo of Terry Doran (with John Lennon) so that viewers can actually comment about Terry under a photo with Terry in it.
