A trip down memory lane






If you're old enough to remember the Beatles, well, you're old... Having said that, one is never too old to enjoy their music and learning about their history. Our second day back in England started with a Beatles tour. The trip into Liverpool involved a "ferry cross the Mersey" (Anyone know the song; Jerry and the pacemakers?)
After a brief wait and some dockside entertainment provided by Mr. H, Paddy Pascal and a few dozen crazed pigeons we met our very knowledgeable guide Jackie. From that point we were treated to a fascinating history lesson on the lives of all the Beatles and learned about the events that brought the band members together as well as the places and events that shaped their music and careers. As we went through the old streets stopping at various locations, the music played, the lyrics now came to us. Magic.
