A sad day indeed, a lovely man. I can remember lining up with my older =
sister and her friends, who had made a 90 foot long banner , to wave to =
them on their
way in from the airport. Back when they played in Adelaide in 64. Yeah =
I'm showing my age. My sister was lucky to have a ticket to see them, =
and did she have a crush on George. And Pete Best was the replacement =
drummer when Ringo was sick, for trivia fans
What a time. Adelaide had the record for a public reception. 300,000 =
turned out to see them out of 800,000 people. Nothing like it before or =
since here.
All Things Must Pass used to be one of my favorite albums in the 70s. =
wore it out back when vinyl was king.
Course he also came here himself later when the Grand Prix's were on =
here.
Regards Woffles and Anna
