From Yahoo! News.
Jacqueline Horsfall, then 15 years old, recalls her dad calling from the sofa: "The Beatles are on TV. Don't you want to watch?" She replied, "The what? Beatles?"
She joined her parents and wrote in her diary that night: "Sunday, February 9. The Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show tonight. Their haircuts are out of the world. I don't think they'll last long though."
The next day, she wrote: "Monday, February 10. All the kids and teachers were talking about the Beatles. Ten of their songs are in the Top Twenty. Almost immediately, we started imitating them."
"Tuesday, February 11 After church meeting tonight, everyone was acting like the Beatles. The boys wore their hair in a fringe, and we played two Beatle albums. An enterprising classmate sold Beatle photos at school snapped off the Ed Sullivan Show."
I sure wish I had been keeping a dairy or journal back then.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
