Here Comes the Sun and Remembering Back.....

I don't know about the rest of you, but I spent Sunday February 9th watch the Grammy Salute to the Beatles.  I waited a little while to write a post about it, I am not sure why.  I was born after their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, but I do remember my older sister crying when they announced that the band had broken up.

Like most of my generation, I grew up listening to Beatles songs, my older siblings were fans from that first Ed Sullivan show appearance.  Their music was readily available, and in time, I too became a fan.  I remember well, that horrible news on the 8th of December, 1980, the Beatles would never be able to come together again.  Sorry, that was a bad play on song titles.  

As much as any other group, they defined a generation, changed things.  Whether you like them or not, it is hard to deny their influence on music and society.  Watching other performers sing their songs, I was taken aback by the joy on Ringo's  and Paul's faces as their music was being performed.  I don't know why it surprised me so, there were a couple of performances that I didn't care for, but I found it refreshing to see two music icons beam with pride and excitement while their songs were played.  

I realized that it was good to just sit back and remember good times, listening to their music.  It did take me back to some simpler, more carefree times.  Great memories!
