February 7, 1964 was the day the Beatles landed in America for the first time and Beatlemania began. If your a Beatle fan, and especially if you live in New York City this is pretty cool because it all happened here. WCBS-FM here in the apple is doing a 'Fab Four Fortieth Weekend' which sounds kinda goofy, but it isnt. Wondering if any of you out there in other cities are hearing about any Beatles goings on in your town. There are a few events here in NYC comemorating this anniversary including a party on Monday night in observance of the Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. The tremendous impact that The Beatles have had on the world is amazing. They still make the cover of Rolling Sone this far on, and their work can be examined on so many different levels. It reall is mind blowing. I drank a little bit-o-wine last night and gave 'Revolver' a good listen on the headphones which I had really never done before. I heard things that I never heard before...and it wasn't because of the vino! When I was listening to 'I'm Only Sleeping' I heard a yawn from John that was very subtle in the mix. I never heard that before!!!! It was pretty cool.

There a nice little presentation on the first visit at http://www.thebeatles.com . Check it out.
