at one of the casinos here. It will be interesting, to say the least.

I used to have a real Beatle wig for a skit we did as Cub Scouts. The scoutmaster put on the wrong side of the song we were supposed to pantomime (instead of I Want to Hold Your Hand she put on I Saw Her Standing There) but we all knew the words to that one too so nobody noticed.

Biggest Beatles fan on the planet here....

Is there a way to see online what will be for sale?

Have a wonderful time. This song from Let It Be reminds me of it:

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home

Hope you snag some great Beatles stuff.

But all his June shows were canceled. But he comes back to Dallas October 13. Going to see Ringo July 5.

Good luck at that sale. I hope the price of some items have cooled since the golden years, but I wouldn't count on it. The Beatles' popularity should live on well after we're gone. The first vinyl LP I ever bought was the "White Album". I'm still a big fan.



This photo was strongly considered before they picked the one they used:


But these were also taken that day:








I wish I still had my Beatles cards. They were like baseball cards but featured pix of the Fab Four with fun facts on the reverse. No one I ask even seems to remember them.

they came with crappy sheets of bubblegum.

I thought it was a talcom covered stiffener so the cards wouldn't warp. Did you put everything in your mouth when you were a kid?

Just kidding, it's good to connect with someone else who recalls those. I wonder where they all are? I've never seen them since.

I'd guess they are in some pretty awesome collections of Beatles memorabilia.

Cool photos of the Abbey Road shoot. Thanks!

some of it was pretty silly, like the Beatles on a beach, wearing what looked like Gay '90s striped swimsuits and waving straw hats. I'm sorry I threw out the cards way back. They would have been worth some $$ now, e.g., like the round plastic record case I also owned that now goes for $450.00. Who knew?

it is heavy and made from metal. It has little wheels on the bottom, and when you roll it, the multiple periscopes spin around. There are two hatches that open with two of the boys in each. Alas, when I was a wee lad I popped open one of the hatches and two little guys flew out across the room and disappeared down the furnace grate in the hallway floor. I wonder if they're still down there? I no longer live in that house.

It was like 40 something years ago. I DO still live in the same city. I'll report back if something happens. I just checked and it was George and Ringo who went on a wild ride into the abyss, Paul and John are still snug in the sub.

mine looks most like the first one, pretty sure it was an original series and not a reproduction. Of course, I suppose there are ways of finding that out, infranets and Antique Roadshow people and all...

I probably can't afford it. But I agree about Abbey Road, 'though I'd miss Let it Be (the song), which in my opinion is the most sublime song ever.

1962 Rickenbacker 425, though I'd rather have his 12 string Rickenbacker.
