June 25th is Global Beatles Day. Same date every year. Annual holiday to honor and celebrate the

ideals of the Beatles. It commemorates their

participation in the BBC program Our World in 1967, performing “All you need is love” which was broadcasted to an international audience. It’s my

Christmas in June 😎

For those of you who get AXS on your cable or satellite:

Live From Daryl's (Hall) House is on at 9 PM on Sunday.

These are not new shows but still fun to watch.

John Lennon 1940-1980

I take the train to the city every 12/9 and visit with the folks at Strawberry Fields across from the Dakota.

When we were younger we'd walk to the 72nd St. entrance where they'd put up a little guard shack. We'd walk to the middle of the street (not too close) with beers in our hands and look at the guard. The guard would look us over then give us a little nod. And we'd pour the beer out onto the street. All twelve ounces. Took a few seconds. Sometimes stopped traffic. Usually they wouldn't blow their horns at us. They knew.
