I remember the first time I heard The Beatles. I was in grade school and the older classes were learning ‘She Love’s You’ to be sang later that month at some school assembly. My parents were huge Beatles fans, so when they heard that I liked a Beatles song they went out of bought me a greatest hits tape. Two sides of all the best Beatles songs. I remember listening to these songs over and over again. Pushing rewind and play again and again if it was a game. The obsession grew until I was the biggest Beatles fan ever, like millions before me had already claimed. My uncle bought me my first Beatles CD, ‘Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band’.
After several years, I started getting into the solo careers of The Beatles. I started listening to McCartney. To this day one of my favorite albums of all time is ‘McCartney’. A collection of simple songs, with the hidden gem ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’. Of course I picked up the rest of the albums over time. ‘Ram’ was another favorite. One day at the local library I borrowed (remember when you checked out CDs?) John Lennon’s 1971 album ‘Imagine’. On it was a song called ‘How Do You Sleep?’
