It Was 50 Years Ago This Year...

For those who were on the earth then, it seems totally bazaar that The Beatles first came to public attention on the 5th October 1962.  Unknown to most outside of Liverpool or Hamburg, The Beatles released their first single in the UK on that date; and the rest as they say is history.
Blowing open musical doors for legions to fall through and even today, to an ear tutored in the '60's they still influence those who pick up a guitar for simple pleasure or perhaps elusive fame.

Eleanor Rigby from their1966 album "Revolver" is still as powerful and dark as the day when first heard.
