A First-Ladies and Gentlemen-The Beatles

Today is day 25 and all it says is a first. So hmm what first could I write about. I will write about the first time I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was February 9, 1964 It was a few months before my 6th birthday. We were living in Indian Harbor Beach Florida. My dad was in the Air Force and stationed at Patrick AFB. I knew who the Beatles were, I have 3 older sisters who introduced us younger ones to rock and roll. We were all excited to see them. we had a black and white TV.



















My dad only had two rules, we had to be ready for bed and we were not allowed to scream when they came on TV. I was in the bathroom getting my PJ's on and all of the sudden they were announced. I remember clutching my pajama top to my chest and screaming really loud. Talk about Beatles Mania!! It was alive and well in our household. I did not get in trouble though. My dad understood the historical significance of what it meant for these 4 guys to be on the Ed Sullivan Show.
















So that is my memory of the first time The Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show February 9, 1964. They appeared two the next two Sundays in February but I will always remember that first appearance.
