Yea John and Paul!

Garrison, or his peeps, sent this* out. It tickles part of my fancy. That part that wonders about who or what he might write about in any of our lives as we go to parties. Have we had our auspicious meeting with a partner, friend, that resulted in the equivalent of THE BEATLES?

Hmmm....?

Love, Giggles,

*It was on this day in 1957 that two teenagers named John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at a church dance in Liverpool, England. Lennon was performing at the dance with his band and McCartney was in the audience. McCartney was impressed by John's singing, so he introduced himself after the performance. They didn't hit it off until Paul mentioned that he played guitar, and he knew how to tune one. John was even more impressed that Paul knew the lyrics of recent rock and roll songs. John could never remember lyrics, which was why he often made up new ones while he was singing. Paul volunteered to write out the lyrics for the song "Be Bop a Lula" for John, and the two became fast friends. By 1959, they were calling themselves The Beatles.
