Natalie had quite a day today as we maxed out on Beatlemania opportunities locally.
Starting at the Beatles US label - the old Capitol Records building in Hollywood.
Where she found Paul McCartney's star on the Walk of Fame right outside the front door (along with Ringo, John and George, but no Pete Best or Stu Sutcliffe of course)!
Feeling inspired we made a quick trip over to Abbey Road in our time machine.
And found we had time to check out the latest fashions on Carnaby Street!
Hitting the Kaiserkeller in Hamburg to check out Rory Storm and the Hurricanes and their rocking drummer RIchard Starkey, taking top spot on a double bill with some lesser known Liverpool band called The Beatles.
Rory is the genius who convinced Richard to change his name to Ringo, and Starr was kind enough to let Natalie sit in on the drums during the last set.
My daughter would have kept going until last call but her old man had to get home and hit the hay after A Day In The Life of my little Beatles Fan #1.
enjoy!

Natalie: Miro and I spent one day at the Abby Road Studios in London. Ask him if he remembers.
