"It Was Fifty-Nine Years Ago Today.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                          And what comes after that number, girls???????????  Sixty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         Yes, on this day fifty-nine years ago, when all the world and us were younger, The Beatles released what I consider their masterpiece, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonelyhearts Club Band."  The cover alone made history, but what was inside was even more astonishing.  This pushed the group into a whole new realm.  And while some consider "Abbey Road" better, without this masterwork, the other would not have been.

                               Was this the first concept album???????????  Some say so, and I fully agree.

                               For those of us at the time it was and remains a life changing experience!

                               So, once more we celebrate its being.  

                               Watch out; next year, there is sure to be a party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Here is the album's celebrated opening, which includes Ringo's solo "With A Little Help From My Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                 Enjoy, and remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
