I came to Australia from England in 1964, the same year The Beatles toured Australia. I was only 9 years old and was not allowed to go to the concert. When we came I had two records, the single She Loves You and the EP Twist and Shout. I still have these records today. I remember going on a holiday to Adelaide in either 1965 or 66. We stayed with one of my brothers friends who had a few Beatles albums. I was sitting on the floor with their record player and playing the album Help. I played each side several times over -- it was the highlight of my holiday. The day John Lennon died. I was devastated. A friend came round and we listened to Beatles music, a radio station was playing non stop Beatles. It was a tragic and emotional night.
