Happy birthday John Lennon

Lots of RIPs in 2020 but much happiness to remember! Here’s a page from The Beatles Bible about celebrations of what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday:

Yes, we need to remember the good times and the joy. Recently watched the documentary "Good Ol' Frida" about the Beatles Fan Club secretary. A fun way to remember the times if you get a chance.

I’d never heard of “Good Ol’ Freda” and find it on the Roku Channel. Thanks!

What a fun band!

Talking about fun. Here’s one I hadn’t seen where John forgets where they were in the tune. Who cares?

One of the greatest songwriters ever. I wasn't very excited when he married Yoko Ono and thought that she might have been responsible for the breakup of the Beetles but in hindsight I think Yoko was a very positive influence on him and I think he made some of his best music. So sad that his life was ended so early - we were deprived of one of the best of all time.

Happy Bday to the Walrus!

Lol! DD's birthday too. Her oldest daughter was born on George's birthday, and the younger one missed Paul's by 3 days. I kept telling her to squeeze her knees together for a few more days, but kids these days, they never listen to their parents. We coulda gotten the band back together!
