Beatlemania crept into my childhood and robbed me of it. I had been in training for classical and marching percussion and when I got real frisky, I played along with Tijuana Brass and Al Hirt records. The Beatles changed everything and my instructors were horrified, but soon realized that I had redoubled my efforts, and I was passed up the chain to my teachers teachers.
Doh!
Well Gnight FRiend.
