1993. One of our foreign exchange salespeople, processing wires from EMI to four people, three of whom she recognized (Paul , George and Mrs Ono) asked me, "But who's Richard Starkey?" I was then 33. Heck of it was, she was only late 20s.

A couple young teenage girls were going through the “B’s” of the record store I managed, and I heard, “oh look…Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings!” -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 4:32 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: It finally happened Seriously???

Maybe that was why the kid got scared? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Warfel" To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 11:38:23 AM Subject: It finally happened I was in a fast food resturant this week. I was wearing a tee-shirt with an image from the Beatles cartoon show. The clerk, who looked every bit of 16, asked me what the Beatles were and why it wasn't spelled like the insect. I must have looked at her like I was dumbfounded and she got a little scared. She told me that she thought she heard her dad talk about them the other day with one of his friends and she thought it might be a band. (A band !!!) I proceeded to sing a little of "She Loves You" and "Yesterday". She was like "I know those songs but I thought they were folk songs". At 54, I felt extremely old. I told her that they played those songs on AM radio when I was in elementary school and that I had the 45 of Hello Goodbye/Penny Lane. I could tell that that was completely foreign to her. Tom, who remembers when groups had two sided hits.
