Happy Birthday, Rick!
The Turtles had so many great songs back in the 60's. I'd love to get that greatest hits collection someday.
A day of beginnings and endings for the Beatles. What a shame that there was so much animosity and legal entanglements when they parted ways.
Gary Busey did a wonderful job of portraying Buddy Holly!

Happy Birthday, Rick Wakeman, one of the truly great rock keyboard players ever.
Turtles "slowly" moving through the charts. A great under rated group from the sixties.
The Beatles & The Band in concert. I was to young for the Beatles and just missed seeing The Band in San Fransisco.
