Steve Forbert - "You'd See The Things That I See" (Live at WKZE in Red Hook, NY, 6/7/24) [Audio]

IT WAS 67 YEARS AGO TODAY!

After the Quarrymen performed, they crossed the road with their instruments to the Woolton Village Hall, where they were slated to play another show that evening. Paul followed and was introduced to John by their mutual friend Ivan Vaughan. McCartney asked Lennon if he could borrow his guitar. He played Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” and then sat down at the hall’s piano and belted out Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally.” It was John’s turn to be impressed.

“I half thought to myself, ‘He’s as good as me,’” Lennon later told Hunter Davies, who wrote the first biography of The Beatles. “Now I thought, if I take him on, what will happen? It went through my head that I’d have to keep him in line if I let him join [the band]. But he was good, so he was worth having. He also looked like Elvis. I dug him.”
