Song 807: This week on the playlist you can hear From Me to You by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. On the second week of February in 1964, I started hearing my junior high classmates using a word that I thought referred to insects and I didn't know why they would discuss something like that in the middle of winter, though I also considered the possibility that a top VW form had reached a landmark moment that I hadn't yet found out about. When I asked my neighbor playmate buddy about the word I'd been hearing, he found it amusing that his supposedly-smart A+ pal didn't have a clue about that moment's biggest news. My family and I often watched the Ed Sullivan Show, but I found out that we had all missed one of its most historic sequences. We then decided to stay home for the upcoming one, rather than going to church, and while my religious parents and grandparents had no interest in the sounds that the tube conveyed that night, my younger brother and I quickly became fans of the Fab Four as they performed this classic lift and a few other memorable rides. Before we witnessed that sequence, I probably would not have known if the group had anything that I might want, but after seeing and hearing them, I soon felt that their music could help to keep me satisfied.
