Here is the former Empress Pub, immortalized by Ringo on his solo album Sentimental Journey. The mural on it is gorgeous! It’s not far from Ringo’s childhood home in Liverpool. #beatles #fabFour #ffmc

The legendary Penny Lane! The shelter in the middle of the roundabout is still there. The barbershop has changed owners. The bank is now a surgical place. Still a must-see location! #beatles #ffmc #fabFour

I got to meet two of the original Quarrymen this summer, the group formed by John Lennon that would eventually morph into The Beatles! Here are Rod Davis and Colin Hanton! #beatles #ffmc #skiffle

More pics from my visit to the Casbah Coffee Club in Liverpool. John Lennon's original carving is still in the ceiling! #beatles #ffmc

Also in Liverpool, the Casbah Coffee Club! The Beatles played here many times before the Cavern. Painted by John, Paul, George, Pete, Mona, and Cynthia, the art on the ceiling and walls is still original. The stage was much smaller than I thought! #beatles #ffmc

Of course, I finally had to pay a visit to the Cavern Club! Though not the original (which was closed in 1973), this rebuilt one is mere feet away from the original, and built using many of the original bricks. #beatles #ffmc

Also on Mathew Street is the wonderful Liverpool Beatles Museum. Tons of original Beatle-y artifacts inside. Highly recommended stop if you are in Liverpool! #beatles #ffmc

My first walk down Mathew Street was an amazing feeling! The Beatles would have been all over this street. First of all, The Cavern Club is located here. But there are several other "Beatle-y" spots on this street and nearby. It was a very popular area, especially at night. #beatles #ffmc

While in Liverpool, I stayed at the Hard Day's Night Hotel. It's a great hotel with Beatles stuff everywhere (and Beatles music playing 24/7). I stayed in a Patti and George room. And it's literally right next to Mathew Street, where the Cavern Club is located. ✌️ #beatles #ffmc

Right across the street from St. Peter's Church is the rec room where Paul McCartney first met John Lennon. I was fortunate enough to be able to get in to see it. The photo of my feet is the estimated exact spot where they met (toward the back on the left), as shown in the picture. #beatles #ffmc

Behind St. Peter's Church is the likely location of where the Quarrymen played the day John met Paul (with the lovely David Bedford pointing out the spot). The cemetery has greatly expanded, but it's most definitely where it took place. #beatles #ffmc

First up, Liverpool! What a wonderful city. I started my Beatles journey at St. Peter's Church, immediately setting out to find Eleanor Rigby's grave. #beatles #ffmc

Now that the Anthology has concluded, I'd like to spend the next several posts reflecting on the 2-week Fab Four Master Class trip I went on this past summer (Liverpool, Hamburg, and London). I saw so much, and met so many wonderful people! #beatles #ffmc

Finished watching the remade Beatles Anthology! Episode 9 really was a nice addition. There are so many changes (moving things around, additions, removals). It was a small part of the original, but it's interesting they removed the Apple Boutique section.

Beatles Anthology episodes 4-6 watched! I’m becoming more aware of how different it is from the original 90’s version. There are many more changes than I first thought! The original and new anthologies are really two different things, in my opinion.

Happy Beatles Anthology Release Day! Initial thoughts: looks really great, definitely some changes in places (some things removed, some things shortened, some things added), sounds great, and subtitles are vastly improved from the original. It’s definitely more than just a visual improvement.

A welcome addition to any Christmas tree. 🙂 #yellowSubmarine #beatles
