Fantastic Field Trip to Liverpool

On June 28-29, we were taken by coach (our mad driver Terry, a former jockey with golden earrings), to learn all about the Beatles in Liverpool, and we got much more than our money's worth. Some even got the once in a lifetime experience of performing onstage at the famous Cavern Club, where the Beatles got their start. Here's a selection of photos from the trip.

Enjoying live Beatles music at the Cavern Club: l-r Mathea Harbaugh, Dennis Halpin, Anna White, Hannah Kutcher, Kim Krekeler, Nina Adams, and Christine Jagger.




And THEN! Kimberlyn Angelo, right, was invited up to play guitar with Two of Us, a Beatles tribute duo. See the video in a separate post.




Dennis, Katie H., Susan, Karly, Anna, Kimberlyn, Kim, and me at Paul McCartney's teenage home. We were given an excellent tour inside Paul and John's homes.
