I knew it was Paul McCartney's birthday yesterday. Something I read got me reminiscing...
I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. I loved the Beatles and still love their songs. They were at our local Red Rocks amphitheater that same year too I think. I was looking at all the memorabilia/history of Red Rocks and the ticket prices were ridiculously cheap - like maybe $4. Today you pay more than $30-50+ depending on who's performing. We lived in Denver in those early years and could hear the music from Red Rocks when at our friends house.
I sang the song "Yesterday" alone (McCartneys most recorded song ever), in front of the whole grade school when I was in 6th grade (and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are made for walking" with my white go-go boots and long sweatshirt, along with other gals in our classes' music production for the school). I still have the 45 LP of the song "Yesterday" (besides their albums).
The first song I played when learning to play the guitar was "Puff the Magic Dragon"...

And to think you NEVER played me a SINGLE Beatles song as I grew up!
I didn't do much of the music playing around the house, Monte did most of that. I ended up playing stuff he didn't contribute to your 'education', like opera!
