UNITED KINGDOM: Liverpool – Birthplace Of The Beatles

I just had to make a pit stop in Liverpool to see where the Mersey Beat sparked a creative explosion that was felt all around the world. This was ground zero for the classic rock that was spawned out of the ’60s. Before I hopped on the Beatle Bus I strolled around the city.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

PENNY LANE

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout, a pretty nurse is serving poppies from a tray, and though she feels as if she’s in a play, she is anyway. (roundabout in song)

Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer, (barbershop in song)

We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim (the bank referenced in the song)

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see, it’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn’t matter much to me. Let me take you down ’cause I’m going to…

The house where John lived with his aunt Mimi until he hit it big with the Beatles in 1963.

The house was donated to the National Trust by Yoko Ono and is now a protected property.

The street where the McCartneys lived at the time when Paul met John Lennon.

THE McCARTNEY HOUSE – This property is also protected by the National Trust.

That’s All Folks – That’s One More Item Off The Bucket List
