History Highlight:

Today in 1964, the Beatles landed in the United States for the very first time. Fifty years ago today the Fab Four arrived at JFK to a cheering crowd. They were in town to play at The Ed Sullivan Show and unsure if Beatlemania had taken over the US the way it had in Britain. The screaming throngs of sign holding fans that greeted them was telling of their future in the US. So, we'll celebrate the 50th Anniversary with something from Paul, John, George, and Ringo.
