Being A Short Diversion On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles

________________________________________________________________________________________________

March, 1961

Once upon a time there were three little boys called John, George and Paul, by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. 

When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of a sudden they grew guitars and fashioned a noise. 

Funnily enough, no one was interested, least of all the three little men. So-o-o-o on discovering a fourth little even littler man called Stuart Sutcliffe running about them they said, quite 'Sonny get a bass guitar and you will be alright' and he did - but he wasn't alright because he couldn't play it. 

So they sat on him with comfort 'til he could play. Still there was no beat, and a kindly old man said, quote 'Thou hast not drums!' 

We had no drums! they coffed. 

So a series of drums came and went and came. 




This Short Diversion continues  here.

John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, 
and  Ringo Starr  (before his handsomectomy,
when his name was Pete Best).
