Fifty five years ago on February 9, 1964, the British Invasion began with the Beatles playing live on the Ed Sullivan Show in front of an estimated 73 million Americans. To many of us "baby boomers", coming of age in the '60's, it is kind of like President Kennedy's assassination or the first Lunar Landing in that we can remember where we were and what we were doing. I was at Lowry AFB in an old WWII, 2 story, coal-fired barracks awaiting training. It was a cold winter night with a bunch of new airman huddled around a small black and white tv. The music changed then, as did I.
