If Stuart Sutcliffe (the original bass player) was the fifth Beatle, then I would probably be considered the 10 to the 1,000th power Beatle...7 times removed.Originally posted by JON View Post
I was the piano player for the Bees Knees, who once opened for Carl Perkins at the Union Bar in North Minneapolis. Carl liked our band, as we were a jump blues band trying to sound like early rock and roll before it was called rock and roll. Carl Perkins wrote Blue Swede Shoes, a song more popularized by Elvis Presley, an artist the Beatles admired and respected. So I guess in a round about way, you could say I am vaguely associated with the Beatles….(not really)…Comment

Maybe Bees can answer the burning question:
Why did the Swedes & Norwegians brave the dangers of the Atlantic Ocean and then migrate halfway across this continent to settle in a place just as cold & dreary as the one they were trying to get away from?"The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectful" - John Kenneth GalbraithComment
