My BEATLES History!

Hi gang! Today would have been George Harrison's 67th birthday (as a sidenote, my father shared this birthday with the "quiet" Beatle, but he was a year older). In memory of the occasion, I thought I would share some of my Beatles-related videos in this blog, as well as telling all of you a little bit about my history with the band's music. According to Mark Lewisohn's "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" book, I was born on the same day the Beatles recorded "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."

Stephen Hawes

Frankly, I am not one to get overly personal on the internet. I share details about my business and about my love of comics and art, and my mostly silly public access tv show.

I think if you had you would have agreed that he was a wonderful person. His name was Stephen.
