My mother also has a very cool story to her name. She went to an event where bands played all day until the evening when the Beatles were due to play. She was a singer in one of the bands but finished in time to get front row for the main act. This was in the early days of the Beatles when she was in her early 20's. Anyway she got spoted by Paul dancing in the front row and they asked her to go back stage half way through the act while they had a 15min break. She said she was talking to them all when Paul asked her to dance the second half of the set on top of his piano while they were playing, so she did! She said it wasnt too much of a big thing at the time because they were not really that famous at the time. She was then asked to go out with them after the show but didnt because she said George was the only really chatty one and the others were a bit quiet, especially John. My mother isnt one to get star struck at all and I reckon I think this story is way cooler than she does. My mother is deffinatly different.

Well my mother is a singer and used to play the piano, my father plays guitar very well (they actually used to be a folk duo who toured around the north of england in the 60's), my grandfather used to play the acordian, my other grandfather used to play mandolin and the banjo as did one of my uncles and one of my other uncles used to play bagpipes in one of the Buckingham Palace guards bands. But amazingly, I was never really brought up around any of this musical talent in my family until the last year of so when my dad played some guitar for an hour or so. Still though, I thought I would be letting the side down if I didnt play. Family does rub off on you.
