Did YOU Watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show?

On February 9, 1964 my wife Mary Ann washed her hair late so she wouldn’t have to go to church. The reason? To stay home and watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show along with 73 million other people.

She still has these photos that she took that night. There are 30 photos and the cost to process them was $1.03! Can you even believe that? The photos have held up really well too. Enjoy!
