After a nice week-long vacation recently, I'm back with more. Got together with Pete Best (original Beatles drummer, pre-Ringo) and Klaus Voormann (musician/artist friend of the Beatles since 1960, played with them as solo artists, drew the iconic "Revolver" cover for them in 1966, and whose friend Astrid gave the guys the now famous "Beatle" hairdo) during my vacation. Being a big Beatles fan, I always enjoy spending some time with them and hearing their stories and rememberances. Ironic that Pete ended up working at Liverpool's unemployment office for nearly 20 years after being booted from the band. He finally saw some real money from his involvement in the early Beatles when the Anthology series of CD's and DVD's were released a few years ago. Klaus also made out well, since the band asked him to reprise his cover role and provide the art work for the releases.
