Hamburg and The Beatles



Last December husband and son flew to Hamburg for a weekend while daughter and I sat bundled up in front of the tv waching old Christmas movies.
Looking at the pictures on son's camera, two things caught my eye: it looks like it was freezing cold in Hamburg and there are a lot of pictures of son POSING with a big smile on his face!
"Why do you always have a big grin on your face when your Dad takes a picture of you?", I ask him.
"He is very funny and always makes great jokes," he replies.
When he sees my face he adds, "don't worry, you are funny, too."
Right.

Here are the pictures of a weekend in Hamburg, which motto was: the Beatles when they just started out...







While in Hamburg, Stu Suttcliffe, a member of the Beatles, fell in love with a girl from Hamburg named Astrid Kirchherr. She was the one who talked him into, what we now know as the famous "Beatles hair cut", and soon the other Beatles followed suit.
Stu decided to stay in Hamburg to further his education in art when the Beatles moved back to England. Unfortunately he died soon after.
