Plus ca change

January 13/14, 1961

The Beatles play two of their Bekay gigs this Friday and Saturday at the Aintree Institute. 

This gives me the opportunity to show you one of my personal favorite snapshots taken during my pilgrimage to Liverpool in 1998.  It is a picture of this building.  At that time, I think either it was being used as a school building or there was one nearby and classes were being dismissed as we arrived.  There are plenty of kids about.  Take note of the older boys on the steps leading up to the door, grabbing a smoke before heading for the bus home.  Are there any young rockers in the crowd?  Undoubtedly.  (Click the picture, then click it again to enlarge it.)

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.  (The more things change the more they stay the same.)
