Even In The Movies....

If there is one thing we all had in common during our years together at Father Ryan, it was our music.

When we began our classes as freshmen in the fall of 1965, the British Invasion was still going strong. And nobody was bigger than The Beatles.

In fact, while the big movies that year included The Sound of Music (it won the Best Picture Oscar), The Agony & The Ecstasy and Dr. Zhivago, what we all made sure we went to see, I suspect, was the latest flick by the Fab Four....HELP!



During our four years at Father Ryan, musical tastes changed quite a bit from the pop-rock British Invasion to the psychedelic sounds that dominated the radio air waves by the end of the decade. But throughout it all, The Beatles remains primarily because their music seemed to change as pop culture changed.

What are your memories of popular music while we were in school? What groups or songs were your favorite? Let me know by e-mail (pat.nolan@dvl.com) or leave me a message below and I will see what I find out of the Internet and bring it to you here on the blog.
