Remember what made headlines during the last week of December in 1963?  I had the radio on, listening for one of the local DJ's to play "I Want To Hold Your Hand" or "I Saw Her Standing There" by a musical group with a new ( and generation changing ) sound I'd never heard before.  Little did I know that The Beatles would have fans around the world screaming - then fainting - while they performed their musical magic in Liverpool and Hamburg.

What was it like for you?  For me, Beatlemania started in late 1963 when The Ed Sullivan Show broadcast in February 1964.  The Fab Four, along with their new hair styles which my parents never liked, changed my musical tastes and interests.  It felt like I got to know them on a first name basis: John, Paul, George and Ringo.  Not unique names - but definitely a very unique band!  Bella Mia features a few items that will bring back those memories from the early 1960s.  You might be getting older and the hair could be turning  gray(er) - but there is nothing that will make those memories go away!  You're going to look great on the beach this summer with your Beatles T-Shirt.  Just don't wear those dark socks with the sandals!
