All right, what terminally cute pic of the Beatles can I post next? How about Mal and the lads out for a stroll?
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
John and paul share a moment, I just can't get over it! they are so sweet. I think paul is sick but i'm not sure and john is like "are you okay" teehee.
"We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." - Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962
Right, on Anthology George, Paul, and Ringo did not remember jamming with Elvis. BUT if you look on the Elvis website, they've got a detailed story about the guys jamming with Elvis there! So what is the truth?
We know Paul didn't feel like he could play because Elvis was already on bass. Ringo in his own words played football. George was out back smoking a joint (a story confirmed in one of those books-- "Here Comes the Sun", I think. He only stayed 20 minutes and then left.) So, where was John? He could have been jamming with Elvis, since the Elvis site mentions it. But it's strange that none of the others remembers this.
You would think that as it was Elvis that one of them would have had a camera? Mal Evans always seemed to carry one. Maybe he wasn't there? So maybe they didn't jam. It's always sounded like they were pretty bored.

I have been looking into this. Apparently Col Parker didn't want any photos taken (though I don't know if he was there.) One person from Elvis's camp claims to have been in the room and witnessed the alledged jam. Another said he was outside and heard it! I shall dig deeper and attempt to reconstruct that momentous occassion.
One more question. All of us know George visited India (or East Pakistan, mean Bangla Desh that wasn't independent then) in Sep-Oct 1966. One source (now closed) told George seriously changed his style, haircut and so on during this month... Now has anybody some photos of George during this period, when he learned how to play sitar better?
