2. THEIR LIFES

8. Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army Children's Home. Strawberry Field was a short walk from John's home and offered a magical, thickly-wooded world of escape that obviously remained a special place in his heart. "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" were released together as a single in 1967, presenting a touching tribute to the Beatles' Liverpool roots.

14. THEIR BEGINNINGS John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957, when Paul went to hear John's band, The Quarrymen, play at a village festival at St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton, a Liverpool "suburb" that is really a small, peaceful village.

15. The Quarrymen played often in the St. Peter's church hall, which is still used for youth clubs and activities. On the July 6, 1957, the band played first in the field behind the church, where Paul first heard John, then later in the church hall, where Paul introduced himself, played some guitar and made enough of an impression to be asked to join the band a short time later.

16. Paul was once a choirboy at St. Barnabas Church, which faces the roundabout, and the Quarrymen played several times at the St. Barnabas Church Hall.

Then, Pete Bestjoinedfor a short time, but his talent as a drummer was not up to the group’s expectation and he was replaced with Richard Starkey “Ringo Starr” who was also from the Liverpool area. Ringo was an outgoing drummer who had performed with a band called Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
