When I was six..I lived in New Orleans and I was crazy, nuts about the band that had invaded America...the Beatles! I remembering asking my parents.. if they would buy me Beatle boots and a Beatle wig..lol I got the boots but no wig. I remember sitting in the Tulane student apartment building, behind the old sugar bowl stadium..I believe it was on a Sunday night..watching the Ed Sullivan show with my Mom and Dad..and seeing the Beatles perform.... that moment changed my life forever. I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up...play music in a band ..and be just like the Beatles. The Beatles came to New Orleans and although I did not officially attend the concert.. we drove by.. out side , where they were playing.. in the park..as I remember...you could hear the screams and every now and then..some music but mostly screaming... it was magic to me.. I do believe..to this day.. that they changed the culture in so many ways ..in ways we couldn't imagine at the time and redefined our pop melodic sense..
God did make my dreams come true and allowed me to share the talent he gave me.. with so many people over the years and I thank God for that... The Beatles were the band..that opened the door for me_ Stan Munsey

Jim, just wondering if we're gonna get a 2008 MLB preview? How do you think the Yankees will do now Torre's gone?
Jim Colyer writes:
David, thanks for asking! Joe Torre is a great baseball man and will be missed, but new manager Joe Girardi is a good choice for his successor. Girardi was a member of the great team of the late 1990s. He knows what it means to win as a Yankee and, like Torre, was a catcher who knows how to handle pitchers. And pitching is the key to this club with young phenoms Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain. I was afraid they were going to sacrifice Phil Hughes for Santana. That would have been a mistake. The Yankees have their ace in Chien-Ming Wang, a 19-game-winner the last two years. Veterans Andy Pettitte and Mike Mussina round out the rotation with 451 regular season victories between them. Pettitte is a "true Yankee."
The infield is solid. A-Rod is looking forward to another great year at third, and I am impressed by the hard play of Shelley Duncan in spring training. Hopefully, he will get his chance at first base.
There is some concern about an aging outfield. Johnny Damon has had second thoughts. Matsui and Abreu continue to be strong RBI men. We shall see how much they have left.
2008 is the last year for the old Stadium. There will be memories and emotions. The All-Star Game will be played in the Bronx. Girardi is wearing number 27 on his jersey, leaving no doubt as to his mission, to lead the New York Yankees to their 27th World Championship.
