Happy Birthday John Lennon - Oct. 9th

[KurtNYC]

You're invited to join with other Beatles and Lennon fans in celebration of John Lennon's birthday this Sunday at Strawberry Fields. People will gather and sing at the Imagine Circle (near West 72nd and Central Park West -- C or B train to 72nd)) from about Noon until well into the evening. Rain or shine. In past years, the better musicians have been there early (during the afternoon). My guess is that some of them are Broadway musician who work in the evening.



Bio: John's parents, Julia Stanley and Alfred Lennon were married in Liverpool on December 3, 1938.

Their only child together - John Winston Lennon - was born on October 9, 1940 in Oxford Street Maternity Hospital during a lull in the WWII bombing of Liverpool, England. John's father, Alfred, was away at sea and was not there for the birth. Alfred would play an almost non-existent part in John's life. It seemed that no one could have been happier about the arrival of this new baby than Julia's sister, Mary Smith and it was Mary who chose John's name.

John's mother was a free spirit who obviously felt the burden of raising a son was too much for her. She suggested that her sister, Mary and her husband, George, raise John instead. The Smiths had no children of their own, and happily accepted the challenge of raising John....
