    Stuart Sutcliffe left the band to pursue his career as a painter, having previously attended the Liverpool College of Art. Sutcliffe and John Lennon are credited with inventing the name "Beetles" (sic), as they both liked Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets. They also had a fascination of group names with double meanings (as Crickets, for example, the word referring to both an insect as well as a sport), so Lennon then came up with "The Beatles", from the word beat (though Lennon's original spelling was "Beatals"

    Hi Allen,
    Just wanted to let you know coins are left at a grave as a symbol of remembrance and respect however they usually are felt on top of the grave but it still amazing that Beatle fan are still stopping by to show there respect to Stuart.

    I was there this past July and I left original sheet music of Elvis’s Love Me Tender there for him because he loved to sing that song in Hamburg. Was an honor to visit his grave. I’m from Chicago.

    It would be easy to miss the separate graveyard across the road & head straight for the chuch! Not only have I seen the gravestone but you've just brought back memories! I left school in the early eighties & straight on to a Y.O.P. scheme..which was actually based on the church grounds there...& we used to tidy up that cemetery/gravestones with strimmers etc. One thing I remember about the church grounds instead...was a hollowed out human shape in an empty coffin shaped raised stone?
    Anyway!...Tnx for the memories & bringing it all back to me...& making me feel where did life go lol.

    Life isn’t fair. If only, he was taken to a hospital when he got hit from the fight where he fell head down first, and had taken X-ray then, he would not have died this young. He had refused to take the X-ray and had a skull fracture in Jan 1961 according to a report. His friend had a broken finger? Lennon. His parents should have pushed him to see a doctor. I feel bad for his family who lost a young child. RIP - gone too soon.

    Nice video. I like learning about people's lives, shame he died so young. When I was a kid I thought they must like insects to call their band the beetles, took me some years to spot the difference in how it was spelt Hehehe.
    Strange that thing with the pennies

    • @MotorHomeBeepBeep
      @MotorHomeBeepBeep  Před 2 lety +2

      Hi Abe I guess you've got to remember that when he died they weren't famous. They were just a jobbing band in Hamburg but he had the seedlings because he was in the music world and getting noticed in the art world. You get the feeling he could have been big time. And great minds think alike. I thought of The Beatles most of my life as the insects completely missing the spelling, but then again I am dyslexic to some degree I think. Thank you for the lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed it. Never personally seen the pennies before .... Best Alan

      @@MotorHomeBeepBeep When you visit cemeteries always keep an eye out, not only for the grave you are looking for but those with floral tributes, not those recently passed but those attended regularly. See if there are any other tokens. I’ve seen all sorts over the years. In my local cemetery lies an ex pub landlady I knew for many years. There’s always a collection of Smirnoff miniatures amongst the flowers. 😊

The problem is that sometimes you're just so focused on getting the film done and finding the target of your mission. But yes I'll try and keep an open eye. I did that with Stuart Sutcliffe and never went there to see him.
