The Beatles liked beans on toast as well as chips.

I was a music major in college, taking all of the music theory course and dabbling in arranging/composing/songwriting, etc.
I spent a good deal of $$$ on the "Beatles:Complete Scores" book... Although I am not as infatuated with the Beatles as a lot of people, I tell you: I learned more about music, songwriting, and composition from that book than any class I took in college. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning theory/song forms, etc.

John Lennon and son, Julian wet to the set of Happy Days. The day of shooting the 4th episode.

Well I never knew that. Fourth episode? That’s a bit early for Lennon to be a fan of the show? I wonder how this came about?

“The Beatles Rock n Roll Music” is an album that I had/have and did really like. When I was a teen I was a Stones boy, and really only liked the early R’n’R Beatles songs. Theta has really changed around as I have aged. Still love the Stones up to about 73, with some newer stuff popping in. But have became a lover of The Beatles and their story. Even songs from Sgt Pepper and later. :laugh:

(Mind you I have since found ancestors that are Peppers. But they were builders/bricklayers from Hammersmith England, not Sargeant’s. But I’m still claiming it!)

Maybe that's when Lennon was going through a 50s revival phase. A friend in the entertainment world probably told him about the show and set up the visit.
That's my best guess.
