We realized that we are a participant in the great unfolding of this pandemic. And it is our duty to look around and document our observations with mostly unedited video and with daily thoughts on life.
This is merely a gift from a humorous long time married couple and Jack Russell Terrier dog living in a marina on the San Diego Bay to you. This is to give you awareness, a sense of the Covid-19 Pandemic from our eyes in Southern California.
For the first time in our life we are part of something we all (worldwide) are part of and our decisions are unique as everyone else.
We ask questions and like to probe into the reality of the moment. We are going to show you what is going on in our life and what is around. Chris & Marty, The 2Morrows.

Twenty per cent of anything you have to say about Pete Best has to be genuine sympathy, because he was in the Beatles when they made it in Hamburg and when Brian picked them up. Had he been a slightly better drummer, who knows what may have been. However, he never got over being ditched, and whined about for years. John actually said in interview he was a terrible drummer and the plan had always been to get rid of him. Pete has never accepted the basic in-your-face truth of the matter. He didn't go on to become anyone's chosen drummer and didn't even become a jobbing drummer for anyone. Anthology arguably got him 7-figures and that's a good thing. But had he been intelligent enough to think about it when The Beatles hit big, his best option was always to gracefully admit Ringo was just the better drummer and that he held no ill will. That alone would have probably got him a lot more interviews and appearances. But all he did was complain, as though Ringo got the job under false pretences. Pet Best's biggest problem was, he couldn't keep a beat and always played a song differently each time. Watch him play drums - there's no real timing 'pattern' and the fills are random and in the wrong place relevant to the lyric when a verse repeats. Pete got his place in the group because they got free coffees at the Casbah, had somewhere to rehearse, and because they had to have a drum kit to work in Hamburg. He never made it as a great drummer, because he was never a great drummer.
Brian actually made him a business offer too and he refused. I never heard anyone ask him about that because NEMS (Brian's company) ended up with a whole bunch of stars. That might have been his biggest mistake.
@@2Morrows not in my neck of Az. now, but have dealt with them. Them and coons scrounge around for pet food and will enter house through pet doors if not latched at night. Ugly damn rats.
Mexico is a large country. Like the US, one city doesn’t define it. I lived there for years and visit Cozumel, Guadalajara and the West coast. I traveled 12 states. Be careful generalizations.
Thanks for the upload 2moros. Interesting on the spot type interview. I used to love listening to the early Beatles with Pete. I liked his fast type tempo 'atom bomb' style bass drum, listening to them while in school and emulating Pete's beats on the drums in my barner shed in the back garden and listening to a walkman in the late 1990's. The Sheik Of Araby and Like Dreamers Do are my all time favourites ' not arf!' Also picked up a nice picture 12" record in Dublin once and still play it. Nice tunes like Memphis Tennessee, Sure To Fall(In Love With You), Three Cool Cats, Take Good Care Of My Baby, Love Of The Loved. The songs are really great versions, you could tell they had their own style. Thanks Pete for your inspiring style and I'm glad you got royalties! Have some books also from Pete Best and Roag Best. Just missed your talk from the early days in Lost Lane venue!!
Pete Best was definitely as much of a 'Beatle' as Lennon, McCartney & Harrison and his position in / importance to, the band in its formative Hamburg / Cavern Club / regional early 'Beatlemania' days, can never, and should never, be viewed as anything less. The Beatles (with Pete Best on drums ) were the premier / extremely popular Rock 'n Roll band in Liverpool / Hamburg ( Clubs and recordings w/Tony Sheridan as "The Beat Brothers" ) long before Pete was replaced and they ( with Ringo Starr on drums ) were introduced outside of Europe to the world on the Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9th, 1964. Pete Best, along with Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, is one of the original "Fab Four" and his rightful place, recognition, and contribution to that historical band cannot be dismissed or minimized.
No he was not. He didn't participate in the song writing, he could hardly play drums, and he had a LOT of luck being a kind of a "leecher" - Not improving, not coming with anything constructive. And the fact that he - on top of that - was very popular with the girls was of course too annoying to the ambitious, hard working other three. Pete was a lazy, amateurish drummer who just HAD to go. Ringo was light years better. No, Pete Best was certainly not "as much of a Beatle as Lennon, McCartney and Harrison." Those three guys were making MUSIC - Pete wasn't.
he does not hold a grudge against the other three even after the disgraceful way they got rid of him what a nice man i am glad he came back to the music scene after years of obscurity .he was once a beatle something that can never be taken away from him
