Many years ago, when I was still married, my ex would start every Sunday morning by listening to a 2 hour FM radio broadcast called Breakfast With the Beatles. We both loved the Beatles so that Sunday start was fine by me. As we had kids, the kids came to enjoy the music too.
Many, many years later, while at my daughter’s house on a Sunday morning, I noticed that she had the Beatles playing on Alexa — not just one song but song after song. I smiled and asked if she remembered that her father used to play the Beatles on Sunday mornings. “Yes! That’s why I play the Beatles every Sunday morning!”
It was good to know that it was a fond memory from her childhood that she was hanging on to and carrying on. I’ve looked for a radio show like that but haven’t found it. We don’t live in southern California anymore and I don’t know if it was a local broadcast. I just can’t find anything like that with Beatles music. So I’ve created my own Breakfast With the Beatles playlist. It’s playing now. I’m glad that modern technology let’s us do that easily.
Gotta go listen to the song that’s playing right now, with a little help from my friends. I’ll get by.
No better way to start the day than breakfast with the Beatles… It most likely was local and I never heard of it, but it does sound like a great show.

so nice to pass such a lovely tradition down! Or what became a tradition! Yes, making our own playlists is a great thing 🙂

I listened to Breakfast with the Beatles in Chicago on Sundays in the 80s!
Nice story, great feeling when our kids listen to our music by choice
