Well, I realised that if I'd say I'd be there for The Beatles, I'd be kicked out immediately and not in a friendly way.
But it was great meeting them.
I had met Brian Epstein years earlier when he was in Amsterdam accompanying Cilla Black at the Grand Gala Du Disque. Must have been 1965 or 1966.
I was carrying my camera and took several pictures of her but every time the flashbulb did not work. Then I met another artist, took a picture without a problem, saw Cilla again, who again posed and again the flashbulb did not work, this happened 3 or 4 times so I gave up taking her picture.
Years later one of our national TV stars copied her show and went to meet her to sign contracts. He told an interviewer that it was very weird because every time someone tried to take a photo of her, the flashbulb did not work.
Met, talked with and photographed many artists. My avatar is me with Dutch singer Willeke Alberti last month, after she signed my copy of her book. I also have a photo of her and me 51 years ago.
Most proud I am of my picture with Lynn Anderson and one with Sue moreno, which I took myself by self-exposer during a photoshot I did of her at my home. And I can guarantee you every man turns his head when she passes by! You can see her on
www.suemoreno.com where you also can order her (signed if you wish) CD's.
