Happy Birthday!
and better luck next year with the gifts! 
Well, I am a die hard Beatles fan; they landed in America on my birthday 50 years ago today. Yes, I was only 11 years old but I was already into them BIG TIME since I had seen the film clip on the Jack Paar show a month earlier. I was pumped up to see them on the BIG SHEW Eddie put on every Sunday night.
I have a different appreciation, to be honest, I never liked their sound.
But I like their music, playing their songs on a synth with piano and a mellow pad brings home how extremely talented they were, and Paul still is, as songwriters...and I suppose as performers, if you like their sound.
Indeed all of the bands solo careers brought much better performances from each of them as far as I have enjoyed.
So while I am not particularly interested in them as a band, I am in awe of their talents as song writers and solo performers.
