Day off in Miami

The day after their second Ed Sullivan Show appearance, The Beatles enjoyed a well-earned day off in Miami, in which they tried water-skiing.

During their time in Miami they encountered another band, the BG Ramblers, from the Toledo Ohio area.

  1. A guitar player from the Toledo Ohio area was lucky enough to get a photo taken with the Beatles during this Florida layover.

    Billy Price, of the BG Ramblers, was a guitarist from Toledo and this picture was on the wall in Durdel’s Music Store, where I bought my Gretsch guitar.

    1. Hi Kay, Do you have Bill’s contact info? I’m a musician, teach at Berklee College, and would love to ask him if he still owns his Telecasters from back then.
      Thanks,

      Kevin
