Imitating Abbey Road Cover

The most recognizable album cover in history, the photo of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road, taken in the summer of sixty nine, fifteen minutes before noon on August eight to be précised. An iconic album cover for the image resonated with the fans. There are wall posters of this photo and it seems men, my age, in music industry have one in their living rooms or studios. The photograph of the most influential band in the world walking on a zebra crossing became one of the most imitated of all time. I am one of those who imitated it five months ago, 19 of October at eleven fifty in the morning, when we had photos taken crossing Abbey Road, amidst a busy road in northwest London in St. John’s Wood in the city of Westminster, outside Abbey Road Studios, formerly EMI. We crossed Abbey Road in single file with me leading, followed by my daughter and my granddaughter with our fourth person, my grandson taking the pictures so he was not included, kind of disappointing. How I wish we were there on October 9, John Lennon and my birthday.

Thanks for the visit, Gershon! Unfortunately not. It was a rainy week, so I was wearing skinny pants tucked in my knee high boots. It was exciting to see where it happened and fun to imitate ... lol ... have a great day.
