This Day In Music 1967

The Beatles spent a second day at Knole Park, Sevenoaks, Kent, England to complete filming for the 'Strawberry Fields Forever' promotional video. The film was shot in colour, for the benefit of the US market, since UK television was still broadcasting only in black and white. Taking time out from filming John Lennon bought a 1843 poster from an antiques shop in Surrey which provided him with most the lyrics for The Beatles song 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite'.

Nobody in my basic training platoon at Fort Benning, GA, was a volunteer. Most of us were 19 to 20 years old, but the oldest was 27. Several of the guys were married, and several of those had children. There were also quite a few Puerto Ricans who could speak very little English. I was more sorry for them than for myself. (And I was plenty sorry for myself...that part of Georgia is hotter than the hinges of hell in the summertime.)
