AmericaJR’s Jason and Gloria Rzucidlo recently visited the Henry Ford Museum to check out their exhibit “The Magical History Tour: A Beatles Memorabilia Exhibition.” It began with black and white photos of Liverpool, England. The exhibit continues with the drum set from the Cavern Club, several 45 rpm records, original hand-written letters by the band, the outfits the band wore on stage and photos from their concerts. There are four listening stations–each with an old radio and headsets. One is American Rockability, Radio Luxembourg, British Radio and Elvis Presley. Each member of the legendary British rock group were described individually throughout the exhibit: John, Paul, George and Ringo.
