J Lennon page 8 by ric gustafson
One day, while the group was playing a gig at the Cavern, George Harrison began to talk to a 27 year old store manager. His name was Brian Epstein. He worked at NEMS. Epstein asked how much they were making at the Cavern. After being told how much, he told the band he could make them a lot more.
Brian stared at John. " So the band is only making 75p each per night".
" Yes". John's voice hesitated. " It is above the normal rate at the Cavern".
" I can give you a lot more than that". He smiled. " Let's meet December 3rd".
At the meeting, Epstein began to talk percentages. " Ten, fifteen or twenty?".
John stared at Brian. " We have recorded original compositions with Tony Sheridan".
Brian looked at John. " You write your own music?".
Paul smiled. " We have already recorded three original songs".
" Fellas". Brian smiled. " You are going to be bigger than Elvis".
That's all John needed to hear.
" Brian". John grinned. " Manage us".
