the Reluctant Beatle page 11 by ric gustafson
Being back in Hamburg at the Top Ten, pleased John, Paul and George. The band now wore similar suits, cowboy boots and pink cheesecutter caps. The three kept their extra long on the side like Elvis. Because the club was vastly improved from the first time they were there, John and Paul brought their girlfriends. Paul brought Dot Rhone and John Cynthia.
It got to a point where Paul could not stand Stu or his playing any longer. When Stu left, instead of replacing him Paul began playing the bass guitar. Stu gave Paul his Hofner bass.
When the band came back from Hamburg, they were a changed group. When they started playing at the Cavern again, they were dressed neck to ankles in black leather. They were the hottest band to play the Cavern. That October of 1961, John and Paul took a trip to Spain. October 28 1961 was a big day for the band. That was the day the band met Brian Epstein.
