Beatles the early years page 15 by ric gustafson
When Paul McCartney's family moved to 20 Forthlin Road in Allerton, Paul wanted to write a song. Paul's father Jim had written a song when he was a teenager. Paul now wanted to try also. One day, Paul sat at a piano. He began toying in the key of C. His first song he wrote he named it ' I call it Suicide'. Paul wrote a second song that he left untitled. That second song would become ' When I'm Sixty Four'. The family enjoyed living in Allerton. Also at this time, Paul's mother began to suffer from breast pains.
Richy Starkey tried different jobs. First, he got a job on the tramp steamer St Tudno. Because of the easy access to booze, Richy began to drink. Eventually, one day Richy was sacked on the spot. Then Harry Graves got Richy a job at H Hunt and Son. The factory manufactored children's recreational equipment.
John and Paul fell in love with a song that was becoming popular. It was called ' Be Bop A Lula'. The singer was Gene Vincent. It was the first record bought by Paul McCartney.
