Visit to Greece I found this very intriguing article in a magazine called Odyssey and the feature is written by Jonathan Wingate The photos show Ringo Starrr and Paul Mccartney in Greece in 1967 who visted Greece several times watching locals folk dances at Itea a seaside village on the coast below Delphi According the press reports the trip in July 1967 included a cruise of the Northern Sporades and a visity to Arahova a mountain village near Delphi where a short rest on a rooftop terrace turned into an impromptu celebration Paul quotes In the song Girl that John wrote there s a Zorba like thing at the end that I wrote which came from that holiday I was impressed with another culture s approach because it was slightly different from what we did We jsut did it on acoustic guitars instead of bouzoukis Ringo and I particularly used to be able to get off to Greece because it was far enough away for nobody to know who we were And I remember hanging around with the hotel cabaret band and watching them rehearse trying to persuade them that we were in quite a decent group back in England You know yeahh me and the other guy who s at the swimming pool we re in this band called The Beatles Preceding unsigned comment added by
