[Kentucky.com by Beth Musgrave] When 8-year-old Bill Webber first saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show almost 50 years ago, he was not impressed.
The future organist and choirmaster at St. John's Episcopal Church in Versailles told his parents he didn't think the foursome had a future.
"I told my parents their guitars were out of tune, they sang through their noses, and they were off key," Webber remembered Sunday. But as he grew older and continued his studies in classical music, he learned to appreciate the song-writing prowess of one of the most successful musical groups of all time.
"I realized how good they were at writing popular songs," Webber said.
Some of the Beatles' most popular songs were the centerpiece for a special Beatles Eucharist at St. John's on Sunday. Instead of hymns, the special service that raised money for the Woodford Food Pantry used Beatles' songs.
