About the Site

Since I've been a massive Beatlemaniac for quite a length of time, the idea came: After thinking about it for a while, I finally felt I should try to make a fansite for the best band ever. Although it's hosted by Tripod and has a regular, rather bland Tripod layout, with no fancy HTML, it's a labor of love for the fact that it's my way of paying tribute to the best band ever - The Beatles.

Also, please do bear in mind that a large amount of this site is meant to be viewed with tongue firmly in cheek! It's not all meant to be serious, although, of course, I do hope you'll find some informative bits here and there which aren't overdone on each and every fansite out there.

I hope that some people out there enjoy this site despite all this. :)

URL origin?

The URL (anothergirl83.tripod.com) gets its name due to my online nickname, which I use in forums, as my e-mail address and as the URL for the main "That Magic Feeling" page. It's from, as you may have guessed, the Beatles song "Another Girl", and fits mainly because, well, I am just another girl.

Where did the name come from?

If you were wondering how this site got its name, here's the answer - it's from a Beatles song (imagine that), "You Never Give Me Your Money". The lyrics are as follows:

You never give me your money,
You only give me your funny paper,
And in the middle of negotiations, I break down.

I never give you my number,
I only give you my situation,
And in the middle of investigation, I break down.

Out of college, money spent,
See no future, pay no rent
All the moneys gone, nowhere to go.

Any jobber got the sack,
Monday morning turning back,
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go.

But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go!
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go,
Nowhere to go!

One sweet dream,
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine.
Soon well be away from here,
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away,
One sweet dream came true today,
Came true today,
Came true today,
Yes it did...

For some reason, when I was thinking of a site title, these were the first words that came to mind. "That magic feeling" is, to me, something that the Beatles had when they were performing and recording together, and it's also the feeling that comes across to fans. The Beatles were magical in many ways, which is how this site got its name.

FAQ's

* Is this an official site?
No. Not at all (it'd be a pretty shabby design for that ;)), it's merely a fan site.

* Do you make any money from it?
No. It is entirely non-profit, I just made/make it because I love the Beatles. :)

* Are you associated with the Beatles?
No. I wish I was, but sadly, no, I'm not. The closest I've gotten was being in the same concert venue as Ringo and Paul.

* Where do all the photos on the site come from?
Well, a lot of them have been scanned in from books and magazines, which I have made every attempt to cite in the "Credits" section, as well as in the "Bibliography" section of 'The Beatles in Hamburg'. Other photos are the products of Google searches. All photos are copyright their respective owners. The only ones that are actually mine in the sense that I took them are the ones of my bedroom, the London and Liverpool photos, and the one concert photo of Ringo.

* Who the heck are you?
In case you want to know about me, have a look at the "I Me Mine" section. I've tried to keep it small and largely Beatles-related, because they're the reason for this site. :)

* Why does the picture featured on the index page keep changing?
Well, I try to change the picture for major Beatle events, like birthdays, anniversaries, and such like, so for example, when George's birthday comes up, you'll be likely to see a photo of him. Unfortunately, my technical and artistic knowledge is a bit limited in the computer graphics area, so I can't offer up any fancy graphics made with PaintShop and the like.

* Help! Just how many pages are on this site?
For this, I've made the "TMF Site Map" which gives an overview of the pages contained in "That Magic Feeling". This Site Map is linked on the main/index page under the Updates section. And there are approximately 76 pages on this site, so far. :)
