Summer 2009: In London, I didn't find any 'Itchycoo Park' but I went to the Regents Park and saw the beautiful flowers and roses of various colors and to the vast Hyde Park (the Rolling Stones did a free concert in 1971 in memory of Brian Jones)......got off the tube at St. John's Wood station and walked down to Abbey Road and saw the Abbey Road Studios where the Beatles did almost all of their recordings....of course I crossed the zebra crossing with family and friends.....took a cruise on the River Thames from the London Eye side and floated down the river under various bridges and watched the sun go down and I was almost in 'paradise' (remembered 'Waterloo Sunset').....I also took a fast ferry to the Isle of Wight and was impressed with the scenery - the rolling meadows and beautiful beaches and located the Isle of Wight music festival arena (begun in 1968 - '70 of which the 1970's was the most famous where Hendrix, Doors and the Who played to an audience far larger than the Woodstck 1969. Dylan played at the '69 Wight festival).....a 'magical' time was had by all....
