The Daughters of Eve on playing for The Beatles

(For those who don't know, The Daughters of Eve were one of the first all-girl rock bands, formed in the 1960's in Chicago, and had a song you might have heard that recently went viral called 'Hey Lover'!)

Here are some outtakes from my (soon to be published) article of my interviews with The Daughters of Eve:

Andrea: You know, my parents were very interesting. They were always very aware of what was going on in the world. They were very political, very sports-minded, very into music and entertainment and so if there was a new Broadway musical that came to Chicago, they always got tickets for the family and we got to see it, or when Elvis Presley was on the rise, I was in kindergarten but my parents got us all tickets to see Elvis Presley. I think I fell asleep in the midst of the concert because I was 5 years old when we went. My parents were always into-- if a famous politician came to town, we went to the rally. Queen Elizabeth passed through Chicago in 1958 or ’59, some point in there, and sure enough we were out in front of Buckingham fountain watching her motorcade pass by. We were always involved in what was current and happening in the city. And so, when the Beatles came to town, my parents got us tickets and so we went, my parents got tickets for Debi, myself and my best friend Sue. My dad took us to the concert and he said ‘Hey, why don’t you girls throw your guitars in the trunk’ and so we did. And while we were in watching the Beatles, my dad was outside of the venue, the amphitheater I think it was, talking to all the staff and somehow found out which hotel the Beatles were in. So, when we exited the concert, we all got in the car and my dad said ‘lets go to the hotel where the Beatles are and you girls can just take out your guitars and just start singing the Beatles songs’. And so sure enough we did, and at some point  The Beatles all looked out their hotel window— which it wasn’t a big high rise, they were probably up probably, in my memory, maybe the fourth floor. I do remember they all looked out the window and waved to us. And what a thrill!

Debi:  It was just an acoustic thing with the three of us singing. We sang their song, we serenaded them after the concert. But after they looked out the window... it was so weird. It was Andee, me, and my friend Sue. My brother and I used to have ‘hootenannies’ at our house on the weekends and we would play there, my brothers band would play in our basement in Chicago in our house. We started so kids would have places to go and parents knew where they’d be so they agreed to it. We served coffee and sodas and popcorn and it was fun. It was one summer we did that and then Suzy, Andee and I had a little singing group. The three of us would do all the Beatles songs and we would harmonize like the Beatles so when we went to the concert, one of the last concerts that they played in Chicago, we went to their hotel. I guess her parents drove us there. Then we got out and serenaded them. This is way before DOE. I think Andee was all of 12. We were really really young, we were just learning about life. Bob Dylan was coming around, a year later Joan Baez and Buffy Saint Marie. People like that, the folk music scene was very popular back in those days. And Newport jazz festival. It was a different time, it was fun. There was no computers, nothing like that, you had to make your own fun and something really cool came out of it.
