Neighbors often say their house is more like a Beatles museum.
They’re Charles and Sherry Heard, and they’re serious Beatles fans.
“They transcend our time,” Sherry says.
Our neighbors are not brokers or sellers; they’re collectors. But they are taking two Beatles-related pieces to Heritage Auctions this week. One is a Bible that George Harrison gave to the band’s manager, Brian Epstein, as a joke gift in 1964. He kept it until he died in 1967.
The Heards aren’t sure how much it will fetch, but they hope the Bible stays in Dallas. It was one of a few given to the band by members of First Baptist Church Dallas.
The second piece is a Grammy awarded to Danny Laine in 1974 for “Best Pop Performance” for the song “Band on the Run.” Paul and Linda McCartney were the other two recipients of the award.
