Abbey Road…when you hear that name, what comes to mind? A famous group? The name of a road that you visited?
For me, Abbey Road stands for the road where the Beatles had the picture taken!
If you are a serious Beatle fan, then you know that the world famous Beatles tribute festival WAVE 3 News Abbey Road on the River, has been held for the last 12 years in Louisville Kentucky.
