‘Hey Dave’: Dave (72) leaves his wife behind and moves away for a year to get a master’s degree in the Beatles

Too old to study? No, Dave van der Velden (72) quietly started his second master’s degree last year and now he can call himself ‘The Beatles professor’. His degree? He hopes to get that from ‘sir’ Paul McCartney himself. The master’s degree and admission were anything but easy. “Before you even have a chance of getting a spot, you are put through the wringer.”
