  • “ALL THINGS MUST PASS,” 50th Anniversary

    I was reading the local paper, Richmond Times Dispatch, yesterday, August 29, 2021, and much to my surprise there there was a 1/2 page article commemorating the 50th anniversary since the release of this album, (actual anniversary was November 2020) His son Dhani has remastered the album, including a lot of extras; acoustic renditions not…

  • “Summer of Soul”

    I just found out, amongst many others, watching CBS Sunday Morning, that there was another important concert, besides Woodstock, held in 1969. It is a film about a concert series, the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, (aka, “Black Woodstock”). I also found articles in People Magazine, dated 7/12/21, and USA Today Newspaper, dated 7/2/21.

  • MRI Music

    Today during my MRI they played YouTube radio, classic rock. The first song was Rod Stewart, “Maggie May,” (I did not name my dog after this song, her name was Maggie Mae, (from what else, a Beatles song). Anyway I love this song, it brings me back to middle school, no specific memory. I am…

  • The Beatles Scrapbook II

    I couldn’t wait to see the lady that lent me the scrapbook, to discuss the contents and find out exactly whose scrapbook it belonged to. I worked with her last week and the first question I asked was who’s scrapbook was it? Well I was quite surprised when she said it was hers! So much…

  • Beatles – Scrapbook

    A lady I volunteer with in the gift shop was telling me of having to go through a relatives estate and having found a scrapbook on The Beatles. She then said that I was probably too young. Well you know that ain’t right. I proceeded to tell her about my love, (obsession) with The Beatles…

  • “Maggie’s Song”

    The other day my sister-in-law sent me the lyrics to this song by Chris Stapleton. After reading and listening to the song I was in tears. Not only did he describe my Maggie, but the picture of his dog, looked just like my Maggie and his Maggie is from Tennessee and so was mine. Chris’s…

  • iPods, CD’s, Cassettes, 8-tracks, albums and 45’s

    My first record was a 45, “Hello Goodbye” on one side and “I am the Walrus” by the Beatles on side 2. My first album, (33 1/3) was “Sgt. Pepper”. No surprise there. During my high school years I never bought any albums except by The Beatles and never played any record in my room…

  • “Living in the Material World”

    I was listening to the Beatles channel on Sirius XM and they were doing a segment called Dark Horse, which showcases George. The above song came on and I remembered how much I loved this album. Probably the most played album I had, (besides Sgt. Pepper) during my high school years. We all know that…

  • John Lennon 1940 – 1980

    It was 40 years ago today that John Lennon was murdered. I can clearly remember the events of that day. I was 22 years old, married, with a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son, living in a one bedroom apartment in New York, (Westchester County) I woke up to the phone…
