Boy, I've missed you all! I've been experiencing problems with accessing my blog to update. But all bugs seem to be fixed and now I can get back to all the Beatlemania this page can handle!
As of now THE BIG BEAT radio show is on hold due to some construction at 90.1 Mt ROCK, but I will return to the studio as soon as the dust settles. Don't fret if you cannot get 90.1 Mt ROCK on your FM tuner. You'll still be able to listen in on MtRockRadio.com. I'll keep you all updated on the season premiere so you don't miss a beat!
In the meantime, get a load of this! I was perusing YouTube earlier today and came across a fantastic BBC documentary called 12 Hours to Please Me. This film celebrates the iconic 12-hour recording session of The Beatles' hit debut record Please Please Me. If that's not cool enough this film was recorded in Abbey Road Studios on the exact 50th anniversary of the recording of the original album. The film does a fab job recreating the Beatles February 11, 1963 recording schedule down to the hour and minute that each song was originally recorded. Musicians young and young-at-heart came together for this special day to re-record The Beatles' Please Please Me repertoire of songs. Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Mick Hucknall, and I Am Kloot are just a few of the artists featured in this film. Even some of the people present in the studio 50 years ago returned to Abbey Road Studios to re-live the magic they witnessed, including engineer Richard Langham and NME reporter Alan Smith who requested to The Beatles that they close the day by recording "La Bamba".... "LA BAMBA?" Watch and see!
