The Big Bopper and Richie Valens too. Sad day.

I would love to find other people who play instruments and are interested in playing and singing the music. But I also want it to be open to people who just want to come and listen and discuss trivia and Beatles lore.

How does one go about advertising something like this. I have to find out if there would be enough interest.
I'm in. I cannot tell you how many Beatle tribute bands I have seen. A couple of trips to Abbey Road on the River will do that to you. Favorite is The Fab Four from LA and I had the pleasure to see and meet Tim Piper. Also there is Abbey Road Live from Atlanta. I can go on!

"My best Beatle tribute bands were "Twist and Shout" "The Tribute 1964." My problem with Tribute is the obvious, Not doing anything from the later years. What tribute is complete without "A Day In The Life?"

Hey Tom,
Glad to hear you're doing better.
Our band used to do a lot of songs off Sgt. Pepper's.

Does anyone know how I can reduce the size of a photo? I tried to upload a pic for my avatar and the upload failed three times. I assume that the photo is too big.
Try Googling 'reduce jpg file size' (w/o quotes) - you'll get a number of results.

Bill :)

Ardy from the Fab Four is a friend of mine as is Don Butler, Tim Piper's guitarist. Both are really top shelf shows.

Yes. "The day the music died" had nothing to do with the Beatles. It was the day of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and others.

I am aware of that. Everyone know of the tragic plane crash in 1959 that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. When I stated the "Day the music died" it was my view of when my music died. I was a John Lennon freak and as far as I'm concerned,,, it was the day my music died.

No offense, Tom, I see your point

Ardy is really right-handed and learned to play the bass left-handed, no? Dedication there. Tim Piper is just the best Lennon show going although I like Ron McNeil as well.
