New to the Villages
Hi,
My name is Jim. I'm originally from Boston, but have traveled around a bit. I moved here from the Philippines where I lived for the past year and met my wife. In my former life I was a PGA golf professional and am still a member of the PGA of America, but have not worked in a few years due to an accident that I had in 2008. My real passion is music and I played rhythm guitar and sang the John Lennon parts in a Beatles tribute band for several years. I am interested in starting a Beatles club in The Villages. I am looking for people who play an instrument and/or sing. I'd also like to have people who just want to listen and join in discussion about Beatles lore and trivia. If anyone is interested, send me an e-mail at winstonoboogiejr@yahoo.com. I would also like to work a little bit in the golf business. My ideal situation would be to give one or two lessons a day four or five days a week. I don't know how I'm going to set that up yet but if you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks, Jim |

Last January at the Savannah Center a Beatles tribute band performed four sold out shows, I was at the first one and they were great. They made 3 or 4 costume changes and did the early and later material. They were called "The Nowhere Band", they'll probably come back next winter.

I've seen may of the really good tributes and if they come back, I'll be sure to see them.

Salamat po.
Are you a Filipino? My wife would love to meet some of her fellow countrymen.

Greetings Jim,
Welcome to TOTV. I'm not there yet but I do play piano and Hammond B3 organ with a couple of Leslies. Also a little bass guitar. Those are featured on a few Beatles songs but not most as you probably well know. There are a few others on here who are musicians and we have discussed putting a band together when we all arrive. We do have a good band booster in Tom H.

Hi Jim. Just sent you an e-mail. Like my good friend CaptJohn (who I expect to actually meet someday!) I'm one of those people who are interested in getting a band together and playing. Moving to the Village of St. Charles on July 5.
