HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s hoping for a good 2010. There were highs and lows in 2009, with the low being my wife’s illness, and the high being contacted by Prue Bury.
Two syndicated radio shows I listen to are The Beatle Years and Beatle Brunch. Both programs are carried in Boston by WODS-FM, Oldies 103. If you click the link below you’ll find six months of shows available for streaming, and you can even download them. Elvis fans will find something there, too.

A particularly good example is the most recent Beatle Years installment that’s been posted. From November, 14 — “Works in Progress.”

What a treat! I still maintain that the “Matchbox” (pun intended) version of “I’m Looking Through You” is better! Today is Molly’s 14th birthday and she’s getting a modestly priced Fender acoustic guitar. I had a recording device left over from a Wal-Mart gift card and I recorded Paul’s little solo from “That’ll Be the Day,” since technically, he was still 15 when they recorded it in the spring of 1958. Molly loves Paulie, so I’m attaching it to the guitar. She should get a kick out if it, but she’ll immediately feel inferior. I’ll point out to her that he was playing a very cheap electric, but she’ll still feel “not worthy!”
Muchas gracias, Lia! I hope you like the Beatles radio shows.
Happy New year Doug!!! best wishes for you and your family.
Much Love,
Lia
