Why Don’t We Do It in the Abbey Road?

Well, it seems that Abbey Road Studios aren’t up for sale, after all.

Even if it were, Andrew Lloyd Webber promised over $50 million to buy the place.

Meanwhile, Paul McCartney will be playing Phoenix and Los Angeles next month.


Here’s a bit of Paul at the brand-new Citi Field in New York last summer, before we saw him at ancient Fenway Park in Boston.

What’s up, coming up

I’m busy with stuff. Answering some mail that can’t be answered quickly, figuring out how to pay for Eric’s college next year, and continuing to work my knee that in return continues to not work as it should.

When I get back to blogging I’ll have Zsa Zsa Gabor, Ralph Meeker, Morty Gunty, Bing Crosby. Les Paul and, of course, the Beatles.

T.A.M.I.’s in love

Denro writes with the news that Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for this…

Finally, after over 45 years, the COMPLETE T.A.M.I. Show — on DVD! Even on VHS it wasn’t the complete show — and it wasn’t crystal clear.

Watch the Trailer. Looks clean on that small screen! Plus, hear the Rolling Stones described as you’ve never heard before – or since!

Hmm… you’re right Denro. I never knew the Stones, from London, had the Mersey Beat sound of Liverpool. And there’s no need for that video window to be so small. The video is actually much larger. Even this size is reduced from the original.

Note: The T.A.M.I. show was directed by Steve Binder, who also directed Petula Clark’s most famous TV special, as well as the legendary Elvis ’68, and the unforgettable ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’.
