Ex-Beatles
The Producer’s Guidelines
- Only songs by solo ex-Beatles outside the Beatles
- Songs by the Beatles are unacceptable – even if done as a soloist
- No duplicate songs
- Include the song title in your introduction text so others can see it
- To prevent browsers crashing from loading too many videos, please paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line) – (I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary)
Let’s start with what I think is the first #1 song by an ex-Beatle: My Sweet Lord (George Harrison)
Next Concert: Moody Blues
Past Concerts: Beatles
A Frank Angle 
NICE one to start.
Welp, since I was binge watching B movies tonight whilst reading, I figured I’d stay up for your Beatles mania, sans the Beatles song.
Imma go with one of my favorite Wings selections, Band on the Run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dZkmv6YKr0

Glad you stayed up for the event. A lot of good songs in this collection. Worth returning to create your own concert. Binge watching B movies? Oh boy – any beers to accompany the venture? Saturday mornings when I have musical posts are always hectic with me. Sorry I missed this one. … I see the Dolphins seem to be leaning to a Belichek assistant. For me, that’s surprising given the lack the overall lack of success in Belichek’s coaching tree and the experience available.

The whole live performance reality has changed with internet.
Prior to internet, live performance tickets were quite affordable. Point is, the acts were not out to make money from live performances. It was to excite the fans, and inspire them to go out and buy your new album. The money was in album sales. Now, with $1.00 a tune, pirating, sharing etc. a band needs millions and millions of sales. So the reality is reversed. The tunes make people want to come and see you perform. Now, the money is in live performance.

Last night I watched the movie “Eight Days a Week”, a documentary about the Beatles’ touring days. I think it was Paul who said that they had the worst record deal in history and didn’t make any money from record sales. Almost all of there early income came from live shows. I think later, and surely with Apple Corp/Apple records (their Apple, not the tech company), they started to make money from their records. It’s kind of funny that it has come full circle.

Well, she was a performance artist, and she didn’t make a name for herself because she is ordinary. Also, it’s hard to stand out beside John Lennon.
OR, perhaps blind knitting was all the rage back then? I thought hey, maybe she’s doing a blind stitch? Of course I know better. There is no blind stitch in knitting, only sewing.

Oh yeah, definitely enjoy the Eastern European posts. I’ve now been to nine European countries myself in the last couple of years, so obviously those posts peak my interest. In fact, I was invited to a wedding by friends in Glasgow last summer, so I decided to go to that and five other cities I hadn’t seen before. I still write, but it’s been mostly in magazines the last two years. The main one being History Magazine by the Moorshead Group out of Canada. I actually have one out in the current issue.
Yep, met Dale and threw a couple of comments at her site, too.
I started a new travel site a couple of weeks and I’m still tweaking it. I finally got one on WordPress. Lol.

I definitely have plenty to write about. And maybe one day get into some travel magazines. Plus, still fix things up with the site, too.
