Sounds awesome. I'm not sure if I can plan that far in advance since my job is so demanding. But I am interested. Maybe by then, msLinds, Julian will have his album out and him and Sean will be touring at the same time.

Yeah, beggars can't be dreamers, lol!

Thanks for the info on Paul. I sort of lost interest in his love life after Linda and that heinous woman he chose to marry so closely after Linda's death. Paul deserves to be happy, though, so many congrats to him and if Stella approves than all the better.

Yoko's exhibits are brilliant!

[msLinds]

I agree with you Nico.That upcoming Goastt concert in October is still several months away.It is still sort of early for people to make plans about going to it.But its allways good to know what Sean and Charlotte's upcoming performance schedule is, when possible.I am also hoping Julians new CD will be out soon.I do have one update.Everyone have a safe and great weekend.Happy Mothers day to everyone's Mom. take care

^ I think I'm going to have to see that! Wow, MsLinds...are you thinking about seeing it? I know you live in Northern California but that's closer than my distance. Still, lol, I think I have to see it. Seeing anything even remotely close to John performing John/Beatles songs is pretty awesome for me.

Wanna Buy John Lennon’s Home Studio?

Just like many musos of today, John Lennon had a home studio that he liked to tinker around in and make the odd record, such as Imagine. Hence, he had a pretty good collection of vintage recording gear which is set to go up for auction online on 11th May. The gear was installed at his Georgian manor house estate at Tittenhurst Park, near Ascot, in 1970 after the break up of The Beatles, and was used to record not just demos, but his early solo releases.

Beatles' Strawberry Fields gates removed

The ornate iron gates of a children's home which inspired John Lennon's psychedelic Beatles anthem Strawberry Fields Forever have been removed.The Salvation Army, which owns the former home, is putting the red Victorian gates into storage.It means Beatles fans who pass the Woolton site on bus tours will now be met with 10ft (3m) high replicas.

I saw someone posted on the Beatles Universe Facebook page.That Writer and Promoter Sam Leach is asking for all Beatles fans to prevent this sale.Maybe someone will start a petition drive etc and with enough opposition.A sale won't happen.I don't want those gates sold. They need to be preserved and at least put in some sort of museum or somewhere and kept safe and secure for history and future generations
