I became an avid Beatles fan from the time I used to listen to my brothers Beatles 45s and albums when I was about four years old. When I was six, I bought my first Beatles single, the newly released "Lady Madonna" with the picture sleeve at the Ontario store in Toledo, Ohio. This was my first real introduction to music, which has been a motivating force in my life ever since.
My "obsession" with the Beatles (as many of my friends call it) has come to include, not only owning and studying every Beatles song ever made, but analyzing every book and website written to find out as much as I can about the Beatles music. While many publications and websites include all the intimate details about the Beatles childhood, married life, drug use, business affairs and controversial opinions, my interest always stayed within the bounds of why we all were attracted to the Beatles in the first place; their MUSIC! As interesting as all of these facets of their lives are, they all seemed secondary to me.
That's where this ebook comes in. I always had to dig and dig and dig to find out the information that I wanted to learn about a certain song the Beatles recorded. Through all of this digging, I discovered a 'treasure trove' of information that really made the music come to life. I thought that it was a shame that true lovers of the Beatles music had to read and re-read biographies that spoke in great detail about matters unrelated to the actual music that the Beatles made. And when it came to those matters, they were glossed over quickly in order to delve into more controversial events in their lives. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands by writing and releasing an ebook which fully analyzes every aspect of each Beatles song.
My goal is to write a seperate ebook for each original Beatles album released in America as we experienced it here. Naturally, the first book is entitled "Introducing...THE BEATLES" to commemerate their first US released album. I'm currently working on the second album entitled "Meet The Beatles" which should be out sometime in 2008. When you purchase my first ebook, you will be notified by email when the second ebook is completed for you to check out. Otherwise, keep checking back to this website to see when the "Meet The Beatles" ebook has become available.
My interest in the Beatles has also extended to performing. My good friend Paul Young and I have formed an acoustic duo that we call "Elixer" which plays at coffee shops and other locations in the Toledo, Ohio area. Our set list includes over 80 Beatles songs (hits and rarities) as well as informative trivia and audience participation. If you are ever going to be visiting the Toledo area and want to check out our "Beatles Acoustic Night," please email me for the current dates and locations. 'A splendid time is guaranteed for all!'
