If you haven't yet heard Ivor Davis, Author's recent "She Said She Said" podcast about the re-release of his greatly enhanced (100 new pages, new photos, new true stories) book about this life with The Beatles, here's the link: https://shesaidshesaid.podbean.com/e/ivor-davis-re-release-of-the-beatles-and-me-on-tour-with-she-said-she-said/ Ivor asks two trivia questions during the podcast and is giving away a signed, dated copy of his new book, The Beatles and Me on Tour, for each correct answer. Someone has answered question #1 correctly, but no one has yet answered Question #2. This is for a free copy of a GREAT book. And I think you can get the answer! Try!

"She Said She Said" just kicked off a full year of fun shows with Fred LeBlanc of Cowboy Mouth. Fred was a young musician living in Louisiana with big dreams, but when John Lennon died, he realized that no one is promised tomorrow. Inspired to try, LeBlanc took his band Cowboy Mouth to the charts with "Jenny Says" and into the Louisiana Hall of Fame! He will lift your spirits and kick your butt to follow your dream. You will love the music on this wonderful podcast and FRED!!! https://shesaidshesaid.podbean.com/e/she-said-she-said-interviews-fred-leblanc-of-the-band-cowboy-mouth/

In honor of John today, I released this article on Culture Sonar. Often, John Lennon gets pigeonholed as the "sardonic Beatle" when in real life, he was so much more than that. Here is a portrait of John from the people who really knew him: Ruth McCartney, Gary Van Scyoc, Ivor Davis, Author, Art Shreiber, Thelma McGough, and Helen Anderson. Please read these heartfelt testimonies to a complicated but lovely soul. https://www.culturesonar.com/the-john-lennon-they-knew/
