British music industry veteran David Stark grew up in north-west London during the 1960s as a dedicated Beatles fan, who was lucky enough to meet his musical heroes on various memorable occasions. From gatecrashing the Yellow Submarine film premiere in 1968 and sitting right behind them, to meeting the group individually in some extraordinary circumstances, he recalls his many Beatles encounters here for the first time. However, Stark’s stories don’t end with the ’60s, as he continued to encounter all the solo Beatles into the ’70s and beyond, culminating in 2006 with Sir Paul McCartney inducting him as a ‘Companion of LIPA’ for his work with songwriting students, which he still does. You’ll also learn about his career as record promoter; music trade editor and publisher; Blue Plaque initiator; and life-long drummer, among his many other achievements. SPECIAL FEATURES: 1) Two forewords, written and read by Richard Buskin and Lesley-Ann Jones, two close friends of Stark's who are both acclaimed best-selling authors in their own right: 2) Part of an exclusive interview with John Lennon's best friend and former member of The Quarrymen, Pete Shotton (1941-2017). In 1983 Stark spoke at length with Shotton, who is heard here for the first time in his own words. This includes him talking about his reaction to Lennon's murder in December 1980, and rushing to George Harrison's house in Henley-on-Thames that same morning. 3) Beatles tribute song 'Gold Songs' recorded by Fab Gear (vocals: Ben Champniss). Music & lyrics written by David Stark, who also plays drums on it and is co-producer. This special homage to The Beatles appears at the end of the audiobook, while a short section of the intro also opens it. (A video montage can also be found at YouTube).Ver livro
Our Miss Brooks was a big radio hit from the get go. Eve Arden may not have been the original first choice but she made the role her own and gathered individual awards by the armful. All the way up until its debut in 1949 women had been, as in much of life, the subordinate gender, supporters and flag-wavers rather than equals or the stars. Our Miss Brooks helped change that. Here was a woman, not confined to life as a housewife. She was confident, funny and layered with sometimes conflicting emotions, trying to gain a boyfriend of her choosing and holding down a job as a high-school teacher. It was quite a menu. Jeff Chandler played her shy biology teacher love interest, Mr Boynton. And the dynamics and laughs between themselves, the students, their colleagues, and principal, all played by a very fine cast, make this situation comedy one of radios funniest and finest. -Let’s go join the fun.Ver livro

An immersive look at the country music sub-genre, from its 1950s origins to its heyday to the twenty-first century. In California’s Central Valley, two thousand miles away from Nashville’s country hit machine, the hard edge of the Bakersfield Sound transformed American music during the later half of the twentieth century. Fueled by the steel twang of electric guitars, explosive drumming, and powerfully aching lyrics, the Sound transformed hard times and desperation into chart-toppers. It vaulted displaced Oklahomans like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to stardom, and even today the Sound’s influence on country music is still widely felt. In this fascinating book, veteran journalist Robert E. Prince traces the Bakersfield Sound’s roots from Dust Bowl and World War II migrations through the heyday of Owens, Haggard, and Hee Haw, and into the twenty-first century. Outlaw country demands good storytelling, and Price obliges; to fully understand the Sound and its musicians we dip into honky-tonks, dives, and radio stations playing the songs of sun-parched days spent on oil rigs and in cotton fields, the melodies of hardship and kinship, a soundtrack for dancing and brawling. In other words, The Bakersfield Sound immerses us in the unique cultural convergence that gave rise to a visceral and distinctly California country music. Praise for The Bakersfield Sound “A savvy blend of personal anecdotes and broader historical narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews “This book all but reads itself. Price’s sense of history, his command of facts, his sense of humor, his sensitivity to class and race, and a love of the music—it’s all here.” —Greil MarcusVer livro
