By Macca818 the 1993 World Tour The First Rehearsals: "We're out into the Unknown now." A word from Paul and Wix: Paul: You've got these worries, the Baseline the Vocal are two separate lines of Research. You think you have everything down and you are SO happy! But, then someone forgets a line or a cord. That's where it ALL starts. There are always a couple of difficult bits in rehearsal. We are doing a song on tour now Fixing a Hole, and the Bass goes like a drum. The Bass is ¾ or something like that. I dunno what it could be! (I was never great at Arithmetic) You have to get it in your head some how though. But suddenly it happens! The Joy! Wix: We rehearsed a whole Bunch of Songs on this tour! In the 89-90 world Tour We just had to say "Here goes Nothin". So, I'm guessing we'll do ALOT better this time. Well, the 1989-1990 world tour was a different story! It was what you would kinda call "Embarassing"! Chris Whitten (our old Drummer) had Fallen off his Drumming Stool and nearly knocked himself out. Robbie forgot a whole song and we had to start over LOTS of times. Well, Worst of all was my piano was squeaking like Mad! It sounded like a Mouse was Trapped inside! But, It all came through! I was so Glad! It may sound Like I despise them all, But they are like My own Brothers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Report: Here’s some music to check out! John Lennon’s son, Sean, is very talented, just like his dad. Way to go, Sean! By Pickwick5 Just recently, Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon & Yoko Ono, released his first album, “Into the Sun.” It is said to be inspired by the love of his life, Yuka Honda, who’s vocals are on the title track, “Into the Sun,” which is said to be in a slightly Brazilian style. The album is said to have some “dreamy verse” with some “pounding chorus” in some of the songs, which is a characteristic seen also in John’s music. The album is said to show some of his mother’s unique sensibilities, and his father’s sharp skill for vocal harmony and melody. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ News Extras: Check out this soundtrack with a Beatle track! By Pickwick5 Has anybody seen Armageddon yet? Well, I haven’t yet but I intend to. In the meantime, I’ve been checking out album reviews for the soundtrack. In the reviews they haven’t exactly been praising it (if you know what I mean), but from what I’ve heard of it (just one song off the radio!) it sounds ok. On the album are artists such as Shawn Colvin, Journey, and Chantal Kreviazuk. There are also quite a few tracks from Aerosmith. These include the Diane Warren composition, “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing,” which I found quite enjoyable (even the music video was o.k.), “Sweet Emotion,” and the Beatles’ “Come Together.” So, although I haven’t heard the entire album yet, I figure if it has a Beatle song on it, it can’t be all bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By Veg987 1.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone. Lucy in the Sky with diamonds, Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat Marshmallow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, That grow so incredibly high. Newspaper Taxi appear on the shore, Waiting to take you away. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, And you're gone. Lucy in the sky with Diamonds, Picture yourself on a train in a station, With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By Hoops3388 This week’s sound-alike is the Byrds. The Byrds (in my opinion) are basically a rip-off of the Beatles: same hair cut and everything. They’re also from about the same time. They put out 11 albums before breaking up in 1972. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By Macca818 Unscramble these Beatles song titles: 1.

This issue I’ve got a quite a few funny ones, along with some ones about Sgt. Pepper. Enjoy! :o) “…I’m your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills. The fills were funny because I’m really left-handed playing a right-handed kit…I can’t roll around the drums because of that. I have to start with my left hand. If I come off the snare onto the tom-tom, I can’t go on to the other tom, to the floor tom. That’s why we used to call them funny fills.” -Ringo Starr “Turn that off.” –Bob Dylan (his reported response upon first hearing Sgt. Pepper) “Hearing Sgt. Pepper, smoking reefers, and planning the revolution in my friend’s loft, we were just overwhelmed by their vision.” –Abbie Hoffman, social critic “I think it’s marvelous. What does this make my dad?” –Paul McCartney (on receiving the MBE award) “I hate [drum] solos.” –Ringo Starr Press: “Why don’t you smile, George?” George: “I’ll hurt my lips.” Press: “Would you ever accept a girl in your group if she could sing, play an instrument, and wear the Beatle haircut?” Ringo: “How tall is she?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (C)1998 Pepperland c/o Pickwick5 Please no reproductions.
