Did you know....?

I’m surprised you didn't know Eric (bdp24). If I was on one of those millionaire dollar game shows, and it was a music question; had one life line left, a phone call....I would call you. 8^0

Well I’m Canadian and did not know either. It was the anniversary of the album and it was in the news here. According to the coverage, Sgt Pepper took the Beatles security duty seriously, even though he thought they were "ruffians and hooligans"

That Glenn Campbell was a Beach Boy?

Chris, there’s a new book out by Ed Ward, entitled The History of Rock & Roll (Volume One 1920-1963). There is a fair amount of information new to me about The Beatles very early days, and the pre-Elvis roots of R & R. Well worth anyone’s time to read. Volume Two is to follow sometime in the future. Ward is a pretty good writer, not a great one imo.

Paul claims the name Sgt Pepper came from combining the words salt and pepper.  I tend to believe Paul about this.

Hoyt Axton also wrote Joy To The World.
